The lower face is made from a wooden brush with black acrylic bristles that represent his eyebrows. Two round wooden forms with round foam attached to their surfaces are attached under these eyebrows, representing his eyes. A black dot is drawn in marker on the center of each piece of foam, representing his pupils. Perpendicular to the brush is a long, thin, rectangular wooden form, representing his nose.
