Creating a Deep Wound:

1. Remove some wax from its container using your palette knife, warm the wax up slightly on the back of your hand.

2. Place a small amount of wax onto the face and blend it upwards until it looks like it has disappeared. If the edges are looking a little bit thick, you can blend these out with some moisturiser.

3. After you have applied the wax to the face, take a small tool like a hair pin, and create the cut in the wax.  The 'cut' can be as shallow or deep as you want it to be.  For a deeper cut, you can also make the cut in the wax wider and more jagged. 

4. After you have created the desired effect, take your sealer and apply this over the wax with a cotton bud.  This will stop the wax falling off the face and secure it nicely.  Remember if you are working close to the eye, ask your model to keep their eyes shut while you apply this.

5. Allow the sealer to dry, to speed up this process, use a hairdryer.

6. Next you can apply some wound filler or blood onto the cut, add the blood little by little.

7. To create scratches, take your stipple sponge and apply some blood lightly around the cut.  If you want to create the effect of dripping blood, use a spray bottle and spray as much blood around the cut as desired.
