Tips for use
Combine reading with hands-on practice
FX magazines deliver their greatest value when used as an active workshop guide. Don't just read it for inspiration: pick a specific tutorial, gather the equivalent materials available to you and work through it in parallel. Theory sticks much better when it is accompanied by immediate practice.
Pay attention to the materials mentioned
The artists and tutorials in Prosthetics Magazine work with professional materials commonly used in the industry: platinum silicones for prosthetics, latex foams, gelatines, quality pigments and makeup adhesives. Feroca distributes materials equivalent or identical to those featured in the pages of this magazine, so you can directly replicate the techniques described.
Use it as a benchmark reference
The content of Prosthetics Magazine is aimed at a professional and semi-professional audience. If you are a beginner, some of the technical articles may feel dense. In that case, start with the visual tutorials and interviews, and progressively incorporate the technical concepts as you advance in your training.
