Fun With Tiger Faces

 I practiced some new Tiger face paintings the other day, and wanted to share with my Paint On Your Facepaint on your face fans!  The first tiger design took about 45 minutes.  It's a great design for clients' private sessions, to accent a costume, or for a client photoshoot. 

Check it out...
Here I am after the color blending and basic shapes are complete.  I always start by sponging on the lightest colors first, then move on to mediums,  and lastly the darks.  I mainly used TAG paints and Mehron Paradise.
In this closeup of my tiger face painting you can see more detail.  I always work from "biggest to smallest." This means the largest shapes come first. Then lastly you add details such as the little dots of color.

I call the final design the "Electric Tiger," because the tiger stripes look like lightning, and the colors are 'electrifying!'

I had so much fun painting myself as the "Electric Tiger," that I face painted Jay with a tiger a few days later. This one is more basic. I finished in about 25 minutes.

 Stay tuned for more faces!
