Evil Ted Live: Making a Pattern for a Foam Mask
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Making a pattern for a foam mask. I wanted a face mask pattern for my shop, so I used the same technique I did to make a foam helmet. The mask patten was a nice start, but not what I envisioned, so now that I have the pattern, I’ll be able to make changes to it to get more of what I wanted.
Here my supply list on this build.

"its not about failing it's about learning" man how much a sentence can be strong!
A sentence that I really needed to hear today!
Oh I do agree.
@@EvilTedSmith I do not see the link for the notch cutter :(
Ted, I always appreciate how freely you share your knowledge and expertise! I was stumped on how to make a unique foam pattern without losing my mind and then I came across your video. I always prefer draping when it comes to fabric pattern making, so it goes without saying that this method appeals to me. 😁 I just didn’t know how to start-now I do. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Evil Ted...you’re an evil genius!!!! This tutorial is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED FOR MY COSPLAYS! Thank you so much for uploading this!
I love how much fun he has making these. The enthusiasm is great
I'm always fascinated by all the stuff you guys do or make with foam.
I was just about to start my first cosplay and was having a hard time finding a way to pattern the head correctly. You're a life saver :)
When you throw punches, you make sound effects, and it is awesome and cracks me up. I watched an interview with Ewan Macgregor, and he said it was hard for everyone to not make sound effects while swinging light sabers.
Failing in Art or at an Art project is always the best teacher or experience you can learn from.
Agree!
Hey Ted, It's Andrew. Thanks so much for showing me your workspace and all of your creations! Seeing the origins of the two prototypes you so kindly gave to myself and my girlfriend through this video was fascinating, and I'm so glad we got to talk about the UA-cam community as long as we did. It really inspires me to see someone not only doing what they love but teaching others about it as well. I can confidently say that with your work ethic and sheer passion, you have earned yourself an amazing community of future creators and undoubtedly inspired countless members of my generation to go into your area of the arts. Hope to talk to you more soon!
Lol I just started a new mask last weekend. Might have to start yet another after this.
Thanks Ted!
That is sooo cool! Also, I can’t believe you saw my Infinity Gauntlet on Facebook in the foam fanatics group! Thank you Ted!
Man that thing looks almost just like a redhood helmet. Kinda wanna hit my station and make one. Nice video as always man. Thanks for all the inspiration
The pattern is available in my shop. eviltedsmith.com/shop/face-mask-pattern/
Let me know soon as you get this pattern on your site. You just saved me hours of work time and supplies. I have been trying to make a pattern similar to this thank you so much!
Thanks for this Ted! I have been trying to come up with a good pattern for a mask. Definitely gonna try this out
i love learning from you!!
Awesome video, I’m going to have to try it. I’ve never worked with Foam before.
This was SO MUCH fun and so satisfying to watch!! I could watch Ted cut and glue foam all day, in fact, I HAVE!! I really hope that Ted adds this to his template store ! I'm sure I could make this by following Ted's instructions but I'm lazy. I'll take ANY shortcut I can. Who else wants to purchase this pattern?? Let ted know in the comments. If enough of us "bump" the idea, I bet he'll offer it !!
Yes, Im making this pattern for my shop. Should be up very soon.
@@EvilTedSmith AWESOME !! Thanks Ted, and thanks for the reply !! I'll be sure to order that one AND more !!
Excellent, as always!
i am on a budget and this was a nice and simple way to make and mould a mask. thanks
Thank you for your support.
Wait, how did you know that I'm making a mask next week! I ended up wrapping my head in aluminum foil like a crazy person
Those notch cutters look like a game changer! Just used your link. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
I literally love you
Dude that's so cool :D
I am definitely gonna have to grab this template when you have it on your site.
Soon.
That's a nice start for a Dr. Fate mask
I like this tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make this. One question I have is if one were to want to do a full face helmet, that is to say to have eye brow, ears and mouth aesthetics to the make / helmet, how would you pattern those? Any chance you could do a video on that?
Thank you
So cool, and helpful!!!
Thank you for subscribing.
Your video is really relaxing
Yay, thank you!
You are the OG Ted!
Thanks!
Softball with the tape roll is a great idea creating curves.
Thanks.
one question. can i put resin directly to the foam?
thanks for the vid i cant wait for your next vid
Thank you...More to come!
Hopefully this can help me make my Protoss cosplay! Thank you so much!
I hope so too!
