After completing my initial research into Miss Havisham's character my initial interpretations of her including desperation and deterioration. This sketch captures how over time her skin will have withered, much like the dead roses I focused on previously. Her once beautiful exterior has vanished and all that is left is a weak unkempt face. I imagine her lips to be dry and cracked after years of living in very poor conditions, trapping herself inside away from daylight and fresh air. She has no care for herself or her appearance  She feels as if she is dead and nothing more than a corpse. I feel it is important to capture this but it is important to consider her state of mind, which is quite delusional. Although she may feel like a corpse she wouldn't completely look like just skin and bones as she is still alive. 

TEST MAKEUP 

Using a supra color I have created a more subtle version of the sketch I created above. I feel I have been able to successfully capture the pain and deterioration of Miss Havisham. Being mentally unstable she would often not sleep, this would lead to dark circles under the eyes. Years of sadness and distress would also have lead to her features being more sunk in and defined. Applying white skin base on to the lips highlights the cracks and creates a dried effect. 

OLD AGE STIPPLE (KRYOLAN) 

Miss Havisham is often referred to as quite aged and withered. I felt it was important to test some different products to create an aged look on the skin. The first one I used was Kryolan's old age stipple. Overall I was quite disappointed with the effect I could achieve with this product. I felt the coloring was very yellow, and it was hard to achieve a skin match even after covering with my camouflage pallet. Although I did like the texture it created when the skin was gathered together and dried. 

BEN NYE WRINKLE STIPPLE

I was alot more impressed with the results when using Ben nye's wrinkle stipple. Layering the product allowed me to achieve a workable base that could be manipulated to create really deep set wrinkles and scars. The product was also translucent making it a lot easier to match the skin tone and for the wrinkles to look realistic.When working within TV and film product choice is key, as it is essential that the audience are unable to detect any special effects or makeup on the characters, especially on HD TV.
