Begin by mapping zombie shapes using an eye pencil, before filling the block base colour in with Classic Bright Pink and Classic Bright Yellow using a paintbrush. Keep the paint just slightly wet for a denser colour.

Add in the highlights around the eyes and mouth using the Classic Bright Pink. Sketch in the zombie teeth using a fine brush and Classic White. Make sure to use separate paintbrushes to keep the colours clean.

Outline the shapes using a fine paintbrush and Classic Black and add the smaller highlights and finishes such as the brain and stitches. Finish the look with flecks of white in the hair to bring the whole look together.

Start the look by using Classic Sky Blue as the base colour, using a high-density sponge on the face and a brush to create the angles on the neck. Fade the colour around the eye area as this will be a darker blue.

Girl with step 2 of Glitter Bat face paint design from Halloween

Using a fine brush, paint the shape of a Bat over the eyes using Classic Black and a spiky mouth outline. Fill in the outlines using Classic Dark Blue on a thicker brush. Use the fine brush to outline the neck lines using the Classic Dark Blue and add squiggle lines in between the outlines and a few vertical dots.
