I'm willing to bet that when Johnny was sitting and getting his Sparrow-make-up done for him, they tried to make an even base - a clean canvas - and then proceeded to other areas. Meaning, they hid Johnny's imperfections (baggy eyes, dark cicles under the eyes, redness, veins, what ever he might have had) with make-up. It's true as you say that his skin colour is uneven, but I'd say it's "evenly uneven" if that even makes any sense. : D<br /><br />But anyway, make-up artists and such usually start with and even base as it is the painting canvas where you'll put your blush/shadows/eyeliner/other stuff. You can use a variety of different shades of make-up for your base (I use three!), but always make sure that it's evenly blend (without forgetting neck/jawline and temples) and looks more or less normal.<br /><br />Improving self is really a good thing, and though admirable that you try to do things first by thinking things yourself, it doesn't really hurt you to look how other people have solved a similar problems. ;) If they're not usable as such, you still might get a tip or two out of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527083730417623471.post-9796266416677108692010-05-12T17:53:01.349+03:002010-05-12T17:53:01.349+03:00Hmm. If you find a picture of Jack in the third mo...Hmm. If you find a picture of Jack in the third movie, you may see that the face looks uneven in the movie. There's some dirt and the sun has burned his face. From close-ups I have found out that Depp doesn't have a good skin either. It's really important to me that the whole cosplay doesn't look "new" in a bad way, you know.<br /><br />Oh, I didn't mention in the text that I'm gonna use some "real" hair when it's the real deal. Somewhere in the future I'll make even some latex implants for my face and I'll sort of dunk the facial hair in that stuff too for it to look authetic enough.<br /><br />I'm gonna go and look those other tutorials. But first I try to improve by myself, you know. That way I get the whole utility.pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392637378714010190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527083730417623471.post-30354679392361529782010-05-12T13:11:29.730+03:002010-05-12T13:11:29.730+03:00Make-up's looking a lot better already! Be car...Make-up's looking a lot better already! Be careful when you add the make-up, it still looks uneven (if you don't use moisturizer, that might be what'll need) and blend the shadows a bit more.<br /><br />Facial hair, unfortunately, looks a still like it's just drawn there, but since you said you didn't really do much for them, I understand. I do, however, suggest that you google and/or go to cosplay.com forums and look around; there's tons and tons of tutorials and really helpful people who might be able to give few advices for fake beard/moustache. <br />Also - dunno if you've done this already - go look how other Jack-cosplayers have done things - like the beard, the make-up, etc. - and literally steal ideas. : D<br />Cosplay.com and cure might be the best places to look Sparrow-cosplayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
