Step 3. Add red face paint along the top of the wings, inside the ears and for the mouth shape. Paint a line coming from the inner point, down to the bottom of the wing.

Step 3. With a round brush and white we paint two different size circles on the bat’s head to suggest a “crazy” look and two tiny horns. Then, we outline with a number 1 brush the horns and paint black in the centre of the eyes.

Step 4. Now we paint two small white dots on each eye to make them more lively and two small fangs. With watery white and a round brush we highlight the top of head and wings.

As a final touch, if we have time, we paint some small dots and stars around to fill in the background and we can add some stars with a stencil too.

Painting lips with and adding glitter are always a plus!
