The live action Lion King movie will be out soon, and I'm increasingly getting requests to paint a full face Simba mask. Therefore, today, we will try to face paint everyone's favorite lion, Simba!

Elements that I chose to use for this design include "footsteps" that Simba has to follow to take what is his and also bright warm colors to simulate the African savanna where the film takes place. 

This Simba design is a mask version because I usually try to avoid painting on the mouth area. This way, children are more comfortable and we get quicker results.
