How to Paint a Halloween Mask Using Brush Painting Technique | Monster Lab

[@wmonger]

Thank you Ed, I really appreciate you taking the time to make these video's.

[@MegaHellstrike]

Hey Ed, painting my first ever selfmade latexmask with your paintmix, I can not believe that it works! Since I'm living in Austria I don't have access to Monster Makers latex, so I made the mask (and 1/3 of the paint mix) out of a somewhat non-descript liquid latex, so I'm blown away that, at least right now, the base coat of skin color sticks to the mask perfectly. Even more incredible is that the mix actually feeds through my beginner's airbrush which usually clogs really easy. EDIT: So, the paintjob is completely done now, still amazed that it worked! Used a mix of brush painting with regular brushes and make up brushes and airbrushing. Ended up blending not only housepaint but also airbrush paint and regular acrylic with latex, all works fine, is flexible and doesn't rub off (unless you're trying real hard). Thanks to you and another youtuber I managed to finish this first ever paid commission for a co worker of mine for halloween! So thanks a ton!

[@SpokenBroke]

It has been my dream since I was a kid stealing glances at Creepy mags at the grocery store to make my own latex mask. Not having the airbrush equipment was always an obstacle but seeing this I realize it isn't necessary. Bucket list updated, thank you so much!

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Wonderful! Wishing you all the best as you explore mask making. Hello from the Distortions Unlimited crew and let us know how things go for you.

[@cucumbercossa8277]

The way these guys talk about the magazines back in the day make these the modern day equivalent for me luv Jordu and Ed

[@chazzdurden]

I'm very surprised on how professional it looks for a basically diy at home tutorial, specially with that brown wash tecnique, looked amazing and is great to see this tecnique's also a lot faster than using airbrush and stuff ! thanks again, Ed ! you're the new Dick Smith for all of us who love the monster world :D

[@eviledwin777]

Hi Chazz! That is very nice of you, however, I am not even close to the amazing Dick Smith [Who used to help me by recommending his best students who had just graduated his course.] I'm closer to a Bob Ross kinda guy, showing you how to easily make "happy little monsters..." THANKS!!!

[@pobbrett3244]

I love how every product you guys make ends up with its own elaborate back story, thank you for all the content

[@PotatoesAreNeat]

Thank you so much for your wonderful teachings! I love that you show the cheaper basic tools but also explain what professionals use. This is so helpful for beginners in the 3D arts like me.

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

[@barryallenflash1]

This was a cool process! Watched it from the beginning til the end..dude you are AWESOME!! Very creative and talented. I love the fact that you take the time to explain things as you are doing them, instead of just doing them and expecting the viewer to "get it."

[@TheWanderingBeard]

Ed!!!! We missed ya!!

[@Knives91666]

This is literally the Halloween version of Bob Ross ... now i want to marathon these episodes xD

[@eviledwin777]

Yes, but the hair is different.

[@carabing]

Ed, Great stuff, Watched all 3 ep's, but is there a 'Master list' of materials?

[@eviledwin777]

I do that on some videos, but I try to keep them brief.

[@tinocruz8269]

Love it.

[@tobijacka5717]

I love this!!

[@Kai_Arrid]

The second mask looks like a feral mixed with a bromin from fallout 3, which sounds and looks pretty cool

[@Blaackout01]

Nice job I love it 😻 I would like to know what kind of pain do you use ? I have an old mask but I would like to change the color to flesh tone

[@ronthunders6124]

zenotopian blatter feast!

[@TheBorgCollective]

Looks like I need to catch up on my painting skills.. I was terrible at blending paint in art class. Hopefully I'll get better!

[@hholmjarn]

I like it at every stage 😳

[@MamaMidnight98]

Thank you for the video! Could one use acrylic for the base layer instead of house paint in the mixture?

[@eviledwin777]

YES!

[@DarkSide-hv9gy]

Thanks for posting! Do you happen to know the color you used for the latex skin tone paint on this?

[@emmabagley145]

Love these videos! I can't seem to find part two where you show the process of pouring the latex.

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXiUcmpmgdicjNE This is a different mask but shows us pouring the latex in the mold. Thanks so much!

[@artsculpture1024]

Oh aliens...need to have a few on my van. ha!

[@bricomecanique5724]

BRAVO

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

Thank you!

[@danpryle313]

What brand and/ or type of paint is this? Is monster maker paint a good choice? I'm planning on marking replicas of PRIMAL RAGE and DOOM characters with articulation. BTW fantastic job 🌌👍🌌

[@eviledwin777]

Thank you! we have a whole Monster Lab on paint. Check it out! Also anything Monster Makers recommends or sells is good!

[@manuelVillavicencio]

great!

[@mhorrdrakulv171]

Great video, thank you. I'm about to paint my own latex mask, just one little tip, since I'm European I have some difficulties translating the rubbing alcohol technique to make shadows. 2 ounces of color in a quarter ( of gallon?) of 70% rubbing alcohol. Is that right?

[@mfconstructor]

Hello!! How to you keep the brushes not getting hard while you paint? Or when you are waiting for it to dry ?

[@eviledwin777]

Just rinse them with water!

[@Kron0s4284]

yes!

[@aryco124]

Unintentional ASMR

[@MaxiveLegend]

5:55 what a princess

[@sinner13halloweenfiend76]

Can u use just regular liquid latex to mix with the paint ?

[@burrochapadogrl]

i didnt know aliens had very good dental plans

[@kidd9936]

you ok piccolo?

[@thunderhamz9079]

Can I use Acrylic paint for this as well Ed?

[@eviledwin777]

Sure just add the latex!

[@EmilioSantosS]

Like just for that intro :D

[@jordanezell5132]

Could you please try to make a gruesome sheet ghost costume this October? Give it a skeletal grin with with tears in his shroud that indicate how he died. Try to imagine a bed sheet that is confirmed the shape of a mummy, that’s what it looks like.

[@charlywthedarkness]

hi Ed^^ next time how to make a mask with movable jaw?

[@bleakdecember8400]

Does the Liquitex Varnish dry clear?

[@eviledwin777]

Yes!

[@CREATIONSGALORE]

for your blood add a bit of black or blue to make it look more realistic

[@51NN312]

I was waiting for you to try on the masks 😔

[@blackmetalworship3713]

How do you clean the brush after preventing damage

[@eviledwin777]

Water works fine!

[@deoblo85]

WOW !!! thanks for sharing !!! now i need to try it !! HFL!!

[@altermann1ify]

Got a question. If you use the rub down technique with paint/water alone, then won't that crack later on?

[@jaxonv2098]

How do you keep from getting latex balls in the brush and the paint?

[@CitricAciid]

ZOMBIE ANDORIANS!!! AAAAAAH!!!
