How to draw a wound on the skin

For Halloween or to get you out of school, you can draw a real wound on your face, hand, or other part of the body. If they want to look closer, shout that it hurts and you are afraid that they will touch you. Look video on how to draw a wound.

Using brown paint, draw a 2mm thick line and lightly brush the edges.

Using paint 2-3 shades lighter than the main one, draw 2 lines parallel to the brown one and blend their edges outward. Do not blend the white lines into the wound, but just soften the edges.

Using the same paint, but with an admixture of blue, highlight or draw the veins. Do this with light strokes, trying not to apply a thick layer of paint.

Where there is a highlight, there should be a shadow nearby: using paint 2-3 shades darker than the main one, lightly shade the drawn veins and folds in the wrist area.

Next, mix burgundy paint with scarlet and draw a thin line in the middle of the brown one. Short black strokes located at the “bottom” of the drawn cut will give greater depth to the wound.

Be sure to powder such art so that the makeup does not give natural highlights where they should not be. Diffuse lighting and matte surface are two necessary conditions for light and shadow techniques.

If you are preparing for a Halloween themed party, then this master class is just for you. With this makeup you can surprise anyone and even scare them.

To create an artificial wound you will need:

1. PVA glue or special makeup;
2. alcohol;
3. cotton wool;
4. foundation;
5. blue, green shadows;
6. stack;
7. artificial blood;
8. brushes for makeup, tone and shadows;
9. brown, red face painting.

You can make a wound on any part of the skin. For the master class, the cheekbone under the eye was chosen as one of the most convex places on the face. When choosing where to make a wound, imagine that it actually happens and where it could actually be. In this case, it is assumed that the cheekbone was hit.

A smokey eye with black shadows is ideal for this look; you can find a tutorial on how to create it here.

The area where the wound will be should be degreased with alcohol and a cotton pad. During this procedure, it is best to close your eye. After this, apply a thin layer of PVA glue or special silicone makeup to the skin. It is best to work with a stack, since the brush will deteriorate after such procedures and during the work it will be uncomfortable to use, since the makeup will dry out.

We decide in advance what size the wound will be and attach a thin layer of cotton wool with smoothly fading edges to the glue. We fix the cotton wool with glue.

While the glue has not dried, we need to make two small walls out of cotton wool and secure them to the prepared surface. These walls will determine the length of the wound. We fasten their edge, leading it to nothing along the skin. The distance between the walls should be very narrow and the walls as thin as possible. We cover them with glue and shape them using a stack and fingers. Position the wound so that it looks real.

We made a mold for the wound. Now you need to wait for it to dry completely and you can start painting.

Apply foundation over the entire surface of the wound and smoothly move onto the skin of the face. We also wait for the tone to dry. If you don't let it dry, the paint will mix with it.

Now our task is to paint over the recesses with dark shades. We paint the space inside with brown face painting. Also, if you have any depressions around the wound, then paint them with a light layer too. After this, we cover the top with face painting of a bloody shade and distribute it with a brush both outside and inside.

Using blue and green shadows we set the tone around the wound, like a bruise.

Add artificial blood to the middle of the wound. Due to the dark-colored cavity, the blood will look richer.

Add more blood to smoothly flow over the skin, if necessary. Spread a little blood around the wound.

This is how easy it is to create horror on your face. Add a black eye or smudged mascara to your look and your look will definitely become realistic!

Drawing fake cuts with makeup is easier than it seems. You can create many different external injuries: simple cuts, abrasions, or even decapitation! It won't take long, cost a lot, or involve a lot of swearing. However, you will need some creativity.
