Ok, using all snazaroo (white, black, red and in the american version blue). Everything was done with a sponge, liner brush and medium sized round brush.
I wanted to show that the same design could be done for either Canadian or American. So, while the step by step is all the Canadian one, it's basically the same thing for the American one.

Perry, I LOVE the American eagle, I will be practicing that one for my July events. (I like the Canadian one too, but that maple leaf always gets the best of me.)

Great job.

Jenny

love it!

Wow - great idea

Starting with a #8 round brush, create the outline or base of the eagle head and use the extended teardrops to create the sections of the wings just above the eyebrow and one section extending down.

Add yellow to the beak area.

Using the #3 round, outline the head, beak and create the eye and then create the effects of layered feathers.

Using #3 round outline the inner sections of the wings and the outer sections with blue adding stars to both sides of the eagle head.

Adding black on the underside of the wing sections for more definition and "viola"!!!

Great work Perry!

Oooh, I like the eagle, too.

Both eagles are awsome!!! Great Ideas you guys!!

Perry, i noticed you brought your beak up higher on the nose as suggested in the constructive feedback topic, do you like it better?

yeah, the beak definitely works better.... I'd do more blending of the colours if it were just a bird for whatever, but doing the flags, I kind of had to have a clean transition between the colour changes.

Ok, here is mine...
Single eye design for 4th of july!!

I used DFX Metalix white, blue and red, and paradise white!!
I used a sponge for blending and a #4 round for the stars, and a #2 round for the outline one the stars.
Hope you enjoy!!!


first I sponged on metalix white to the eyelid and surounding eye area.

then I used a #4 and paradise white to two lines thin to fat from the eyelid and filled in between the lines.

Then I did the same as step two but down from the arch of the eyebrow.

then I took metalix blue and drew a line then faded out with my brush and a sponge.

do this same method with red in between the white markings.

then with a #4 round put on stars and dots.

finally, outline stars and white design with metalix blue and add lots of glitter. And there ya go!!

Sorry the red did not show up in my final picture, as you can tell I was having problems with lighting the entire time.

I find that (if your camera has it) the 'text' setting produces the best pictures of facepaints, it really brings out the design and smooths the background, so if you have a spotchy skin day, it helps that appearance. It's a win-win setting!! lol. My camera in a Kodak Easy-Share Z series...I wanna say Z1012... I'm not 100% positive though... more like 95%.

really like that design!

Very nice eye design!

I tried my design again on my step daughter, and this time I put some sparklers around the other eye. Just wanted to share the pics with you guys. You can see the colors a little better in these pics.

That's really pretty bkr.

I like how balanced it feels.

Thank you!!! I was really happy with how the little fire sparklers turned out, I think I should have used flat colors instead of metalix just for the challenge, I think the colors would have stood out better on camera. The pics just dont do it justice!!

That's really pretty!

very very pretty!

Sweet I love it, looks really like a celebration is going on.

I used Paradise white, black, berry red, lagoon blue.
Red and blue glitter.
My new triangular brush, no.3 round.

Think that's it.
Excuse the booga.... I didn't realize untill after I had taken the pics, me and my little one have been sick all this week with the flu. *sigh*
I don't know why but I can never get my slideshow pics to load in the right order..... very frustrating to say the least.
oh and here is the finished pic....almost forgot.

That's it I'm never using Rock you again.
I spent over half an hour loading pictures and it decides it's only going to play 3??? wth???
I feel like I've just wasted an hour, taking pics and loading them for nothing.
Arggggghhhhhhhh.
Vent over.

** I just discovered if you click on show all photos you can see all 7 steps for what it's worth.

she looks sweet! nice design!

cool design, like how you did the wings, they look great!! Good job!
