#0 round
#4 round

step 1 Block in colors yellows, orange
step 2 add white and black for teeth and eyes
step 3 draw in scales,and outline teeth,
step 4 add details in scales and eyes

I actually did two looks but the other didn't come out like I wanted but I was proud of the contours and highlights I did with it. So I tried coming up with a different design and I was much more happy with it I think I'm getting better so that's a plus.

I thought it would be cool to try and do a vampire that didn't quite get out of the daylight in time and started turning to stone on the side of the face hit by the light. Anyway:

Stuff used: Wolfe White, Black, and Grey. Cheap black eye liner and black eye shadow for around the eyes... A sponge and number 1 or 2 round brush...


Started out drawing the idea out on my face with an eye liner then filled in the parts I wanted white with a sponge.


Sponged on Wolfe gray where I wanted the stone look... again applied with a sponge.


Using wolfe black and a small round paintbrush, I drew out the black lines along the areas where the gray and white meet. By the time I finished outlining everything, the brush was dry enough where I could go back over the line on the gray side and add shadow to give it some depth like the white peeling off. Just kept going over and over because I didn't want my brush to get wet till I finished. If your paint gets to dry... BARELY dip it in water and rub it in the makeup a bit till it's thick on the brush... then it will still go on light enough to keep the shadow shaded look.


After that I started working on the contours and highlights. For the white side, I used wolf gray on a sponge and got it thick on the sponge. Then I applied the sponge as lightly as I could and just kept going over and over till it was as dark as I wanted it. It came out really good IMO for me anyway I did this on the forehead, the temples, and then under the cheekbone and a little under my lip. I also lightly did around the nose and slightly down the crease when you smile. I did the same thing on the gray side only with wolfe black. On the black side, I also loaded a sponge with white and very lightly highlighted on the gray side to give it more of a stone look and make it pop a bit. Did this on the lips, cheek bone, nose and forehead. I basically just turned my head into the light and saw where it hit the brightest and just dabbed white in those areas. If I messed up or got it TOO bright, I would take the dry side of the sponge and sponge it down softer.


Finished up with black eyeliner under the eyes and black eyeshadow on top (and by the way this is the first time I've ever used eyeshadow or eyeliner on myself but I don't think it came out too bad but it took a lot longer than it looks cause I'd mess it up and had to keep fixing it but I was pretty happy at the end).


And that's it.. Oh I forgot... at the end I mixed read with a bit of black and painted some blood on the side of my mouth and a little gray on the white side of the lips. And I had some awesome vampire teeth... those petite vampire caps from like Scarecrow or Ghost House... but couldn't find em for the picture but... oh well.

Oh my goodness Melinda, I wish you had posted that Frankenstein forehead a few days ago! Had a kid ask for Frankenstein at a big busy festival, and all he got was the "deer in the headlights" look from me!LOL He settled for a monster. Love your design.

Vinnie, I am lovin your ideas. My fav is that swamp type monster you entered on the other pg. I think I'll run with that a bit and make a mask. Thank you for the inspiration.

Don't you just love those requests! LOL I usually say, "If you have a picture, I can do it!" It usually makes them pick from the board

Obviously, not an entry (just a share):

oooooh, scary Gina I like it.
