A hair dryer is great for <strong>speed drying<\/strong> between layers of latex, but remember to keep it on low heat so you don\u2019t melt the clay or the latex.\n<p><\/p>\n2. <strong>Smoothsurfaces<\/strong> like clipboards, chopping boards, and plastic plates are great sculpting surfaces for sculpting multiple small pieces. You can sculpt right onto them and they are very light so you can move them.\n<p><\/p>\n3. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com.au\/sch\/i.html?_odkw=face+paint+flat+head&#038;_osacat=0&#038;_from=R40&#038;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xflat+head+mannequin.TRS0&#038;_nkw=flat+head+mannequin&#038;_sacat=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Half head<\/a>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.com.au\/sch\/i.html?_odkw=flat+head+mannequin&#038;_osacat=0&#038;_from=R40&#038;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xbald+mannequin.TRS0&#038;_nkw=bald+mannequin&#038;_sacat=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full head<\/a> <strong>mannequins <\/strong>from eBay are great for designing your prosthetic and where they will sit. It\u2019s a generic fit for most actors and models.\n<p><\/p>\n4. <strong>Change your perspective!<\/strong> Turntables are invaluable, especially if you are making facial pieces. Prop them up so you can view your work from different angles &#8211; what may look great at one angle may look odd from another.\n<p><\/p>\n5. Plasticine is firm but can be microwaved for a few seconds for <strong>malleability<\/strong>. Earthenware, stoneware, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.monstermakers.com\/product\/em-217-wed-clay.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WED 217<\/a> clay is also great for sculpting but must be kept moist while working and the leftovers stored in an air-tight container. Modelling clay is soft and great for small to medium projects like wounds, burns, noses, brows, chins. It is reusable, flexible and never dries out.\n<p><\/p>\n6. <strong>Vaseline makes a great release agent.<\/strong> After sculpting your pieces, put a thin layer over the whole thing and a little around the edge of the base then cover with latex. This makes peeling the edges off the sculpting surface and removing the clay from inside the latex easier.\n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Special-FX-Makeup-Artistry.jpg\" alt=\"SFX Makeup Artist fake wound\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Special-FX-Makeup-Artistry.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Special-FX-Makeup-Artistry-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n7. The latex I\u2019ve started out with is Ben Nye Liquid Latex and is strong. For bald caps 6-8 layers was plenty strong, but for smaller items 3 layers is good. Too many layers can lose detail &#8211; it all depends on how thick you applied each layer.\n<p><\/p>\n8.<strong> Keep your nails short<\/strong> when sculpting. You can use tools of various sizes and shapes, but nothing beats the ten that you are born with. Using your fingers for smoothing and judging the thickness of clay is important. Having long nails can interfere with the sculpt. If you are smoothing out the clay, the corner tip of your fingers is a great tool.\n<p><\/p>\n\n9.<strong> Keep your work mobile<\/strong> if limited workspace or children are a factor.\n<p><\/p>\n10. <strong>Sculpting teeth<\/strong> in a mouth prosthetic or half mask can be difficult and time-consuming. I recommend buying a set of realistic false teeth. Place them where you need them to make it look the way you want.\n<p><\/p>\n11. When your sculpt is finished, don\u2019t forget about <strong>skin texture<\/strong> to add realism. An old toothbrush used in a stipple movement is great for adding pores to skin. A small toothpick is great for wrinkles and natural surface lines.\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_are_building_up_to_with_your_practice\"><\/span>What you are building up to with your practice?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\nI co-own a film production company, we have a very small crew that usually takes on multiple roles. I took on makeup artist, costuming, set design and SFX so I can be creative. I\u2019m going to expand my prosthetic-making skills to include masks to save application time.\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_you_networking_with_film_students\"><\/span>How are you networking with film students?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\nI am fortunate that my husband, Claudio, graduated from film school and has contacts there.

As a kid, I spent many hours flipping through my Mum\u2019s art books and watching her create amazing work. Now, I cannot keep my imagination or my hands still. I have found that I am inspired by &#8211; some amazing writers  who have written their characters so well that makeup artists have done brilliant jobs bringing them to life.\n<p><\/p>\nAnother place that inspired my imagination was the horror section of the local video store. The monsters and gore on these video covers fascinated me and still do (this was during the mid to late 80s and early 90\u2019s)!\n<p><\/p>\nYouTube has some good artists, too. I started my research with Charlie Short (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCAAszizDDdScfqclAybLiEA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PinkStylist<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCnqFE2ofL5PhKhoMtl7V4CQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Goldie Starling<\/a>.

It\u2019s a great source of professional and emerging artists. These are the best ones around that inspire my own SFX journey:\n<p><\/p>\n<strong>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.powdahfx.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Powdah (Marc Clancy)<\/a>:<\/strong> Super realistic injury SFX.\n<p><\/p>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/therickbaker\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rick Baker<\/a>:<\/strong> Monster maker of major films.\n<p><\/p>\n<strong>Stan Winston \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stanwinstonschool\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StanWinstonSchool<\/a>:<\/strong> The biggest SFX artist of all time has his own school.

After those assignments, I sped off to my computer and started watching YouTube videos on how to do more special effects makeup. I was keen to learn and started collecting products to build up my SFX collection. Well before I started the QC Makeup Academy SFX course I had some skills and product knowledge. This wasn\u2019t necessary for the course, but I wanted to get started.\n<p><\/p>\nQC\u2019s Special FX course was a great place to start. It provided a platform to create each effect realistically and professionally. QC Makeup Academy provides good starting tools, great tips and they provide feedback on each practical makeup assignment.\n<p><\/p>\nI have learned quite a lot about making my own prosthetics, and am almost ready to move into mask making. I plan on doing the Airbrush Makeup course for painting prosthetics on clients and for painting masks. QC\u2019s hairstyling course is also of interest to me because film projects out there try to combine makeup artist and hair stylist into one position to save time and money.\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"cta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_a_career_like_this_as_a_makeup_artist_Find_out_what_its_like_to_apply_makeup_live_on_TV\"><\/span>Want a career like this as a makeup artist?
