1
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,400
So this hand is the hand that
we're going to make into a creature hand,

2
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,520
I'm going to use the same process
as the human hand,

3
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,800
I'm going to be using
the polyurethane paints again

4
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,360
with the flexible polyurethane paint base,
and then I'm going to finish that off

5
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,520
with a matte coating as well
just to take off any shine.

6
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,840
Again, to start off with I'm
just going to cut back any areas

7
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:16,640
that have got any sort of seams or air
bubbles on there before I start painting.

8
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,720
I'm going to be using a scalpel,
some sort of little tweezers

9
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,800
just to grab any areas that I need to get
and some sharp nail

10
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,480
scissors as well.

11
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,040
So in the previous video
I was painting up the hand

12
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,080
to look realistic, in this video

13
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,280
I'm going to be doing something
a bit more creature like so

14
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,440
I've got my reference pictures
here as before.

15
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:09,600
I'm going to be focusing
mostly on the fingers,

16
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,080
the nails, the detailing down here
because a lot of this hand is going to be

17
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,360
hair punched as well.

18
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,600
So the hair is going to cover up
quite a lot of the skin.

19
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,200
But I am going to be putting on

20
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,080
a darker base just so that
if there the any gaps in the hair

21
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,440
and that will just show through
as a bit of a darker base.

22
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120
So I'm going to be focusing
on sort of darker tones

23
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,760
and detailing along the fingers
and around the nails as well.

24
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,280
So to paint the creature hand I'm
following

25
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440
exactly the same steps
as I did with the human hand, I'm

26
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,520
using polyurethane paints with the urofelx
paint base and finishing it off

27
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,240
with the aqualac matte
to mattify the hand.

28
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,600
So on this

29
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,480
hand, we're going to be punching
some hair into it.

30
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,640
I'm going to be using some hair
punching needles.

31
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,200
These come in different sizes
depending on the thickness

32
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,120
and the amount of hair that is going
to be punched into the object.

33
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,240
And I've also got some different hair
that I'm going to be working with.

34
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,080
The hair that we actually have
here, we've got crepe hair,

35
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,400
which comes in almost like little braids
like this is synthetic.

36
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,520
We also have some Susie Frizzell.

37
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,600
This is also synthetic hair.

38
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,800
You can see it's quite wirey
and very curly.

39
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,160
It's really good
for laying sideburns on to facial hair.

40
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,880
But the hair I'm going to be working with
for the hand.

41
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,880
I'm going to be using some mohair,
which is goat hair

42
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,320
and some yak hair,
as well as to create some thicker strands.

43
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,080
Before I start, I'm just
going to powder the hand a little bit.

44
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,600
It's a little bit shiny.

45
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:05,160
So how I'm going to do my hair
punching is I'm going

46
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,760
to have some fine hair around the edges
just to make it look more natural.

47
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,480
And then we're going to be punching
more hair and thicker hair into the hand

48
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200
as we get further up,
so it looks a bit more bulkier.

49
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,960
So this is the mohair
that we're going to be using.

50
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,880
We've just got a couple of different
colors here that I'm just going to mix

51
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,360
into each other by hand.

52
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,360
And I'm going to take

53
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,080
one of my mid needles to do this with.

54
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,880
So these are the hair punching needles,
they come in different sizes.

55
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,680
And you

56
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,920
probably
see better on the thicker of the needles.

57
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,320
There are little

58
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,800
kind of indents in the needle
and these are what grab the hair.

59
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,960
You might not be able to see them as well
on the smaller needles,

60
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,640
but it's going to be this blue needle
that I'm going to use.

61
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,720
So when you hair punching
make sure you're using reference

62
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,840
images as well, so you get the direction
of the hair growth right.

63
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880
All I'm going to do is I'm going
to just hold the hair at this angle

64
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:29,520
and I'm just going to use my needle
and I'm just going to punch in .

65
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,640
And you want to use
a random pattern as well,

66
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,200
but as you can see that
the hair is now secured into the rubber.

