ZOMBIE FACE PAINT

Zombie Face Paint Project

Level: Intermediate

What you'll need:

  • Face and body paints: teal, lime green, dark blue, light blue, black, white, pink, yellow and red
  • Sponges
  • Paint brushes
  • Water in a spray bottle
  • Water to rinse the brushes and activate the paint

Instructions:

Note: Rinse colour from your sponge between steps.

Step 1- Spray water on your sponge to dampen it. Load it with teal paint and apply all over the face and the neck in tapping motion. Leave the space under the right eye.

Step 2- Spray water on your sponge to dampen it. Load it with lime green paint and apply on the forehead, above the eyebrows, cheek bones, chin and neck to create highlighted areas.

Step 3- Load your brush with black paint and paint the thick eyebrows, black hollow on the nose, frame the zombies mouth area and draw curve lines under each cheek bones towards the mouth area.

Step 4- Focusing on mouth area, load your brush with white paint and draw a rough outline of the gum and teeth. Then rinse and load your brush with pink paint and create the gum. Rinse your brush and load it with yellow to create the zombie's yellowish teeth.

Step 5- Load your brush with black paint and define the gum, the teeth and fill in the rest of the mouth area with black.

Step 6- Load your brush with red and paint under the right eye, under the right cheekbone, and above the left eye to create openings on the skin of the zombie.

Step 7- Load your brush with black and paint the outline of the red openings, create lines on the forehead, frown lines, under the eyes, outer corner of the eyes, around the mouth, the chin and the neck. Focusing on the line under the cheekbones that you painted earlier, flick the brush with black paint down from that line to create several lines downwards. This will form dimensions of sunken skin.

Step 8- Load your brush with dark blue paint and create shadows under each line on the forehead, under the eyes, around the mouth and the chin.

Step 9- Load your brush with light blue paint and create highlights above each line on the forehead, under the eyes, the middle of the nose, around the mouth and the chin.

Step 10- Load your brush with white paint and create highlights on the rim of the red openings, the teeth and the mouth. Your zombie face painting is now ready!
