SPOOKY SCARECROW

Using a fine brush, create the straw by drawing short, spiky lines across the left side of the forehead and left side of the jaw using bright yellow and light brown. Apply a black circle in the middle of each cheek using black (use the cap of a glue stick to apply the black paint to recreate a ‘button’ shape). Using light brown, draw more straw strokes over the yellow for depth.

With a fine brush and dark brown, gently add a very fine patchwork of lines around the straw and smudge slightly with your finger. Using light grey, white and bright yellow, and a fine brush, draw on the button detail over the black circles, with a slightly thicker line across the tip of the button for reflection. With a fine brush, using black and grey gently add a very fine patchwork of lines around the straw and smudge slightly with your finger.

Draw in the lips with black, continuing the smile line outwards with a fine brush and adding a couple of stitches.
