Practising Veins & Chapped Lips

I wanted to practise the main elements within my design and really learn how to build up the texture and colourings within the veins and peeling of the lip. I practised on half the face on my male friend although this would look similar on a woman.
I really started building up the broken veins into the cheek and this inspired me to build a slight flush underneath to really pronounce the colourings with the blue veins and create contrast.
I was really happy with my colours within the cracked lip as i felt this looked very realistic and this peeling i could re create by just pulling and minipulating each side rather than seeing were the peeling would go and then this wouldn't look similar in my second creation of my Miss Havisham design.

I further experimented using DUO to create the raised effect of the vein on the temple and the cheek i really liked this outcome on the temple and feel i would like to incorporate this into my final design although the raised effect on the cheek looked out of place i would like to create texture but not as pronounced so i will just stipple the DUO onto the cheek instead of creating the raised vein.

Around the eye i used blue tones (supra colour) similarly to the veins but also added in slight hints of a browny red to create that tiered effect around the eye.

Colours & Technique;
Veins: Supra colour- blue,yellow,white & grey- powder Duo to create a more realistic feel.
Tiered eyes & Broken veins- Supra colour- red,brown, blue & white
Lip: Supra colour- red & brown- pat on vein colour onto the lips before applying the Duo to create the peeling effect. Then build up red tones for the cracked effect.
