"I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make Frankenstein's monster. Alright, we're going to take our liquid latex and we're going to start applying our makeup. What I'm going to do with the liquid latex is get a couple of drops on here and I'm going to start making some lines on our Frankenstein's face. Try to actually work with for stitching the lines that are already there. This would be like if you have and forehead lines. Those are great. They're already established and you're going to be able to use and expand those. What am I doing? What I'm doing is I'm building up some what looks like more traumatized skin, or eventually we're going to have our stitching. This is going to allow for more of that bodies put together look, which Frankenstein's famous for. Don't be afraid too to use a lot of latex on this. It could be relatively subdued underneath all the green makeup, so we're going to want to make sure it's going to built up enough where it's going to show through and obviously look like some slightly torn stitched together skin, which is the overall effect we're going for. In addition to the forehead, I also recommend up on the cheek and then down. Again, follow the line of the chin, especially if there's a slight indent to the chin. These are great natural lines, which you can then build upon to get going on your stitching effects."
