First Exposed Hand Attempt

This weekend I tried a sfx look using liquid latex, cotton balls, and cotton swabs. It worked to an extent.  I used the cotton swabs to make bones in the back of my hand, and then ripped up cotton balls into strips. Then I soaked the strips in liquid latex and used them to make fake skin around the back of my hand that I could rip up and make it look like there was a whole in the back of my hand.  The only thing that did not really work was the coloring.  The liquid latex dries an off-white color and if you put foundation right over it, it's not the same color as your real skin.  You need to put a darker color over the latex first, but I forgot to do that.  Also the bruising I did around the wound tuned out really fake looking,  but the inside of the wound worked.  Next week I think I'm going to try a look using simple everyday products like gelatin or everyday beauty makeup.
