Materials: Black Cardstock, white acrylic paint, pencil & eraser, crayola construction paper crayons, paint brush

Begin by drawing the skull, jaw, spine and shoulders. Once everything is in place, add cheek bones, eye sockets, nose, and mouth. Add hair or a hat. Draw those in and erase any lines we don’t need.

Paint a very thin layer of the white acrylic paint starting from the top of the head all the way down to the spine, going carefully around hair/hat, eyes & nose. When you get to the mouth we quickly paint over it and use the back of the brush to scrape along the lines of the mouth so the black paper shows through.

While the paint is drying we start coloring in the hair/hat then the shirt. Then move on to adding designs inside the eyes. By then the paint should be dry enough to create designs around the rest of the face. Add in a flower, earrings, or a feather on the hat for fun.
