Nose, Temple and Teeth

Skull Face Painting

Fill int he temple, and a nose socket and define the teeth.

Use your brush to fill in the area at the temples. To do this, start at the lowest point on your cheekbone and sweep up the cheek bone toward the ear. As you sweep up, curve this new line so that it is about an inch away from the cheek bone when you stop. You will be filling this in with black, so any goof-ups can be colored in. Fill in the area with your paintbrush. You can also use this time to reshape your cheek bone if you like.

To add the nose, you will make a triangle that covers the tip of the nose and nostrils. Leave the top of the nose slightly jagged to look like bone.

Add a thin line in between each tooth. The helps to give the skull dimension.

In our last step, we will create the jaw bone.
