Practising Quentin

I had been practising my vampire bites on myself that I was going to create on my character, Quentin. So my model kindly came into the studios so I could practice on his skin and take practice shots to see what poses I was going to go for and what worked, what didn't and what I could improve on for the actual shoot...

Here is a step by step guide to one of the bites that I did:

Step 1-

Apply FX wax using a spatular to create teeth marks and to eventually build up.

Step 2-

When happy with the depth of the wound, apply red, purple and brow eyeshadow to create bruising.

Step 3-

Apply blood

End product-

I thought that the bruising looked too big and fake but that was because I didn't blend the wax into the skin as much as I should of. So I went home to practise...

Step by step guide and practise - Claudia

Step 1-

Prep and prime the face

Step 2-

Using some celotape, gentally apply to the bottom of the lash in a diagonal way to create a line for the eyeshadow and eye liner but leaving a small gap for eyeshadow to go underneath the eye. Apply black eyeshadow to create depth to the eye.

Step 3

Apply a brown MAC shadow to the eye to start an ombré effect on the eye.

Step 4-

Apply gold to the remaining area (the corner of the eye) and also blend with the other colours.

Step 4- 

Apply eyeliner

In my final shoot for Claudia, I will be adding black contact lenses and lashes...

Step 5- 

Apply the base

Step 6-

Fill in the brows

Step 7-

Apply contour, to cheeks, nose and forhead to create depth in the face and to perceive as an evil look.

Step 8-

Apply the 'vampire look'... all I did to do this was get a small brush and draw in wiggly zig zagged lines in a purple tone and to define the lines use black eyeshadow...

Vampire Bites Research and Development

I started researching into vampire bites because that's what i wanted to put into my Quentin design and to learn the best way to do them, including products and techniques. I had a browse at some YouTube videos and looked at halloween make-up bites as well as the ones on vampire diaries. I decided to go for two different kinds of bites... the bullet hole ones and the full teeth mark bites.

Vampire Bites - No FX needed!

This girl had figured out a cool way to create the vampire bite look on the neck with simply using cotton wool. I tried this method out and sadly it didn't work for me and I didn't take any pictures because i was not happy with how it planned out.
