This dragonfly is perfect  for an on the job design but still with a colourful and wow effect. It’s elegant and funny at the same time.

Let’s get started!

As most of my designs, this one is great for "on the job." Cartoon animal designs are great way to go when we can't spend much time on detailing, and little kids even prefer them more then realistic ones

As a kid, I was fascinated with these magnificent little creatures and would run around trying to catch them which, luckily, wasn’t to difficult. This design attempts to capture their simple beauty and whimsical flight.

Dragonflies are beautiful and intriguing with their shiny metallic bodies, bright colors and wispy wings. People love to have their faces painted with designs of these awesome insects.

It's Spring! So you should be seeing butterflies and birds flying around. Dragonflies are also fun insects to paint because they are simple to do and really versatile.

I was born and live in Russia and everyone knows that winter comes early here, so in November it is snowing. Therefore, for the design of my butterfly, I was inspired by snow and frost, which I see now outside the window. 

This one eye butterfly design is perfect for doing on the job and as a line booster since it only takes two minutes, but it is still effective. I only used one sponge and three brushes to make it as simple as posible.

Here in Norway where I live we now have the darkest time of the year with daylight only for a few hours every day, so I thought I would brighten up my day (and yours!) with a colourful butterfly and dream back to those warm summer days!

In this tutorial I'm gonna go back to basics and make three different butterfly designs. So prepare your sponges, brushes and paints and paint along with me!

You can make this design into a quick, girly design without the eyes, or go even further and add some extra highlights and details.

 

This spider web design is placed on the cheek and it can be easily adapted to the kids clothes / costume simply changing the base colours.
