Hi! Today I have a Harry Potter inspired post for you. I was scrolling down Powdah's Instagram page, who is an amazing FX makeup artist, and I got inspired to do something in that area but I did not know what to do so I decided to do something simple that actually turned out pretty hard to get done.
After being "forced" to watch all Harry Potter movies, I started being a bit more keen on it and so this is dedicated to the one person that made me watch the movies.
I did this with liquid latex, cream paints, homemade stage blood and very small detailing brushes.
First I put down an orange base with the shape of the letters I wanted to create to serve as my guide lies. Then I applied two layers of liquid latex, one smooth and the second one I tried to leave it a bit messier to achieve the jagged effect of wounds.
Afterwards I went over with a very fine brush with a large rage of blood and bruise colours such as reds, pinks, oranges and blacks, blending a bit of a pinkish red color outside the limits of the cuts.
To finish it off I applied tinny drops of blood in certain parts of the letters until I was pleased with the result and this is it!
It took me about an hour to get done.
Love,
Anna
