Small laceration, using Skin Illustrator Official FX & Fleshtone ink palettes, Fleet Street scab paste & Fresh drying blood.

Flick through to see each stage, as I built up each layer.

Hand painted on some veins, as well as flicking on some freckles to help break up the skin. Also adding additional inflammation surrounding the wound.
