Face Painting: How to Create Your Own Face Painting Pattern

By: Olivia Austin

Free face painting patterns are as close as your fingertips and your imagination. You should first try practicing drawing and coloring your ideas onto paper first. If your mind is drawing a blank canvas, let your fingers do the walking through the huge expanse of the internet world.

A newer addition to the face painting supply family is the powder based paint stick. It activates with the use of a wet paintbrush, dries quickly, and doesn't melt. Melting is a disappointment to both the artist and the receiver of the artwork!

Teenagers can be a great help at creating patterns. Adept at experimenting with make-up, many times having taken their own art classes in school, and still in touch with what is popular for the younger aged children, they would be flattered to share their skills with a parent in need or maybe just a single older friend having to come up with ideas for themselves. If you will be attending a party and just need help painting your own face, it could be fun and rewarding to enlist a young friend's help.

It helps to have at least 2 to 3 people to help with your booth if you'll be serving a large crowd. This will give you someone to handle money if you'll be charging for your services. One person can get supplies, such as clean water, or a drink for the thirsty artist. If you use stencils for patterns, they may need to be wiped off between faces. A painter must enjoy interacting with children of all ages. It helps to give the young child an idea of what to expect before you do each step so as not to startle. A wiggle could damage the artwork in progress!

Try looking at comic books, art drawing books, animal books, toy books and catalogues.If you need small picture patterns for painting on cheeks, there are some great artists you could get inspiration from. Ed Emberly is a great artist of small drawings, silly drawings sure to bring a smile. He provides easy-to-follow step-by-step guides.

There is a book called Dinosaur Drawing Book by Ralph Masiello. Dinosaurs are almost always a hit with small children, especially boys. You might want to include some funny drawings of insects, too.

There is a wonderful children's book by Don Bortolloti which provides excellent close-ups of tiger faces you can use as a pattern.

Many faces don't need a pattern. An example is a skunk face. It's all black, except for the thin white strip that sneaks from the tip of the nose to the top of the forehead. You could paint the mouth red for a dramatic effect. No matter what choice of pattern you decide to use, remember to have fun with it!
