How to get the most out of this magazine
- Read the technical articles first to familiarise yourself with the materials and processes mentioned in the tutorials.
- Identify the tutorials that match your current level and the materials you already have available in your workshop.
- Before executing any technique, review the materials section of the tutorial to make sure you have the right products or their equivalents.
- Study the professional interviews: they often include practical tips and references to processes that don't always appear in formal tutorials.
- Use the magazine as a recurring reference: many articles gain in value as you accumulate hands-on experience.
Tips for use
Combine reading with immediate practice
The techniques described in Prosthetics Magazine are designed to be taken straight to the workshop. Don't wait until you've read the entire issue before you start practising: work through each tutorial as soon as you finish reading it, while the details are still fresh. The learning curve in FX accelerates enormously when reading and practice go hand in hand.
Pay attention to the materials mentioned
The artists who contribute to the magazine work with specific materials whose properties are key to the final result. When a tutorial mentions a platinum silicone, an encapsulated gelatine or an intrinsic pigment, take note: choosing a material with equivalent characteristics will make the difference between a professional result and one that falls short. In the Feroca catalogue you'll find the materials needed to replicate the processes described in the magazine.
Use it as a source of technical vocabulary
If you're just starting out in the professional FX world, Prosthetics Magazine is also an excellent resource for familiarising yourself with industry terminology in English, which is the standard language in the industry. Understanding the terms used by professionals will make it easier to access tutorials, forums and international resources more efficiently.

Is it suitable for someone just starting out in FX?
Yes, although some articles are aimed at experienced professionals, the magazine includes content at different levels. The tutorials are typically laid out step by step, making them followable even for artists who are still learning. That said, a basic grounding in moulding and materials is recommended to get the most out of it.

Are the issues of the magazine independent of each other?
Yes. Each issue of Prosthetics Magazine is an independent publication with its own articles, tutorials and interviews. You don't need to have read previous issues to get value from any individual copy, although reading several issues in succession significantly enriches your learning.
