Prosthetic Make-Up Artistry for Film and Television

More about the book

Prosthetic make-up has the ability to transform actors into unique, one-of-a-kind characters who take us into the realms of impossibility, limited only by the artist's imagination. Yet it can also be used in more subtle ways to alter physical appearance and create aging, weight gain, or illness, useful for a variety of genres and entertainment mediums. This instructional book illustrates two- and three-dimensional make-up techniques and covers topics such as: life casting; sculpting techniques; gelatine prosthetics; airbrushing; hair punching; hand-laid hair techniques; and novelty teeth design and manufacture.
