Materials used:

Red wool

Red thread

Liquid latex

Alcohol activated paints

99% alcohol

Scab blood

Fake blood

Minimal fx skills needed, only took around 25 minutes, start to finish. Tips:

• The deepest parts should always be the darkest and the highest parts should be the lightest.
• Scatter the blood and paint (mostly browns, purples and greens) around the wound, as well as on the wound.
• Pick an area for the wound to focus on (for example, I chose the right, lower part of my hand).
• Have the wool going mostly in one direction and the thread randomly.
• Use a sponge with holes pick outed of it to create more of a natural effect when painting.

BrollyWeather Bits and Bobs

Here's few of the bits and bobs I have on my Etsy store BrollyWeather

Most of it is Harry Potter related at the moment, but I'm planning to have a few more artsy bits soon, like photograph prints, business card designs etc. Click here to visit, thanks :)

Fairy light Tumblr Shoot

This shoot was inspired by Brandon Woelfel. As I was using a 55mm lens which didn't have a low enough aperture, to create the bokeh effect, I photoshopped the surrounding area of all the fairy lights with a white, blurred brush (I also did this to the reflection in the glasses).

Before I photoshopped any of the photos, I used the same preset on Lightroom, which has a slight blue and pink filter, which gives the 'tumblr' effect. The last four photos, I just used a Lightroom pre-made preset (B&W Look 2). Hope you like them and a massive thank you to Emily who modelled <3
