How to Add Stitches to Zombie Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hello! I'm Matt Cail on behalf of Expert Village. I'm here today to show you how to make a zombie costume. For the more gooey wounds that you have, the areas of the brighter red, you can also consider adding in some stitching. Perhaps this person had a more intrusive autopsy before they were put in the ground. Do this by flanking the bloodline. You're going to essentially match it, but unlike the bloodline, your black line is going to be more straight. This is stitching that somebody put in. This is a doctor's handy work. Watch this coming down and then go like so. Then what are you going to do? You're going to basically put in some stitching. To do that, you're going to go perpendicular angles here and put them in like so. The stitching should be about the same width of the brush. Again, make sure you're using a fine tune brush. Don't make it be a very, very thick brush. Otherwise, the stitching will look ridiculously thick. You want these to be fine as if a doctor has put them on. Don't hesitate to blend them somewhat. They should stand out because they are a darker fabric along the gaunt face, but they shouldn't be drawing too much attention away from the rest of your work."
