I created a paper mache pikachu by first, taking newspaper and masking tape and making an oval shape out of it, I then folded some newspaper into a rectangle and I taped it where i wanted his nose and mouth to be, next I took some cardboard and cut out 2 surfboard like shapes for the ears and a lightning bolt shape for the tail. I stuck the tail and ears onto the newspaper by taking bamboo skewers and gluing them in the holes of the corrugated cardboard and made 3 holes in the newspaper where i would glue them in. After that I took plaster paper mache and put 3 layers of that on the pikachu and smoothed it out, Finally I took some yellow acrylic paint and painted the whole thing and used paint markers for the details. I challenged myself by doing something that have not done before. I used a bright yellow paint to paint the figure and I cut jagged lines to make the tail.
