Description
I recently went to the museum of Anthropology in Cambridge as it had been re-opened from being closed for refurbishing. I went there to just really look around and do some sketching then I started to really look at the Polynesian wood sculptures, masks etc. and I got actually quite intrigued. Anyway after a while just looking I decided to start drawing but instead of just drawing I exaggerated the features on the face of this one mask I did and it came out not bad at all.I went home and after say two days came to the conclusion I should try and paint one of these suckers and this is the result.
Around 45 mins in Photoshop CS5

Thanks dude. I think I'll add more in the way of shading to this one later but at the time of submission I was like, meh it looks ok 
I have really enjoyed studying tribal art lately,epecailly African art as they seem to be more adventurous when exaggerating the human form.

Indeed that is the case, just taking a full body photo and exaggerating it to make it into a animated character is nice to do.
