Recreating Skin..

I was really interested in trying to recreate the texture of skin so I decided to try it using latex. It comes in liquid form so I poured it out onto a sheet of acetate and let it dry for a few hours. I added acrylic paint to get a skin - ish colour and added threads to be the wrinkles. However the end result was not as I had hoped and I think it looks a bit gross so I guess it's back to the drawing board with the latex.

I think next time I might try experimenting with swatches of leather.

I began crinkling tracing paper to get the effects of wrinkles in the skin aswell and this was far more successful :)
