Usage tips
Combine reading with hands-on workshop practice
The content in Prosthetics Magazine is designed to translate directly to the workshop. When you find a tutorial on a specific material — whether a platinum silicone for prosthetics, a latex foam or a flexible resin — try to replicate it with the appropriate materials. The theory makes sense the moment you get your hands on it.
Use it as a reference catalogue of techniques
This is not a magazine to read once and file away. Come back to it when planning a project: the technical specs, process steps and professional interviews contain information that is directly applicable to real work. Many FX artists keep their collections as a reference library.
Relate the content to the materials you have available
Some of the techniques explained in the magazine use materials that Feroca distributes in Spain. If a tutorial mentions a type of platinum silicone for prosthetic encapsulation or a flexible polyurethane foam for character work, you'll find professional-quality equivalents in the Feroca catalogue to work with directly.
Frequently asked questions
What language is this magazine in?
Prosthetics Magazine is published in English. It is the international reference publication for the FX industry, and its content is not translated into other languages. The level of technical English required is intermediate: the visual tutorials make comprehension much easier even if English isn't your strongest point.
Is it suitable for someone just starting out in FX makeup?
Yes, although the content is professional level, the step-by-step tutorials in Prosthetics Magazine Nº8 are accessible to anyone with a genuine interest in the field. If you're just starting out, it will help you understand how professionals work, what materials they use and what processes they follow. Complement your reading with direct workshop practice to progress more quickly.
What kind of techniques are covered in the tutorials?
Prosthetics Magazine tutorials cover prosthetics fabrication techniques, FX makeup application, mould work, character makeup materials and finishing for audiovisual production. Issue 8 includes content at the level of detail demanded by today's film and television industry.
Does this magazine teach you how to use moulding and silicone materials?
Yes. A significant portion of the technical content in Prosthetics Magazine is dedicated to workshop materials: silicones, foams, resins, adhesives and pigments used in prosthetics creation. The articles explain properties, behaviour and methods of use from a practical, professional perspective.
Can I learn to make film prosthetics by reading this magazine?
The magazine is a first-rate educational resource, but real learning requires hands-on workshop practice. Prosthetics Magazine Nº8 gives you the technical knowledge, visual references and methodology of the world's best artists. From there, you need materials and hours of work to develop manual skill. Feroca also offers video tutorials and in-person workshops that complement this type of publication very well.
Is it worth collecting the different issues of Prosthetics Magazine?
Each issue of Prosthetics Magazine is standalone and covers different themes, artists and techniques. For a serious FX professional or student, the complete collection works as a technical reference library with content that cannot be found in any other editorial format. Issue 8 maintains the same level of quality and depth as the rest of the series.
Where can I practise the techniques explained in the magazine?
Feroca, in addition to distributing the materials needed to work the techniques described in this type of publication, offers video tutorials and in-person workshops aimed at professionals and advanced enthusiasts. If the magazine inspires you to try a specific technique, you'll find the right materials and technical support in the Feroca catalogue to carry it out.
