What it is used for
This magazine is a training and reference tool for any professional or student in the world of special effects.

- Find out which materials professionals use and how they apply them in real production.

How to use it
- Browse the index at the beginning to identify the articles and tutorials that interest you most based on your level and speciality.
- Read the technical tutorials with the relevant materials in front of you so you can replicate the process directly in your workshop.
- Take note of the materials mentioned in each technique: many are available in the Feroca catalogue.
- Consult the interviews to understand the professional context and criteria for selecting materials in production.
- Keep the magazine as a reference: it is common to return to a specific tutorial months later when a project calls for it.
Tips for use
Use the tutorials as workshop guides
Prosthetics Magazine tutorials are written by artists with real production experience. They are not theoretical: they describe materials, proportions and concrete steps. Read them carefully, identify the equivalent materials available at Feroca and test the process on a small scale before applying it to a project with a deadline.
Complement your reading with hands-on practice
A specialist magazine like this gains in value when combined with workshop practice. Each technique described —from prosthetic encapsulation to mixing intrinsically pigmented silicones— settles much better when you carry it out yourself with the right materials. Use the tutorials as a starting point and adapt the steps to the materials you have available.
Build your reference library
Collecting issues of Prosthetics Magazine gives you access to an accumulated knowledge base on professional techniques, materials and workflows. It is common for an issue published years ago to remain the best reference for a specific technique. Keep them in order and consult the index of each one when you take on a new type of project.
Frequently asked questions
What language is the magazine in?
Prosthetics Magazine is written entirely in English. It is the international reference publication for the FX industry, produced in the United Kingdom. An intermediate level of English is sufficient to follow the technical tutorials, as the vocabulary is specific but repetitive and the processes are visually supported.
Is it suitable for someone just starting out in FX makeup?
Prosthetics Magazine Nº12 is aimed at an audience with some grounding in special effects, although many of its tutorials are perfectly accessible to someone with a serious interest and willingness to learn. If you are just starting out, you will find it especially useful for understanding which materials and processes are used in the professional sector and for getting a clear roadmap of where to direct your training.
What kind of tutorials does this issue include?
Issue 12 includes detailed tutorials on prosthetics and FX makeup techniques explained by world-renowned artists, with technical information on the materials used in each process. The content ranges from sculpting and mould making through to on-camera application, covering work with silicones, foams and finishing materials.
Can the techniques in the magazine be replicated with materials available in Spain?

If you have any doubts about which equivalent material to use for a specific technique in the issue, you can contact us directly.
