Please join us on the "Weekly Animal Challenge"

Linda, that Giraffe is awesome, I love it!

Changing, that is a mighty sexy zebra! I think you did a great job. I don't usually use a picture for reference. Totally agree with you about "on the spot" designs.

Pretty toes Whitney!

Thanks Maggie!

You are very welcome I like the hearts too.

Here is mine, I did a sheep on my daughter, very quick one."there goes another dollar" lol

Oh My! soooooo big LOL

I love the sheep. So cute! I could see that working very well at a ppf animal themed event.

Adorable sheep!

Thanks guys! At least she was smiling for the picture, she really liked the sheep. It was a very quick one too.

Aww Maggie like usual 2 cute

Thank you

I agree completely!!Best Giraffe I've seen yet! And what a great zebra, especially being done on yourself

Thank you! The giraffe isn't fully my origional design. I get it off of google & have copied it enough times.....

I agree!!! And I love your cute little sheep, and the face painting is awesome too....lol.... jk.. your daughter is beautiful little model, and my daughter is finally getting that the face painting is a biz and that I need to practice, so she has been my model willingly!!!! Shocking but extremely grateful!!!!

It is insane how talented you lot are!!! Keep it up!!!

WM, I love your feet:-)
Why's the thread looking so weird people?

Awww, thank you kidzz! My daughter doesn't do this because she wants too, I pay her a dollar each time I paint her, it has to be picture worthy to get paid though LOL

What do you mean Linda?

Maybe it's just my computer, but my post is litterly blocking Ruth's post.

I see Ruth's avatar on the regular posting section. But hers is the only one i see like that...weird LOL

lol... glad my daughter doesn't want money!!! although I am sure if she knew I wouldn't mind she would totally hold out... lol but I may totally do that next time I want to paint and she doesn't want to...

love your giraffe linda, specially the touch with the 'graze'

painting without picture reference is a bit too scary for me, what a great job you did on your zebra. I like your thinking though, i'm going to have to work towards that!

cute sheep maggie - your daughter is so pretty.

I'm such a dope - i've tried everything else but the pull of the mighty dollar. will have to try that out on my boys when they get home from school! it's going to take some big time cash to convince them butterflies and flowers look cool on boys though

hehe tell them that part of the deal is that they don't ask what they are getting and paint what ever you like. after all u r paying them.
my eldest won't even be bribed with money need some new tactics

Sorry not very good. I painted this about 3 weeks ago on my thigh and it's a bit rough but as my camera needs a new battery I don't have anything else

The sheep is so sweet!

Maggie, love the sheep! Too cute!

Horses....my nemisis! Good job! I really need to practice those.

You should try it, it works for us because she likes to buy her own things and specially now since she discovered the devil of abercrombie she better let me paint her a lot if she wants that little pair of flip flops she saw for 50 bucks!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments Rae, my daughter doesn't get a say so on what she gets, it is part of the deal and if it doesn't turn out good we wash the face a start all over. I tried to do a sheep mask but she was so ticklish around her eyes that i couldn't go any further.

For boys I think you could get away with doing an eye design and take a close up of the eyes, unless they have hairy eye brows I think you could still use the picture Don't tell them is them, wipe it off before they could see it LOL

Peachy, love what you did with the horses, I wish the picture was bigger, i also struggle with horses and unicorns.

Linda, I love the coloring on your giraffe. Is that a mix of orange and yellow. I can never seem to get my color just right.

Thank you everyone for the kinds word.......lololol I just went back and looked at my zebra and saw I got a little eyelash crazy lolol and the left nostril is a bit out of place. I think I will try it again looking at a photo...because the striping pattern really stumped me. If I can get that right I think it will look a whole lot better

Maggie bahhhhhh bahhhhh bahhhhh (translation) your sheep rocks

C'mon folks join in. We had so many attempts for the sea life week and that was great, so let's see how creative you can be even if you have never painted an animal before. You gotta start somewhere right?????
