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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
