Brave New World: Experimenting with 'Scarification'

Technique:
1) Apply rice etc with matik/spirit gum
2) Dry with hairdryer
3) Apply latex
4) Dry with hairdryer
5) Cover with rosey/reddish colour to block colour of items and latex then powder
6) Then match to skin colour/discolour scars
7) Powder to set




Those these aren't the best images, here is my first attempt at recreating scarification with latex, rice and beans, foundation apply over the top to hide colour and match to the skin.

This was my first time doing anything like this, I know there is a lot I need to improve on but for my first attempt, I'm fairly pleased. I'm excited to try more methods to achieving this look and improving my skills to make it as realistic as it can be. With much more practice, I hope to include a more refined version of designs like this in one of my final pieces.
