Alicia Melchiott - Latex Skin

To create the few areas where Alicia have visible skin, i chosed to do a very easy method. Start with gluing cloth onto the areas where skin should be seen, and make sure it is as smooth as possible, and that it covers a bit more than you need because her clothes must have skin to cover a bit, making it more realistic.


Finish with a few layers of coloured latex, i did 4 thin layers. You can colour latex in a few ways, one is with acrylic paint, and the other is with colouring powder. The powder is prefered on areas where the skin will bend alot, acrylic paint can be used on areas like this, so that is what i did. ther eason Latex is prefered over just painting the skin is that it gives it a more skin-like finish and will stick out from the clothing bits more, otherwise it might look like skin coloured clothing.
