In my last studio session with Sue, I applied, coloured and removed scar moulds, I found this session enjoyable yet struggled with creating the coloration of my mould/scar. We began the session the same as usual, Sue demonstarting the technique we were going to practice and then practiced ourselves afterwards. I felt confident when recreating what Sue had done as, in a previous studio session she had already taught us how to create scarring and coloration for wounds.
Notes
- Prosthetic glue (moves with the prosthetic)
- 'Prozade' have to remove the scar with pro clean remover
-Stick scars on with prozade, blend with Witch Hazel and then colour
- Have to apply glue to scar and skin - contact product
-Can use alcohol and grease to blend out scar
- Use talcum powder over prosthetic pieces to dry and set the piece this prevents the edges from rolling away when applied to the skin
- Press scar well into the skin, wait till glue is completely dry before applying the scar
-You can pat prosthetic dry afterwards blending out with Witch Hazel
- Match the scar/wound to the colour of the skin first then the create the coloration/ effect of the wound afterwards
What we did
- Make sure area of skin is dry/ prepped
- Apply Prozade glue to both the desired area of skin and chosen scar mould
- When glue is dry/clear you then apply the wound onto the area of glue pushing down into the skin so that scar is completey stuck
- Once the scar is applied properly, you can begin to blend out the edges by using some witch hazel and a cotton bud
- Once the scar is blended you can blot dry with witch hazel and then set the scar with a small amount of Talcum powder
- Once the scar is prepped, applied and ready you begin to colour your scar mould, I first began to colour match my wound to my model using ym kryolan foundation palette
- After I was happy with my base colour of my wound/scar I began to create deeper coloration and effect to my wound using my supracolour palette
- I used moisturiser to break up the supra colours I applied to the wound so that it blended better and looked less 'theatrical'
- I also applied a small amount of wound filler to my scab to add more effect and depth
I asked my peer Toby, If he would model for me during this studio session as he felt unwell and he kindly accepted. I chose to work on his forearm and chose a small scar. I enjoyed learning this new method and scar technique, but struggled when creating the coloration. Both Sue and Toby commented on my scar suggesting and advising me to try different techniques so that my scar appeared more realistic and less theatrical but, I had already tried their suggestions and found that my scar just wasnt as blended and realistic as I have normally created them in other sessions. I still really liked my scar and the session and decided to take the time to study and practice coloration more. I think I will incorporate this new method of prosthetic appliance into my character designs for 'Claudia' and 'Quentin' for the new brief.
