Children's holiday - a colorful and vibrant event. The best way to create the necessary atmosphere - face painting. Drawings on the face with 100% probability like any child.
Do not think that it fits only the smallest. If the drawing is of high quality and corresponds to the theme of the holiday, even a teenager will not give up such an original element of the “costume”.
How can you draw pictures on children's faces?
Children's skin is very delicate and easily susceptible to allergic reactions, therefore the use of any means is unacceptable. Even if the child of the neighbor / girlfriend is all right, there is no guarantee that your child will go the same way. Prefer natural materials.
- Art brushes from natural nap. Synthetic causes rash and irritation. In addition, the texture of synthetic materials itself is coarse and leaves microscopic damage on delicate skin.
- Cosmetic sponges for a make-up. If they are not - cotton pads. They are not so evenly applied paint, but better with them than rubbing with a finger.
- Decorative cosmetics. Touche, pencils, lipstick, rouge and shadows of any color. It is better and safer than ordinary stationery paints, but it is desirable to avoid their use, especially in young children (kindergarten).
- Special water-based markers.
- Face painting Technological and safe method. Water-based paints are completely harmless to children's skin. Even if the child is forgotten and eats paint, nothing will happen to him.
- Food colorings. The alternative is when there is nothing in the shops, but it’s scary to draw gouache. Absolutely harmless.
Additional material - wet and dry wipes. It will be necessary in the process of applying paint to wipe brushes and wipe the drawing.
If the pattern is large-scale, it is recommended to apply a base and apply a tone for it. Sometimes, even for small pictures, a tone is needed in order to create a contrast. Basis, it is usually a baby cream. It is smeared and allowed to soak in order to avoid the negative effect of certain colors on the skin.
Always check for an allergic reaction. Apply a paint / felt-tip pen to the inside of the wrist and observe the reaction for an hour.
If there is no scabies, rashes, redness, burning, any discomfort - apply to the face. Even specialized materials can, individually, cause allergies.
How to make drawings on the face for children: general tips
Body art on a child has one distinctive feature - the restlessness of the model. It is not difficult for an adult not to blink, look at one point and not wiggle for a certain time. A child does not possess such talents.
The limit is 5-7 minutes. At the same time, the crumb must be in a certain "setting" - there should be no temptations around, provoking squirming, twitching and other manifestations of mobility.
Put a large mirror. Children with great pleasure and enthusiasm watching overlaying makeup. They are so absorbed in the exercise that they may not even notice the cake being carried to the table (but it is better not to risk it).
If you are not a professional artist, do not try to paint a masterpiece. You will spend time, get tired yourself, disappoint and tire the child.
Baby for happiness will be quite small. If the drawing must necessarily be gorgeous - train in advance so that the picture is drawn with eyes closed for the holiday. First try on yourself, and then bring to perfection on the child.
Paints for makeup do it yourself
Make safe paints yourself. You will need:
- baby cream;
- food colorings;
- starch.
Proportions for one color. For each color knead again.
- Mix starch (3 tbsp.) + Water (1 tsp.) + Cream (1 tsp.).
- Add a dye to the mixture drop by drop, stirring until the color of the desired saturation is obtained. To obtain a particular shade mixed several colors.
Simple drawings on the face: ideas for girls and boys
First ask the child! Body art is done for him and he should like it! If the kid himself can not choose - be modern and smart parents. Find out what kids are interested in in his company.
Believe me, the baby will be hurt and embarrassed to come to the holiday with a squirrel face, when everyone else will be in the images of Hellow Kity and Spiderman. Keep up with the times and fashion.
Popular themes:
- Animals Cats, butterflies and squirrels for girls and dogs, bunnies for boys.
- Cartoon characters. Mermaids, Fairies for girls, Super heroes for boys (Spiderman, Iron Man, etc.).
- Thematic drawings. On Halloween Skeletons, Witches; New Year's Eve, snowmen and snowflakes; water holidays - mermaids and water.
