Assessment Part 1/2 Evaluation and Continuity Photos

Overall, I am quite happy with how my part 1/2 assessment went. I carried out my techniques as planned which meant that the look was how I pictured it to look overall. 

I am very happy that my look was able to be completed to the standard that I had hoped as in previous practices I had not been able to fulfill this aspect successfully.

During the assessment, I had some trouble with the neatness and placement of the hair as one side looked different to the other, which I attempted to fix but resulted in making it slightly worse. I would have been better off taking the hairstyle out completely instead of attempting the problem with it still half styled.

I am not overly pleased with how the sides of the hair looked as they are inconsistent in appearance; although, I will admit that the layering of the hair itself had added to the issue but this should have been something that I had taken more time on.

After seeing other student's work during the assessment process, I have come to the conclusion that maybe at this stage that my design was quite adventurous and although I wanted to have fun with this project, I could have maybe gone with a design of equal impact but maybe a little more simplicity. This may be something worth me personally noting in the future.

When looking at the side profile pictures, I feel that my contouring approach was too strong, but I had wanted a defined look to compliment the prosthetic. Despite this, I will endeavour to recreate the appearance as the focus of this project is continuity.

One of my most frustrating elements of the design is the forehead prosthetic - although I used exactly the same product to colour with as the base, not matter what I did, it looked considerably lighter to the rest of the face which I feel dramatically decreases it's effectiveness. The colour under the prosthetic is a much lighter and more yellow type of tone to my model's skin which is the main cause of this issue, but I felt regardless of the thickness of the application, it stayed this way. How to overcome an issue such as this is something I will need to investigate into if I plan to use latex-based prosthetics in the future.
