“Creativity in Face Painting“
By Rachel B.
Hi, I don’t know if anyone else finds they need a photo to look at for painting ideas but it makes me wonder about my creativity as I don’t seem to be able to create my own. Yet, I keep reminding myself that I do a great job emulating reality by using this pictures to create as realistic “monsters” as possible. Isn’t copying a form of flattery? Also, I think it shows my skills in being able to replicate something seen onto a face.
Secondly, I was preparing for the Adelaide Zombie WAlk but I needed some ideas and I found this awesome realistic website for zombies. I don’t like it being all blood but rather what about the makeup underneath as well as the acting too. Therefore, I recommend checking out this website cos it’s a awesome zombie makeup by Matt Cail.
This ties to my first ideas with my attempts to emulate (see photos below). Speaking of which, I’m quite proud of my own creation for the bite on the hand (eg how the zombie infection was passed on-just remember to take off bracelets or long sleeves as they rub it off).
Keep on painting don’t stop,
Rachel B.
