| FX Faces Skinned
Pro Tutorial |
| |
|
| Step One
The skinned design is perfect for pre-painting because the center of the piece is so different than the edges. You can use RMG for this, but we prefer PAX Paints. We used a deep red pax on all the muscle structure. Once that dried, we used a wash of black pax in the deep part of the muscles to give more depth. We used a small amount of brown around each tooth to give separation between them. We then sealed the pax with Gloss medium to give a nice shine to the paint. |

| Step Two
Begin by gluing your prosthetic down completely as shown in "How to apply an FX FACES prosthetic". Seal the surface of the unpainted foam with a thin layer of either Pro-adhesive or Liquid latex. Allow to dry and powder. Brush off excess powder. |

|
| Step Three
You can now begin to color the unpainted edges of the prosthetic. Choose a fleshtone color close to your own skintone. Apply with a makeup sponge, blending out onto the exposed skin. Once you've finished with this step, powder well and brush off excess. |

|
| Step Four
We now added thinned down Red RMG to the fleshtone makeup to simulate blood spatter and irritation of the skin. We thinned it with 99% isopropyl alcohol and flicked it on with a short bristle brush (see "how to apply an fx face" for this technique). Powder well and brush off excess. |

|
| Done!
The Makeup is now complete. It's time to add final touches! We added thick blood to the egdes of the facial rip and then used stage blood to drip down the face. |
