Color Design Art

Here it is after I colored it all in.

Here is my initial sketch.

Here it is with eyebrows because I
forgot about them at first.

Beard on My Face

We attached our beard and eyebrows with spirit gum and then we did old person makeup. Here is me making a lot of faces:

Beard and Eyebrows

First we put a layer of latex down on
the mesh we got in the shape of a
beard and eyebrows.

Then while that was drying we took
the colorful wool we had received and
split the two pieces up into ten piles.

Then we carded the two colors
together until they looked like one
color and twisted up the end of each.

Then we would put down a layer of
latex and while it was still wet we
would place a bundle down and pull
it away leaving behind a few hairs.

Then once that was dry we would
do another row just above the
previous row.

And just keep going....

...until you had a nice full beard and
eyebrows.

Then we removed the latex from the
transparency and before we cut out
the pieces we gave the hairs a good
brush to clean them up and shape them.

Black Eye and Face Cuts

First thing we did was make our
eyebrows go away. Then we laid
down the bruise shape with yellow
and filled in the space with the red.

Then my bruise wasn't big enough so
I took the red and yellow way up
onto my forehead. Then I added in all
the purple shapes of the deep bruising.

Then we added bruising to under the
eye on the other side of the face,
because that happens when you
actually get a black eye.

Then Sue came by and put blood on
everybody's face. Here you see the
black eye with blood added.

Here you can see my full face with
everything I did to it. We also did a
basic corrective after everything
on because we're still pretty, just beat
up a little bit. 

To attach the prosthetic we put spirit
gum on both our face and the back of
the latex. Then when they were both
tacky we firmly pressed them against
our face. Then we tried to blend them
into our faces with our foundation.
You can see the blood was added to
the wound as well.

And here is an additional picture of
my full face in completely different
lighting. This is natural light and you
can see that the colors look very different.

Wound Prosthetic

We made these by applying a layer or
two of liquid latex then adding a
ripped up cotton ball piece and
then adding several more layers
of latex on top of that.

Then we put our foundation on the
latex and powdered. Then we added
angry wound colors. I got a little
too much powder on though so it
looks kind of faded.

Disappearing Eyebrows

Then we added several layers of foundation
to cover up the hairs. I had to include a
thick layer of highlight as well because
my eyebrows are pretty dark.

First we glued our eyebrows down with
water soluble glue. The key was to add
lots of layers until you couldn't feel the
individual hairs anymore.
