Materials: black card stock, pencil & erasers, white acrylic paint, Crayola construction paper crayons, paper towel, paint brush, paint tray and water cup

Begin by drawing the skull, jaw, spine and shoulders. Once everything is in place, add cheek bones, eye sockets, nose, and mouth. Then decide on a hat or hair, or both. Draw those in and erase any lines we don’t need. A flower or feather can be added for fun.

Paint a very thin layer of the white acrylic paint starting from the top of the head all the way down to the spine, going carefully around hair/hat, eyes & nose.

While the paint is drying start coloring in the hair/hat then the shirt. Then move on to adding designs inside the eyes. By then the paint should be dry enough to make the mouth with gray crayon and start creating designs around the rest of the face and any accessories.
Happy Halloween !
