Post Away!

I love the way you guys change the facial expressions all by the linework! Simply amazing!

just weird...

maricarmenv, especially love how you did the lower lashes!

Thanks NieleA.

I have to agree with Niele, very nice lower lashes!!!

Step #1 I started out by painting roses using black white and grey.

Step #2 I painted white circles in the middle of each using DFX white

Step#3 I made blue circles inside the white ones and outlined in black

Step#4 I outlined the roses and added spider wed.

Step #5 added red lines in the eyes and white and black highlights and spider











final picture its really hard to see the whole thing since its on my arm..

Daphne, that's really a creepy face! Love the eyes staring down at that awful spider!

Jody, you amaze me that you can turn such a lovely face into such a MONSTER!

This one is a bit creepier than my first

Start outlining your design in white. Don't be symmetrical, it makes it more creepy.

Fill in with warm colors- Looks kinda like a Gotye music video at this point!

Outline each piece with black. That's one interesting Neapolitan ice cream sandwich!

Add stitches. Most stitches will be a basic one line across, except the one that runs across the mouth line, that gets an X stitch to bring extra attention to it, and give the illusion of lips sewed shut.

Next, add red X's surrounded by a black circle for the button eyes.

The bottoms of the red X's turn into bloody sockets when your eyes are open.

Now come play with your new dolly best friend. We will have a MARVELOUS time! x_X

Okey, this is going to be my last one...
At least I've had a lot of fun on my own!!!
(And is it a good sign when people tell me they think it's made with Paintshop? They all look up when I say that I've painted them myself.)

Smiletime what a great creative scarecrow!

So forgive me I haven't painted in over a year, and since this is my favorite time of the year i decided to dust off my paints and get some practice in. I changed the design slightly at the end. but I still love it.

Thank you....there are so many cute ideas on here! I love Halloween theme painting because you can make it cute or gory, and I love them both.....I can't wait for all the Fall Festivals to start!

Sponge on the base snaz pale blue for the skin, small cheeks with bright pink and white for the eyes
Shade around the chin, eyes and eyebrow area with a #6 with sky blue and blend
Use a #4 to add details of the eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows and mouth with dark blue.
Then outline and add stiches with black, and add lips with bright red
OPTIONAL
Sponge neck with pale blue and dress with electric purple
Add stripes to the dress with a flat 3/4 brush and purple
Outline and add buttons and frills as desired
