Post Away!

smiletime what a cute and creative idea... love it!!!

Thank You.

This is my first attemp at a mummy face paint

1. I did an eye design first (since I must admit I'm girly).
2. I sponged white DFX everywhere except the eye area.
3. Then, I added yellow DFX lines that I smudged where I wanded the bandages to be.
4. I outlined them in black DFX. For a child, I would've stopped there and added just some details.
5. Since I'm older and I like dark face paints, I added shadows.
6. I finished the face paint by adding red DFX under my eyes and in the cuts of the mummy's bandages.

Enjoy !

Alrighty...first entry...ever.

Tools:
Snazaroo paints
brushes: 0, 2 & 4 round
sponge

Wow that's amazing ! Really good entries here.. Jody I just love the design you did !!

so cute--and how did you get your 4 year old to hold still so long? My is almost 5 and she is pretty wiggly! The face is awesome. I love the idea of the eyeball just hanging there--yuck!

Netflix She watched the tv for parts and the reflection of the tv through our turtle aquarium for other parts...and I told her I'd give her a special treat afterwards...a decadent piece of Ghirardelli chocolate.

Thanks

So I thought I better do something a little better than the witch I posted--
This is my Sugar Skull, and I have never done one before. I was pleased with it, but I still could use some improvement.

I posted this in the wrong place before! *Smack forehead with palm*




Start with white, Blue, and Black.
--I am going to have some questions in this post too--my white just doesn't cover well, I am using the Blk/White mini arty brush cake--What would you suggest as a great white that covers the 1st time?



Add embellishments

again, question: what tricks do you use to make both sides the same? Does that come with practice? I try to use the eyes and nose, end of the mouth, and eyebrows as guides, but I just can't get it even.



Add Color

Question: is this to busy? Should i have left some color out? I used 5 colors (including Bl & white)
Any suggestions on how I could improve would be great.

I have a hard time knowing when I should stop and not add anything else.

And the last picture is just playing with the color saturation---
question: WHich setting on your camera do you use to take pictures of your artwork?

I am pretty sure there will be links in this wonderful forum answering these questions--so you have any tips, links, or helps to any of my questiosn that would be great!



PS: I am SUPER impressed with anyone who can draw on their eyelids while they are closed! that is SO hard!

Great Mummy--Love how great that looks--

They are all so creative- I love the scarecrow-adorable!

Amylady, first time doing a sugar skull? That's a great first try...

Just checked out the rest of the entries.....
all awesome, but the scarecrow and the eyeball design are so cool for kids!

Not posting for entry did this few weeks ago because I had never really done a monster before and wanted to practice before the halloween.

Here's another one. This one I know is really crappy, but wanted to post because I plan on doing a new one and hoping you will see the improvement.

Tatsuya1-- what brush did you use to get those fine lines! Nice detail work

I used Tag Bright Northern Lights , black white and red paradise mehron. A sponge and a # 4 round brush. step 1sponge on the sunset and make the webs
step 2 bat in the centre
step 3add details [/url
step 4 finish off design with dots, mini bats, mini spiders some glitter... etc
[url=https://servimg.com/view/16687313/149]The finished look probably would look a bit better if webs would shape around the eye area and the sunset area a bit more...

sweet!
