BURNS

To create burns we need to identify the difference between old and new burns which is colour. There are 3 different types of burns first degree, second degree and third degree burns which is very important for film and tv as you will need to make it look very real. To see missed parts that may be fixed may be found by looking at the person through the mirror and not directly at them.

Evaluation - I had a lot of fun creating the burns although I found it hard to keep up with all the different methods of creating them which is why i stuck with just one method. The build up of the burns looked natural however the edges were very harsh and did not blend in with the skin which made it look like make up therefore to improve next time I will focus on blending the edges more.
