Black Eyes and Wounds

Black Eye

Equipment Needed:

• Supracolour
• Vaseline
• disposable sponge

Step By Step 

1. Firstly you will need a Photo of a real Black eye as this will help you follow what colours to use as this will make it more realistic.
2. I mixed from my supra colour palette yellow, red, purple and blue - with a eye shadow brush/sponge to stipple the mixture around the eye.
3. Once it looks similar to your inspiration photo apply a small amount of Vaseline to the fake bruise to make it look shiny.

 Personal Analysis 
 My Bruise looked more like an old bruise rather than a new one. I definitely feel I need to keep practicing creating this look as I personally don't think it looks that realistic. Next time I think I will follow my inspiration photo better so it looks more realistic.

 Wounds 

Equipment Needed:

• Liquid Dark Blood
• Latex
• Supra colour Palette
• Spatula
• Plasto
• Cleanser
• Kryolan foundation Palette
• Wound Filler

Step By Step 

1. Start off with your models hand clean. 
2. Scoop out some Plasto a place onto the hand, using your spatula begin to smooth out the edges - roll out the plasto into a sausage.
3. Once all the edges are smooth and you have your desired shape, use a pin or spatula to cut the wax where you want the wound to be.
4. Using a baby bud and some liquid latex spread this over the wax - to set the wax in place. Then dry with hair dryer on the cool setting.
5. Using the same mixture used for the bruise stipple this onto the fake wound.
6. With the wound filler place this in the middle of the wound.
7. Use the liquid blood in side the wound to give a realistic look.

Personal Analysis

I really enjoyed making this wound and I think it looked quite realistic, I definitely going to keep practicing this. I think next time I'd like to add puss so it looks infected and also some scratches on the knuckles and around the wound.