67
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,440
So obviously if you're hair punching
the needles can be quite sharp.

68
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Just go careful of your fingers.

69
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920
And if you find
you are punching in too much hair,

70
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,480
you can always go back in with tweezers
and remove some of the hairs.

71
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:16,480
So when you're

72
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,280
working and punching in the hair,
you want to just take into account

73
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,320
that you feather out
the edge of the hair as well.

74
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,960
And you're creating hair lines,
you don't want the areas of hair

75
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,080
to be as bulky as what they might be

76
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,560
in the middle of the area
that you're punching in to.

77
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,840
So you can feather this out
by using thinner hair or smaller

78
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,280
needles.

79
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,640
And then here,
I'm just adding the nails on.

80
00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:01,320
So I'm just going to comb through the hair
now that it's all punched in

81
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,280
the things
to think about when your hair punching

82
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,760
are just be very careful with your needles
because if you're too rough with them or

83
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,760
anything that might be quite hard

84
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,000
or dense inside, then they will snap
and always use your reference pictures

85
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,920
I mentioned before so you can see
the direction of the hair growth,

86
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,160
but also as you are
and using your needles to punch in.

87
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,800
Make sure you're getting
that hair direction right as well,

88
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,880
because if you punch in like this,
then your hair's going to stand up on end.

89
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760
You want it to be following a natural hair
growth pattern.

90
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,960
So I'm just going to use my scissors,
I've had a little bit of a tidy up

91
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,080
already, but I've just noticed a few areas
to trim in a little bit more.

92
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,920
So I don't want this perfect it's
a creature hand, they've not had a haircut

93
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,480
or anything like that,

94
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,280
so it's going to be quite imperfect,
but you still want it to be fairly tidy.

95
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,000
So as you would have maybe seen
in the time lapse as well.

96
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,520
I made these nails here, so I'm just going
to show you how to make one of these.

97
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:01,280
I've literally just taken a normal stick
on nail,

98
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,040
a beautiful French tip
which we're going to be getting rid of.

99
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,160
And I'm just going to measure up to

100
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,200
the fingers
just to see where can be cut off

101
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,240
because I don't want
to be cutting them to short.

102
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,240
And then I'm going to take my scissors
and I'm cutting

103
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,280
almost into a point,
but not quite into a perfect point.

104
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,280
And once

105
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,120
I've got my point, I'm just cutting into
the nail a little bit downwards as well

106
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,800
so we can create some nicks
and chips into the nail.

107
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,080
And I'm just going to take a nail file
and I'm going to scuff the top of it

108
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,880
just so it's matte
and this will also take off that

109
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:48,440
painted frech tip as well.

110
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:56,560
And what I'm going to do
is just where I've got

111
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:02,000
those nicks is just use the very edge
of the nail file, just to cut into

112
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,320
those nicks a little bit more
so you can see the little chips and

113
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,320
things within the nail.

114
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,200
And then the easiest way
I find to paint them is

115
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,360
I just stuck a bit of blue
tack to a pencil

116
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,080
so I could line them all up and paint
the nails.

117
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,800
And I did it in a few different layers,
using some sort of greys

118
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,800
and browny grey shades.

119
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,720
Which I'll bring in

120
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,600
and all I did was layer up
these colors onto the nail

121
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,200
and in between each layer, once it dried,
I went back in with the nail file

122
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,040
just to scuff the coates again.

123
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:27,440
So next,

124
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720
what I'm going to do is just show you
how to stick the nails on.

125
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,000
So I'm literally just going to take some,

126
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,800
super glue.

127
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Be careful not to get any in the hair.

128
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,920
You don't want to end up in a sticky mess.

129
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,520
So that just got a little dot of glue
there on the nail.

130
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,000
And I'm just going to press in

131
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,400
the fake nail.

132
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,480
And just hold on to it for a few seconds.

133
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880
To give it a chance to bond.

134
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,120
OK, so there we have

135
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,080
it, a creature hand,
using some different painting techniques,

136
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,440
some hair punching and we've also added
some fake nails as well.
