I want to make a good proper plague doctors mask but i dont really

mill it from a solid piece of leather

Probably with a lot of trial and error.

The usuall. Make template out of paper. Then shape the leather.

To be fair, i tried doing something like that, but gave up because i failed at making the template and i was just getting frustrated.

This is the very shitty mask I made when I was 16, Id never made anything before and accepted no help

Used the leather from an old torn apart chair
Got the template from instructibles or Pinterest or something

That's shitty, but a very well made kind of shitty coming form a 16yo.
did you make more masks over the years anon?

Nope, but have been thinking about doing more recently, and I learned a lot from making that, so I'll probably remake it at some point

I made one out of paper mache for Halloween. It turned out kinda shitty because I didn't have a face mold to work from. I used the side of a paint can and built off of that. So I really just winged it. It didn't look very good, not much like a plague doctor's mask should. But if I tried it again I think it would look pretty good.

Also there are patterns for leather masks online. Just search for them like pic related

Make another one

Any idea if this pattern would translate well into leather?
