Burns; How to re create them with different products

Burns-

Gelatin and Glycerin 

 

Step By Step-

• Gelatin- Depending on what form of gelatin you use- melt or heat it accordingly.
• I used gelatin in a block form. To heat this up simple add a small quantity into a microwavable bowl and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds and check. Continue to heat up until the desired consistency is achieved. ALWAYS CHECK ON YOUR OWN HAND BEFORE applying to the model.
• Using a spatula apply the gelatin to the area and build up until you are happy.
• work quickly and allow time to dry.
• when the gelatin is nearly dry use the spatula and press and lift to bubble the gelatin up.
• Using powder, powder over to protect your brushes for the next step
• Using blood and supra color apply to the desired areas to create a life like burn.
• Using glycerin apply to the burn to create the appearance of it being pussy and sore.

Evaluation-

I really enjoyed working with Gelatin and Glycerin. Both being natural products available in supermarkets and pharmacies I did not ever think to use these to create special effects but they work amazingly! I think my overall look of the burn looks great, It looks very sore and has the appearance of the skin peeling off. I think my blood/color on the burn could be alot better and blended.

I also would add more glycerin next time and maybe color it with a yellow to make puss.
