Practise of crepe hair application

Step by step guide:

First thing you have to do is cut the hair that you have and you want to use as stubble or anything else, then using an old brush mix the hair in the bowl so that it is not all stuck together.

Next, you need to apply prittstick or stubble stick onto your hand to warm it up, which will make it a bit easier to work with. Then apply it onto the face and then using the brush stick the hair onto wherever you want it to be. In order to safely remove it from the face you can use spirit gum remover.

** in the photo below I have used an eyelash glue as that is all I had at the time.



I have found this process very easy and I feel like it will be very useful while creating my character- the wolf man. It made me realise about the layers and how careful you have to be while applying the hair onto the face in order to make it seem realistic.

The removing process proved to be quite difficult and painful for the model so I am planning on researching different ways of removing crepe hair in order for my model to feel comfortable.
