made small (one stroke) designs for upcomping gigs

made this in photoshop..I never work with photoshop..there must be easier ways to make picture collage..I did it with the function place..as I said..i know nothing of photoshop..have to spend some time on it though!

but here are some small one stroke designs I made this afternoon for upcoming gigs..

Do you find that small is less time for large crowds? I would think the detailing would take longer. But your the bomb

these are quick 1 to 2 minutes (tops) designs, the one stroke makes it superfast..the detail doesn't take that long..

I was asked to paint 60-80 kids in 2 hours and i think it will work with these kind of designs...I am going to think of some more...I did these this afternoon...

awesome work Michelle!

They are so pretty, I don't have any experience with cheek art, I think it takes a lot of work but doesn't impress the same, I will add a brush stroke across the forehead just to look busy, but what we can do with boys?

I really like your soccerball. I hate soccerballs!!! They kick my butt.

Michele,

Can you put your latest avatar into your gallery. That thing rocks the house!

ok..I will! thanks!

the fish and the bear are awsome!

Love them

Love the spider and the bear.

thanks! I think I will spend some more time on those kind of cute designs..

I hate them too then I started looking at it as if I was drawing a house (the black in middle) then just extend the points, theeennnn draw roof tops. lol. Michele your great once again.

that is exactly how i do them also! think I saw it on some dvd or youtube..

That is a great way to think of soccer balls! I will have to try it next time I paint one

Love your pictures Michelle! it looks like you are getting the hang of photoshop Do you mind if I try the way you do your dolphin? I like the idea of two stokes, instead of the weird little shape for the nose.

Your designs are soooo cool, i need to figure out how to do my cheek art with just one strokes.

Those are WONDERFUL fast faces!!! They'd be perfect for mass painting! Thank you for the soccer ball painting idea (start with house shape) I hated doing soccer balls 'cause I'd always forget how many sides there were and then I'd get lop-sided... Two great ideas...one posting....WHOOOHOOO! Um...are we OK to copy these ourselves????

These rock! I think we should do a "small art"(since we all hate cheek art) challenge soon!

Michelle, could you would you please (with a cherry on top) do a SBS for the heart with rainbow wings? I was practicing hearts last weekend and I couldn't get the hang of doing one-stroke hearts and my wings always look amateurish.

These are great Michelle! I love the bear....well, all of them really.

Have you seen the TAG FB site? They have an album with Daubers ideas that might help you out, with a pretty cute owl, frog, balls, bee, caterpillars etc

I hated soccerballs too but some wonderful angel shared a SBS over here a few months ago (maybe Denise????) and now soccerballs are a hit with boys!! It's sooo easy. I couldn't find the thread so I did my own SBS just for you

1.- Paint a white circle:


2.- Mark the center and draw the "arms" (like a star shape):


3.- Paint the central pentagon:


4.- Paint the triangles on the edge and outline:


5.- If you had more time, paint some flames:


TAAADAAAAAAN!!! Here's your soccerball. As I said, merit isn't mine but I'm sooo happy if I can help any of you guys.

Awesome work!

Ahhh! That was like soccer ball lightening just struck my brain! What a great tip! I know this is a dumb thing to be jealous of, but Michelle I covet your stars. I can't paint a free-hand five pointed star to save my life! Mine always look so deformed that I finally had to make a stencil.

60-80 kids in 2 hours! Yowzah! Let us know how that goes. My back hurts just thinking about it.

super cute designs. So need to master my one strokes.
