Excellent Special Effects Wounds & Instructions Guide with pictures on how to create very realistic wounds.

This book is fantastic for out of kit make-up effects. It shows you, with complete instructions and plenty of photos, how to make all types of common injurues, from a bone sticking out of the leg, to steam burns to the face. One of the coolest step by setp guides featured is the movie quality zombie. It doesn't require any pre-made prosthetics and the look is based on rality (as is all the makeups in the book), a very important aspect for serious artists. It seems that other books feature injuries and zombies that are unrealistic, comical and not suitable for film making. With Daudlin's book, this is not the case. It even introduced me to formulas that I wasn't aware of. As a student trying to start a career in the field, this gives me an obious advantage. I really hope Mr. Daudlin makes a third book and I'd strongly recommend this to anyone of any level who works in make-up or is interested in make-up.

Being an aspiring artist who has had the pleasure of working on movie sets, haunted houses, and even face painting, I'm always up for new resource material to help spark new technique. My mentor suggested this book, and Amazon has the best prices on it! This book is descriptive, easy to follow, and will introduce you to some really cool gags. Most of the materials are either in your kit already or can be easily obtained.
