In this segment, we're going to begin with a fresh black guy. It's one of the makeup effects you will use in everything beat a police drama, a hospital show. virtually anything, somebody at some point is going to get bruised and battered. And it's one of the easiest effects to do and can look really realistic without employing a prosthetic. So one of the first things you have to know is point of impact. point of impact is basically where beat a fist aboard the back of the hand, where it comes in contact with your model or actors face.

In this case, we're going to demonstrate a brow bone and a cheek bruise, where your point of impact would be where the knuckle comes in place with that bone and your cheek bone in a normal bruise. How it works is when you get hit your body secretes fluid immediately to these areas. is to start the healing process and that's where you get swelling. So the color radiates away from this and then pools around your eye orbit. It's most intense here in the tear duck. And then as it heals, the color will come away from your bruising and concentrate in the corner to the point where the blood turns black and that's how you get the turn black guy.

Now, in the old days, we would have covered this with grease paint. But now we have alcohol based palettes. And there are a number of companies that make them temp to pro makes a casualty trauma palette. Your gain has its body expressions and the most popular and widely used our premier product skin Illustrator. I'll be using that for this demonstration. So first you want to read the area getting a little alcohol to activate it.

We're going to outline where our bruising is going to occur. So, again, as you can see, don't use too much alcohol. You want to build this up slowly and washes but you want to read in your area first. This is where a general bruise is going to occur. You're struck on the cheekbone and the Bravo. Crush color will bleed onto the eyelid into the corner of the eye to just do a very very life threatening because this is fresh.

Then slowly we intensify the colors and dance around our point of impact. Tanner says I paint I'm always trolling my brush. Do you do any hard edges or hard lines? You're creating the illusion of broken pillories. As you intensify your color around your point of impact. The illusion of swelling starts to occur in your blood that's filling the area around your bruise.

Again, it's very erratic and sporadic. You don't want it any hard line or look like you drew a doughnut on your model space. You keep the amount of alcohol light on your brush because when you're working this close to the models, I don't want the fumes burning them. That's why you keep having keep their eyes closed. For most of this, you let the color settle in any wrinkle or crease because that's what it would do naturally, as to the reality of it any lines in their eyelid, you want to paint them as well. So also the color has to come right up to the bottom of the eyes so that when they open their eye, you don't have this big white gap.

At some point, if you want to switch to a smaller brush, you can but notice I've pretty much been using the same brush for everything. Again, utilize what's in your hand if it's a nice square, small brush. Used to flat the edges, constantly rolling it. Again, you don't want any defined anything Then once you're done with your read, you can move to the Bruce tone. Start working just a wee bit of that because remember this is a fresh bruise it's more to again accent certain more intense broken, fainting, pillories to intensify the damage or impact of the punch. Now I'm going to add a little bruise tone to the corner where the tear duct is.

That's where the color will intensify. As it heals, that's where the color retreats to and will get darker and darker to the point where it's black in the final stages, which we will demonstrate later. I mean this is our Fresh blacker for last touch to make the car look more sore you can either use a lip lining pencil, or even a red grease paint. I'm going to line the inside rim of his eye and we'll make it look instantly sore inherited. So have them look at the ceiling. I immediately look red and irritated.

You can take the same pencil Close your eyes and do the upper lashline as well. Just take your brush and just plan that away. Again, you're trying to make the eye look sore like it's bleeding. Now the joys of the alcohol based paint is you can touch it just doesn't come off. So your actor can wear this for hours without you constantly coming in and aggravating them by constantly touching the work. Now this color will fade with time dgg and the long hours, you work on film and television, but it will hold up for actually quite a while.

And again, because this layered washes, you can get that watercolor effect and make it look like if they're bruising from the inside out. The dangers with using a grease paint or something heavier You don't really blind your makeup and it looks like the colors on the outside of the skin. Or in this case, it really looks like he's bleeding from the inside and it's more natural. So this
