I have decided to paint this monkey design with a mask shape to avoid the mouth area and for a faster result too.
I’ve only used different shades of Superstar brown except for linework since I love Superstar for base.
Let’s get started!
Step 1
Paint two inverted drop shapes around the eyes with a medium brown using a filbert brush and fill in the area in between with a lighter brown, covering the nose completely. Paint two small circles in the corners of the eyes for the ears.
Step 2
Paint the hair of the monkey with a darker brown and an angle brush doing flicks to give movement to the hair.
Step 3
Outline the design with a round brush and black. Paint the inner part of the monkey’s ears, separate the upper and lower part of the mouth and paint an exaggerated “M” shape and two small teardrops for the monkey’s nose and nostrils.
Step 4
Give some highlights with watery white and drag some white with a filbert comb brush around the mouth to give the impression of wrinkles
