I was forgetting the frilly thing on the head of my dragon last weekend! Did it twice. Of course, it isn't "my dragon" as I got it from a tutorial. I hope to get my own dragon design going soon...

Oh! And my husband always reminds me to do the butterfly head...I always remember on the half butterflies, but not the full face ones. Strange....

I wanted to share this butterfly, inspiration came from a drawing in a book

Pretty! Good choice with the gray instead of black for lines.

Tall Gunner, great shadows!! i am sorry i don't know much about cartoons.
Shadowdrawing I love your palm tree!! great birds of feathers!!
Ruby i love your peacock version!!
Katurah!! what can i say that i haven't yet? No much...awesome, these not anymore new paints now, brought out in you a new artistic vain, wonderful!!
Amoredellomatto great designs there!! love them!!
Thank you Val :Dhad some visitor and my daughter is not too well.Nothing serious but is keeping me away.
Marielle o boy we missed you!! welcome back!! thank you for your compliment on my new avatar. it is my daughter. She picked it and said mummy i want you to use this one!

Daphne....Love your your butterfly!! what a gorgeous silver is it Kryolan?

no, the silver/white is from Superstar (euhm that is....Fab) So it's not silver, it's a sparling silverwhite.. great base!

@sneezle, I love your avatar!!!!!

Is it the glitter white or the shimmer? Great color!! Looks beautiful also with your grey outlines!!

I think it's the glitter, the colorcode is 065 and its the pearl with glitter... (there is also a 140 that is only pearl, so think that's the shimmer...)

Katurah, I think it's so good that you can recognize your work everywhere! You really have your own style!!! (Even on Facebook I see something and when I feel it's yours... it's always yours!)

Hi everyone,

Daphne, that silvewhite colour from superstar is really shimmering, love it! Beautifull butterfly. Thank you for your compliment about my avatar. Missed you around here.

Paola, you have a beautifull daughter! I really love the Cameleon and the placement over the eye!!!

Don't have time now to write it all again (I need to start typing it up in Word again so I still have the comment to cut and paste!! cos this used to happen a lot to me.)
Anyway, I like ALL of those, Marielle! The flower because I love flower best, and you do them so well! that dolphin is one of the best I've seen...I do not do dolphins well     and that panda is sooo cute...like the bamboo on the side too!
Good to see you back Paola! Hope your daughter gets well soon.
Ella, loved that butterfly!

Ella, loved that butterfly!

Oooooooh, that happens to me very often. Aaaaargh.  I can understand your frustration. Thank you for your sweet compliments. I'm not completely satisfied with the dolphin's tail. Maybe i have to paint it more upwards ore something. I'm finally satisfied with his mouth. It's quite a challenge to get everything right.   Good luck with all your cutting and pasting.

Nice work Marielle!!!
Love your necklace! That unicorn and rainbow with clouds is awesome!! That 1st monster is toooo cute to be a monster! I love him! Ohhh the teddy bears!! And the shadows on that awesome Banner!! And spider!!! Ok and the flowers!!! Gosh i love them all!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Just read on the dolphin!! I don't agree i think like Valerie is one of the best dolphin i ever seen! Is closer to the real thing less cartoonish! I do like cartoonish too but yours is awesome!!

Thank you Paola for all your sweet compliments.

  I don't agree with the dolphin feedback, ha, ha. I really think a real dolphin is much thinner and his tail is pointing downwards. Gonna try that first.  

Thank you everyone!!!  
You all are such an encouraging group, definitely have made mr better as an artist!

Hello everyone! Just popping in to finally post some photos and to introduce myself! My name's Kathy and I'm a very new face painter....just starting out... even though I've just turned 61!! (My hubby thinks I've gone mad!!! haha) Oh well, better late than never!! I've been here a little while and do so enjoy looking at all the beautiful paintings you all share here... so lovely!!!!! I did my very first birthday party on Sunday... Teddy Bear's picnic theme... so I practiced a few teddies till I thought I had them memorised well enough... got to the party... and all the children wanted were tigers and butterflies!!!! I think I painted 3 teddies and that's it!!  Anyway, thought I would post the teddie's I practiced here... thanks so much everyone for all the wonderful paintings here! Such an inspiration!! I have so much to learn!!!!!
