Quentin

   For my Quentin shoot my aim was to make my model look a beat up as possible, and as you'll be able to see during creating my design I decided to a bit off track and add another facial wound to my model. I started off by adding different textures to the face such as irritated eyes and under eye bags and broken capillaries around the cheeks and wounds. I also added other discolouration around the face to give my model a tired, textured look to his face. 

   Now for my favourite part, yet also the scariest part, the gelatine wounds! I was slightly nervous when using gelatine as it can be very uncertain when using this material and I also have a slight issue with blending edges when using gelatine, but I found when using gelatine this time round none of these issues came up! I'm so pleased with how textured and gross looking both my facial wounds turned out on the face and also how blending the gelatine wasn't an issue at all which saved me a lot os hassle during the shoot. After applying the gelatine and setting it with powder I then coloured the wound, adding dimension in holes or in any textured part of my wounds to make them look more realistic and as if blood had been sitting in the wound for a period of time. And lastly, it was time for to add the blood. To get the dripping blood over the wounds and on the face, I used a cotton bud to get some of the product and laid it on the wound where I wanted it to drip/sit on the face.

   Overall I'm so happy with how my Quentin turned out and I can't wait to learn more techniques in the second year and hopefully be able to improve on some of my skills I have now.
