Rounded forms express a sweet, gentle character (a little bear's face, apple cheeks, a ladybird), whereas pointed, sharp lines (a witch, a werewolf) give a dangerous and mean impression.
Grimas Water Make-Up (Pure) can be used around the eyes, but children often do not like it when brushes are so close to the eyes. So decide yourself how far you want to extend the colour. When working under the eyes, have your model look upwards - only with the eyes, without moving the head. If you work above the eyes (eyelid), have your model close his/her eyes in a relaxed manner. Children are inclined to shut their eyes tight. Then you can say: keep your eyes closed as if you are sleeping.
Colour the entire tip of the nose and nostrils with a dark colour. Draw a line down from the middle of the nose (between the nostrils) to the upper lip. This line gets wider as you get towards the upper lip and you then draw it along the upper lip to the corners of the mouth.
When working with Water Make-up preferably use separate brushes for light and dark colours. If you do not want the colours to mix, be sure to wait for the first layer to dry before applying another colour over it or up against it.
Hint: Regularly change the water you rinse your brushes in and preferably work with two water bowls: one for light and one for dark shades.
Draw the snout with teeth on top of the closed mouth. This is how without even moving a muscle a furious impression is evoked.
