How to create a torn neck illusion.

Neck Illusion Tutorial
Casandra Sowards

Materials: White or tan and black eyeliner, black, pink and red face paint, blood

Step 1:

Draw the outline of the torn skin and the inside of your neck in white or tan eyeliner.


Step 2:

Paint a circle of black on the inside of your neck and on the edges as well.


Step 3:

Paint the inside of your neck and the back pieces of the skin red. Create the effect of them in the back by shading black from the top down. When shading the outer edge of the neck paint a line of black and shade toward the circle in the middle. If you happen to shade down the sides accidentally you can simply paint some pink and shade it down the side to create highlight. Since that might seem a little complicated I drew a picture depicting which way to shade.



Step 4:

Paint where your neck is missing black. I found it easiest to use a chisel paint brush for cleaner edges around the skin. In this picture I cleaned up the edges where I painted over the lines with a stiffer flat paint brush and water since the paint I used was water based. If you're using a cream makeup you can just use a piece of tissue or q-tip rolled to a paint for precision.



Step 5:

Add shading around the strings of skin for depth. For this I just used pencil eyeliner but you could also use black paint.


Step 6:

Add blood. This step is optional. I'm wearing a white shirt I got from a concert and i don't want to ruin it therefore I will not for this tutorial. However if you choose to add blood simply add it to your neck stump dripping down over the bottom strings of skin. There's never a right or wrong way to add blood cause it can get everywhere during any injury let alone your neck being torn so just have fun with it.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
