Anime Scars & Burns Pt 1: Sculpt and Mold the Prosthetic

In this hands-on course, you’ll sculpt and mold your own anime-style burn or scar prosthetic using traditional latex techniques — or a watermelon substitute for latex-sensitive students. You'll learn how to design for exaggerated, stylized looks seen in anime, then shape your own prosthetic using sculpting tools and molding materials. This is the foundation for more advanced effects, and the finished piece will be applied and painted in Part 2.
