3 STEP GUIDE
Beginners tiger face Paint Guide

1
Use a paintbrush or sponge and create two triangles with white face paint on and above the brow. Tip: use a paint brush to outline the triangle then fill it in with the sponge or use the sponge first and the brush to neaten the edges to create clean shapes.

2
Next use the sponge to fill in the forehead, centre of the face, cheeks, just below the nose and top lip with orange leaving the bottom third of the face unpainted. If needed use a paint brush again to tidy up the edes and leave the paint to dry.

3
Once dry, using a paintbrush outline the two sides of each white triangle with black. Add a cute tiger nose with 3 whiskers either side and a line from the nose down to the top lip. Add some small dots just above the top lip and add a few tiger stripes around the face. Another option is to use our Black Brush Pen for easier application with the stripes.
intermediate tiger face Paint Guide

1
Using a sponge or paintbrush create two white triangles going up at an angle from the eye and above the brows. Also create a cat-like mouth shape along the top lip.

2
Use a sponge for faster and more even application to fill in the rest of the face with orange. Use a paint brush around the white parts to create clean lines between the orange and white. Leave the face paint until it is dry to the touch, this prevents the painting in the next step from mixing with the base we have just painted.

3
Once the base has dried use black to create a tiger nose following the natural shape at the tip of the nose. Draw a line from just under the nose down and along the top lip and part way around the white on both sides then add several dots in the white part. For the stripes start at the outline of the face and draw the stripes inwards thinning out at the ends. Repeat these stripes around the face.
Advanced tiger face Paint guide

1
Create a white triangle wth a sponge that goes from the end to part way along the eyebrow and extends to the hairline on both sides. Using the same sponge add a cat-like mouth to the top lip then with a fine paint brush add two large white fangs at either end of the bottom lip.

2
From the centre of the nose outwards apply a layer of yellow face paint with a sponge, around the border of the face apply a layer of orange face paint. Where the two colours meet blend them together by dapping a clean sponge until they merge together. You can repeat this process several times to get the intensity of colour you would like.

3
Let the paint dry then using a fine paint brush create the tiger stripes around the face. Start the stripes with a thin line that becomes thicker and then thin again, don't worry about making the stripes match and add random curves. Then colour the nose in black and paint a line that goes down the middle of the lip and around the white face paint, adding little dots onto the white lip.