I made a "livecast" of the face of a friend of me just with tinfoil. It works. Not the best qualitiy but it works.
Making my coronavirus mask using your teaching. Thank you.
Wonderful!
Will this be on the website for purchase and download?
Hi! I purchased this foam mask template and I tried to get on the link to download it but for some reason it isn't working. Can you send me the template over some other means? Thanks!
Ask in case you don't have the mask templates so I download them to use the mask as a base model, please
That would be a perfect "Deadshot" mask.
Love the video but what if you wanna make a mask kinda like payday where it just covers the front and the back is just the (for lack of a better word) belts so how would you make something like that
I need help! I dont have a manequin and don't know my face/head size! Is there anything I can do?
Just get a jumpsuit and you'll have a nice crash test dummy cosplay.
Also could be Deadshot. Definitely a good start.
How would you flatten the pattern if you couldn't cut like you did at 5:49? Lucha masks are only 2 piece so you can't make the top cut like that.
First off I love the channel.
Secondly, I drew out a slasher mask for a project I am working on and this mask has the perfect shape. This will be my first foam project and. I already bought the pattern from your site. Twice actually I’ve in 8.5 x 11 I thought it came with both lol.
Anyways for the question. If I just wanted to have the face part of the mask where would you cut it? The Picture of the template on your site looks kinda like it is just the front.
Once you make it. You can see where you want to cut to make it more like a mask.
Giant like😍
Am I missing the link to the notch cutters? I would love to get a pair.
Thank you. I will add this link. amzn.to/35VfMWb
Hello any suggestions on the best/cheapest place to get eva foam?
Yes! Harbor Freight www.harborfreight.com/
1000th like!
YEA!
When will the templete be on your site sir?
Soon.
Want to see another video where you modify this mask to make it truly bad Ass!
Aye this video will be perfect for my blue beetle helmet when will the pattern be up though ?
I'll have the patterns soon.
Evil Ted Smith awesome !
Hi Ted! I love your channel, although watching you encourages me to add another hobby to my already lengthy list. There's never enough time. Is it possible to glue (Barge) stretchy fake fur to the mask? I was thinking about adding fur in strips to allow for the curvature of the mold and wondered if you had tried that approach. And are these comfortable to wear for several hours at a time? It seems it would get very hot in a very short minute. Keep being awesome!
Yes, all costumes made of foam get hot. As for fur, you can use the same pattern for it as the same I do with foam.
@@EvilTedSmith Thanks for responding Mr. Evil!
hopefully this works for a pyro head..
This is probably a really dumb question, but what else do you use the 123 blocks for?
Scott Biski They’re also handy for getting right angles when attaching things together and being impromptu mini straightedges.
Originally they are used for machining metal.
I would use them to hold a can of Plastidip down in warm water
@@SuperVoodude Ok good to know, thank you!
@@yink2andahalf But...but how though :)
Question! If we don’t have that type of glue, is it possible to use hot glue?
You can, but using contact adhesive make it easier to put together.
Evil Ted Smith thank you!
where you bought your "lazy susan" ? you are using for making a helmet pattern?
Here you go. amzn.to/2MpDwHu
@@EvilTedSmith thank you
Where we can find the pattern.
Have it listed just below the video.
Could you use hot glue instead of 77?
Yes, on the hot glue.
Huh, you heat after gluing. I like to heat before gluing, then I can bend all the way to the seam and bake in more curves. This method is letting me do a lot of complex curves on a fallout mask I am working on, It pulls back a little on the corner because the foam shrinks a little, but I will usually end up cleaning up the edge with a dremmel or knife to make it join cleanly again.
Hi I did not see the notch cutter
Here you go. amzn.to/2UFGWIl
I ended up buying the pattern from your tested video before seeing this🤦♂️
Thank you for your support.
Yeah, cool and all, but basically, you need a complete cast from a person to start with.
Can I buy the one you just made?
I made this video so you could make it your self!
how can i get the template?
The link is just below the Video.
How would you do a kitsune mask?
SatanSupimpa You can follow the same steps Ted did except you build up the snout with several stacks of foil. Same for the ears.
Punished Props did a dog mask in a similar way I believe.
:)
Can you you make a phase 2 captain rex helmet with templates please ted
A template for making a Jason Voorhees and Micheal Myres mask
I this video I show you how you can make your own Jason mask.
Template???free download!?????
Template yes, Free, not this one.
Hey just a note be careful not to show the whole pattern. People could steal it
Noted!