- Pirates are popular and appropriate at any event, for both boys and girls.
- Princesses and robbers.
If a costume is needed at a holiday, it can either be supplemented with body art, or you can make body art as the basis and finish the image with a couple of strokes. For example, Pirate - draw a pair of scars, a beard, a "patch" on the eye, make a paper hat and give a plastic saber from the nearest store (you can watch a cocked hat, it will last longer).
The image is ready. With girls and even easier - colorful butterfly on the face and a fluffy skirt on the dress. And do not have any wings behind his back, which interfere with running and cling to everything.
How to draw a light picture on the face of the child with his hands
As examples, take one picture for each method.
General instructions:
- Remove hair from your face - tie it in a tail and put on a hoop.
- Apply base and tone (if needed).
- Draw contours.
- Fill in the color of the main large elements of the picture.
- Finish small details.
Paints
Draw a kitten. You will need 2 brushes - flat with a rounded tip and a thin cone-shaped. The tone is not needed, since the drawing is not large and consists of small strokes. The colors are matched to the dress. After applying the layer, let it dry before applying the second.
Description of technology with step by step photos:
- Use a flat brush to apply the main scale elements with white paint - eyebrows and mustaches. Watch for symmetry!
- Apply stroke and outline elements with white paint with a thin brush.
- For contrast, apply a brown color over the edge of the white parts with a thin brush.
- Draw a nose and a mustache. Use a flat brush to draw a bow. The color is selected under the suit (dress). With the edge of a flat brush, draw a "bang" in white.
- Circle the contours of the bow and bangs with a thin brush with brown paint. Apply glitter on selected areas (optional).
Pencil
Need special pencils for akvagrim. Applying them is somewhat inconvenient - for clear lines, the skin should be strongly tensioned. Thin lines do not work. Pencils are used for quick and easy drawing. It is not necessary to tint and impose a foundation, when using specialized pencils. At the heart of the figure - symmetry.
Draw a tiger cub:
- Black pencil draw the basic contours - "ears" and eye rims.
- Fill the “ears” area, upper eyelid and the area around the mouth (“muzzle”) with white color. Apply a base color (yellow or orange) to the remaining areas of the face.
- Complete the image by drawing spots on the forehead (put a dot and roll the pencil), nose, mustache and stripes on the cheeks.
Face painting
It is convenient and pleasant to draw with face painting. The drying time of the layers is significantly reduced. Apply gently and evenly. Symmetry does not need to comply. The area of drawing the picture is small, so you do not need to impose a tone and a base.
Draw a dog:
- Let's start with the spot. Color - brown (any peculiar to dogs). The child must close his eyes. A “blob” is drawn on one of the eyes (left, in this case). The entire space inside the contour is filled, up to the line of eyelash growth. Borders are not smooth, curves. The top edge grasps the brow line. Chaotically place another 3-4 specks on the dog's face. Do not overdo it, avoid nalapistosti.
- Black paint with a flat brush, draw a spout. Black paint, thin brush, draw a strip from the nose to the upper lip strictly in the center. Draw a black paint, flat, not wide brush lower lip, slightly going beyond the edges on the sides. Thin, cone-shaped brush, black paint, put 3 dots under the mustache on both sides of the strip and draw a mustache.
- Draw the language. With a wide flat brush, pink paint, bring out an elongated oval. Then, with a thin, cone-shaped brush, red paint, circle the outline and draw a strip in the center. Done!
Why you should not paint with watercolor or gouache
Office paints contain chemical elements. The skin on the face is very tender and sensitive. The simplest thing a regular paint can do is not letting your skin breathe. The worst is allergy. Up to rash, redness and scabies.
The price of drawings for children by professionals
If you order the services of masters, it is best to do it on a mass holiday, since the payment of a professional is hourly. On average, the cost of one hour of work is 400 rubles. And this is based on the fact that 5-7 minutes are spent on one person. As a rule, professional paints for body art are used, but there are exceptions. If you are not sure, ask for documentation.
