HEROINE ADDICT

I did a recent project on Heroin addicts. I found this really interesting in looking how drug addiction affects the skin. I first started out by paling the skin and adding some green pigment in the foundation, to make her look ill. I then defined her bones with a darker foundation, as heroin addicts lose alot of weight. I noticed in photos that the eyes were quite red due to lack of sleep, i used illustrator to give that effect. For the spots i used sculpt gel and coloured with illustrator so they would look prominant and raw. The teeth are one if the most obvious things when looking at references, I used Ben Nye tooth colour to reshape her teeth and to make them look decayed. I finally added some water to her roots to make them look greasy.
