- Liquid Latex
- Tissue Paper/Toilet Roll 1 ply
- Foundation to match skin tone
- Tooth picks
- Acrylic Paint (Probably best to use latex pigment or paint, I just used what I had)
- Grease Paint / Face paint
- Moisturiser mixed with red food colouring (Fake blood if you have it, although the moisturiser did create some great fatty lumps.
- Sponge that you don't mind destroying( I suggest a cheap bath sponge cut into smaller pieces, this keeps costs down)
Step 1
First apply a layer of liquid latex to the wrist. It's up to you how big or small you want the wound, mine is quite large. Then carefully apply a piece of tissue paper to the latex. Make sure the edges of the paper are torn as this will blend better than straight edges.
Repeat this until you have 5-7 layers. Try to avoid making all of the pieces the same size. This will make it look like something stuck onto your arm. Try to leave the outer edges thinner and the centre thicker.
For the last few layers of latex I added a small amount of red and yellow acrylic paint to achieve a flesh tone. The colour didn't work out great with the acrylics so it's up to you whether to do that or not. Although it did create a nice dark ring around the wound.
Wait for latex to dry - 5 mins at the most
Step 2
For this part I used a tooth pick but you can use tweezers. Now pick at the part of the latex where you want the wound to be. Generally this is the centre of the latex area.
This should not be neat! Pick and pull as much or little as you want, trying to create torn edges.
Step 3
Next I used Grease Paint (generic face paint) to colour the inside of the wound. First I used a red to colour the exposed skin.
Then I used black around the edges under the latex to add depth to the wound. I also used some yellow to create a fatty tissue look.
I also applied foundation matching my skin tone to lighten the colour of the latex. Remember that any paint or foundation used with show up darker on the latex than on your skin.
Step 4
Next I used a browny/dark red Grease paint inside and around the open area. This adds more depth and a fresher look to the wound.
Step 5
Using a sponge I dabbed a browny grease paint around the wound, then did the same with the yellow grease paint. Try to stipple the paint onto the arm this creates a more realistic effect than rubbing or brushing.
Then I did the same with the foundation to tone down the colours slightly.
Step 6
I made a mixture of red food colouring and a thick moisturiser to create a fake blood. You can just use fake blood if you have it, but the moisturiser did create a good fatty look.
Just a quick warning. Food colouring stains the skin. Takes a while to get off so don't use on the face if you have to go out later!
