Through this haunt, though, I've made some fantastic friends. I recently got together with one of those friends and practiced some makeup (seeing as that friend and I are planning on doing this season's makeup). These pictures are from my first attempt at a detailed skeleton. I was looking off of this picture. This artist has incredible horror makeup, by the way. I strongly advise giving her a look! Here are the pics!
The materials I used are strangely simple: eyeliner pencil (both black and white) and some black eye shadow (for the shading).
This was a huge learning experience! I learned that I need to get something that works better for fine details, like liquid eye liner or something. I also learned that I need to learn how to draw and shade teeth better. I probably also ought to make it a habit to set powder on the finished fill-ins (like the black of the eye and nose). It started running quite quickly after I was finished, and I'll need that makeup to last a good 5 hours.
A pointer for beginners--definitely practice a new type of monster on a person, first, so you know exactly what you need to learn to get better!
Stay scary, friends!
