00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,040
Hello, so in this next series of videos,
 we've got four videos where

2
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,800
I'm going to be talking through flat mold,

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,400
silicon flat mould applications with you
 and also making them.

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,000
The first videos going to cover sculpting.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,600
The second video is going to cover the
 actual preparing and molding of the piece.

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,520
In the third video
 we will be running the piece

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,320
and actually making the silicone appliance
 and then in our final video number

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,080
four, we're going to applying the piece
 that we make as well.

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,600
So as you can see in front of me,
 I've just got a few steps

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,520
that I'm going to be going through in
 these four videos. 

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,480
We're going to be literally
 taking some chavant

12
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:47,520
all the way through the stages 

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,400
of sculpting, preparing your mould

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,480
with your flashing in your wall,
 we're going to be then running the mold

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,040
and we're going to be using Key
 22 to make our flat molds with today.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:05,760
And then we're going to actually run
 our mold with silicone and cut plastic.

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,480
And then our fourth video will show you
 the application of the makeup.

18
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,760
The product that I'm using is chavant

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:20,560
This is a sulphar free nsp non sulpharated
 plasterine clay, it's an oil based clay.

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,560
I'm using the nsp non sulpharated

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,280
because I'm going to be running
 my mold with silicone.

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,880
And if you've got a sulfurated clay,

23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,480
you've got sulfur in your clay then
 that can inhibit the clay in silicone.

24
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,200
So you want to make sure
 the clay you're using is sulfur free.

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,800
The chavant comes in
 soft, medium and hard.

26
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,640
So if you're quite new to this,
 the softer one is easier to use.

27
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,520
But as you work your way up,
 they do get harder,

28
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,800
but they also retain
 your detail better as well,

29
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,040
so you'll get better results
 from the harder one,

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000
even though it's a bit harder to work with 

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,640
and with your softer clay
 it's easier to work with, but might not

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,600
necessarily get the best results
 when it comes to keeping capturing detail.

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,160
And so it's one of those things. 

34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,680
You've got advantages and disadvantages
 with them, and as you work with them,

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,120
you will figure out which one
 you prefer to use.

36
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,320
I'm going to be using
 the medium clay today.

37
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:21,520
Okay, so first, I'm just going to show you
 some sculpting tools that I like to use.

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,000
I've got some wooden tools here that are
 in various different shapes and sizes.

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,520
This one with a bit of a loop on,
 and I've got some with curves

40
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,720
some with points,
 some with straighter edges as well.

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,920
So you can go through this is really good
 for carving into your clay.

42
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:41,200
And then I've got some

43
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,920
and then I've just
 got some different tools 

44
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:48,960
for creating different shapes
 within the clay.

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,280
And then here are some rubber tools
 which are not necessarily great

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,360
for using with the plastelines, but
 really good for using in wet clay as well.

47
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:04,880
You can use them a little bit
 just to soften in some of your detailing,

48
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,800
but they are really good
 for working with wet clay.

49
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,000
I do have some metal dental tools
 as well, similar to the wooden ones.

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,640
They come with different shapes
 and different shapes on the heads as well.

51
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:25,440
I use nail dotting tools
 which are good for doing

52
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,840
little pore work, bits of skin texturing;

53
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,800
I've also got some smaller loop tools.

54
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:41,000
With a different variety of heads on them,
 which are great for going in and doing

55
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,280
removing parts of
 your clay or doing some fine detail work.

56
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Again, they come in
 lots of different shapes

57
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,960
and then there's
 a few other tools that I have.

58
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:03,720
So this is a binder tool, which is good
 for blending in pieces of your chavant

59
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,160
and good for softening
 some of your lines a little bit as well.

60
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:14,080
You can also use this for doing
 a wrinkle texture or skin texture.

61
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,080
I also like to keep few brushes in my kit,

62
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,320
so I use toothbrush again, which is good.

63
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,480
It's good for going in 

64
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:31,720
and kind of buffing into your chavant but
 also if you use a hairdryer or if you use

65
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,360
a blowtorch on that 

66
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,240
and just harden up a little bit,
 you can actually go in

67
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,720
and create the line and wrinkle texture,
 skin texture in there as well.

68
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,560
I also sometimes like to use
 my black stickle 

69
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520
sponge again for
 adding some texture. You can

70
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,240
soften the clay a
 little bit before you do this,

71
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,440
or you can just go over
 and that will create

72
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,080
a little bit of a skin
 texture over your work.

73
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,240
Some of the tools that you can use,
 or also things like

74
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:06,640
brushes from hardware stores
 just for creating different textures.

75
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,040
And you can also get things
 like stamp tools or rollers,

76
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,480
which already have a pattern
 already in there.

77
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,840
You can get them some everything
 from skin textures to pores to scales.

78
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,440
There's lots of different ones
 out there on the market.

79
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,640
And this just basically creates
 a generic texture on the clay.

