Creation of mask


Having the reference picture been set up, it is time to do the modelling part by starting with drawing the lines over the face according to ones on the reference picture. Turn on the Snap tool with Vertex selected, which makes it easy to see the vertices of the points, so that whenever I approach to an existing line, I can snap to the corners that already existed. 


Afterwards, select one of the shapes and Convert it to Editable Poly, under the modifier panel, attach all the rest lines to the chosen one, so that all the lines attach to each other and become one complete surface.

However, the most important step during this process is to Weld all the verticies to creat a nice and continious mesh. As we can see, the number of verticies is differece between before and after.
 

In order to make a straight and clean line to mirror the other side of the face, all the vertices on the X axis need to be on the same line, and so make planar tool is used here to achieve this aspect.
