Drawing a Balinese Barong Mask – Photoshop tutorial

The Teeth and Tongue

Step 30

Draw the shape of its teeth using #edd8af color. This is your ‘teeth layer’. Add a ‘right fang’ layer, we’ll draw it later on a different layer behind the ‘teeth layer’.

Step 31

Then create a divide on the teeth with the #b23b10 color. You can hide some layers in order to get easier tracings from the pencil sketch.

Step 32

Give the divide a shadow like below.

Step 33

Create the ‘inner teeth’ shape layer in front of ‘teeth layer’. Use white (#ffffff). And then add dark sides to the inner teeth. Create a new Clipping Mask layer named ‘shadow’ in front of ‘inner teeth’ and paint it with soft black.

Then bring back the hidden layers.

Step 34

Add shadows and highlights for the teeth.

Step 35

Create the ‘right fang’ behind ‘teeth layer’ and add highlights and shadows to it.

Step 36

Apply a motif on the ‘left fang’. For the inner motif use #957648 and for the outer, use #c4bca7. Then add stroke with this colour #957648 for the outer part. See picture below for reference.

Step 37

Create the shape of the tongue. Draw it behind the gum and teeth then add highlights and shadows to it.

Step 38

Create the hole of mouth. Draw it behind tongue and color it black.

Manage them by grouping.

Step 39

We also need to add highlights and shadows on the head.