80
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,120
I don't often use the stampers,
 but if I do use them,

81
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,520
I always still like to go over
 and do some hand

82
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480
texturing as well
 to make it look more organic.

83
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,800
And then another thing I do like to use is
 you'll see when you are sculpting,

84
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,360
you end up with some little balls
 of excess clay rolling off.

85
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:53,000
So just to get rid of those
 I use a little bit of talc on a brush

86
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,320
at the end of my sculpting
 just to make sure my works really clean

87
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:04,080
and remove any of the balls of clay
 that have rolled off.

88
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,000
So next, I'm going to start

89
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,440
sculpting the wound. 

90
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,640
So I've just applied 

91
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,520
my chavant to my tile
 and I'm just pressing those edges down

92
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,040
and I'm going to create a wound
 so always make sure

93
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,920
whenever you're sculpting something, you
 always have reference pictures as well.

94
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,440
And so I've got my 

95
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,480
wound there and I'm just going to use
 my loop tools to then carve into it.

96
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,000
And I'm going to take
 and remove the middle

97
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,320
to give it some depth. 

98
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,000
I always like to when I'm sculpting,
 just have a little ball of clay

99
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,520
at the side where I can keep putting my
 excess just to keep things nice and tidy.

100
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160
So I'm just going to use my tool

101
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,560
and you can create a bit of a muscley
 texture in within the wound.

102
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:44,480
Like this. But to soften those lines,
 what you can also do is

103
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,760
you can just go in
 with a sheet of plastic.

104
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160
And when you go into those lines,

105
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,040
they won't be as hard,
 it'll just help to soften them.

106
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,520
So I'm just going to make some of 

107
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,920
the edges of the wound jagged as well.

108
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,560
And next thing I'm going to do,
 I'm just going to leave the wound as it is

109
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:21,400
for now, and I'm just going to go around
 and do the edges of my scuplt.

110
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,480
Now I've just gone round and taken
 some of the edging down.

111
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,440
I'm going to use my finger just to blend

112
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,480
those edges out to make sure

113
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,560
that there's no step in them;
 you want to make sure that your edges

114
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,400
are nice and smooth, smooth 

115
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,160
down to where you're sculpting 

116
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:07,080
to make sure that you don't have any steps
 in your prosthetic as well.

117
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:22,680
So now it's roughly

118
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,640
the shape that I'm
 going to be molding, and

119
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,920
I'm just going to go back into my wound
 and add some more detail in there,

120
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,080
so I'm just going to add some 

121
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,080
tissue areas and then just
 add in some really

122
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,400
small balls of clay in there

123
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:50,520
and you can also build into this
 to add some fatty tissue as well.

124
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,240
And I'm just going to take 

125
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:05,520
one of my small tools to blend this in.

126
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,680
And then I'm just going back to my plastic

127
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:20,400
just so I can add
 a bit more detail into the wound.

128
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,960
So once I am happy with my wound,

129
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,560
I'm going to then come to the edges

130
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,240
and we're going to work on these edges
 a little bit more.

131
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,040
So I'm just going to smooth them out.

132
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,040
So once I've done
 that, I'm just going to go in

133
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,080
and start adding some skin texture to it.

134
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,080
I'm just going to use some 

135
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:17,000
brushes to start off with, and I'm going
 to go in a bit of like a crosshatch motion

136
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,240
to add in some of the skin texture,
 this also helps to mattify it.

137
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,120
So whilst I've been blending my edges,

138
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,760
the chavant has come up
 really smooth and polished.

139
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,800
We don't want that
 because when we apply that

140
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:39,000
onto the makeup, it'll give us a really
 plasticky, shiny, fake looking effect.

141
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,360
We want to add the skin texture in there
 because this helps to mattify

142
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,280
the sculpt on the appliance,
 it looks more like skin texture.

143
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,000
You can go in as well
 and just add a few pores.

144
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,080
If you find as you're
 doing any of these steps,

145
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,960
you make a mistake, it doesn't matter
 because you can just go back over it.

146
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,840
If you take too much, move too much,
 you can just add more.

147
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,440
If you do the texturing
 and you don't like it,

148
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,440
you can just smooth it back out again
 and start again.

149
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:26,960
I'm just going to go back
 over with my brush,

150
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000
and this will just soften
 some of that pore texture.

151
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:38,680
You know, what I'm going to do is just
 take a little bit of powder on my brush

152
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,200
and just use this to help remove
 any excess clay that I don't want.

153
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600
These are usually
 when I've been adding in my texture,

154
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,680
little balls of clay that have come up

155
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,360
So I'm just going
 to clean up this edge here I'm just using

156
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,320
a cotton pad and some IPA
 just to remove the clay.

157
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,120
So this is all the excess clay
 that we don't need

158
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:22,840
in the mold. Now,

159
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,320
I'm going to show you one I made 

160
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:33,160
earlier, so you can
 see the finished product.
