Okay, this is the read I started with for general reading around the area of the eye to accent my point of impact and to roughen my bruise. You think the colors a little too intense then you just water it down with more alcohol. Once once I've roughed that in, then I go to the bruise tone. I slowly work that in with the red and get a deeper red. As you notice there's a prime red and a blood tone. I'm using the blood red as my base and the bruise those are the two main colors I used to do a fresh bruise I might use a little bit of the blue for the corner of the eye stablish the beginning of the raccoon.

Now when I want to make it older, I had more as a blue. As you can see I'm starting to make a darker shade of purple. And I work that into the orbit and accent the broken pillories to make them look darker. And then I'll add some of this black. Again for the wreck tuning because it's getting more intensified. I need to even make it more dark and slowly build all the colors up in layers.

Again, you want the color to appear that is under the skin, not on top. It's not till you get to the old bruise that almost field these steps now start adding the yellows and the greens you do a mixture of them and then you go to the Asian blood to get that brownie stain and again, the corner of the eye would be solid black now it can make some the blood, a blood with the black as well, again to show the healing process so it's your palette of colors from fresh to a few days old to here
