Step 1: Build up muzzle area first to start your dog face paint design

I started by sponging the square-shaped muzzle with white, extending up onto the forehead. I then covered the eyes and under-eye area with gold.

I then blended the white and gold on the forehead a little with the gold-loaded sponge (without adding more paint).

Tip: The pointed end of a petal sponge is the perfect shape to fill the gap between the muzzle and the eye.

 

Step 2: Define the face shape

I created the shape of the head with a narrow band of brown using the rounded tip of the sponge.

I made sure that both the top and bottom halves of the head meet at the outer corners of the eye and that the top of the head is slightly conical.

Using the sponge previously loaded with gold color, I then blended out the brown and gold.

Tip: Using glycerine-based gold makes blending easier. 

 

Step 3: Create the ears

For each ear, I started by making 2 parallel lines of equal length to mark the inner and outer edges of the ear. This was done by dragging the sponge with the brown paint.

I then joined the 2 lines across the top and made the outer line wider to represent the flipped-over-ear.

Tip: Try making the inner ear line at 45 degrees from the horizontal the dog will look happy and relaxed, rather than surprised (which happens when the ears are too vertical!).

Step 4: Add some color

I sponged pink for the inside of the ears of the dog face paint design and then with quite a dry sponge I added some black patches for interest.

Alternatively, you can use either glycerine- based black or metallic black for the patches. These are not so dark and are easier to apply with a sponge than waxy black.

 

Step 5: Outline the design

Next, I outlined all the features, starting with the muzzle, followed by the ears and finally the fur.

 

Step 6: Dog face paint extas

To add interest and flow to the dog face paint design I decided to place a few black spots on the cheek focal points, (directing them downwards towards the mouth) and on the forehead (directed towards the central focal point).

As the eyebrows are covered by paint in this design I enhanced the eye area with curved lines and the eyebrows running from the outer to inner eye focal points.

Tip: To easily make dots of different shapes, place the tip of a well-loaded brush on the skin, then press down firmly. Varying the weight gives you different-shaped spots.

 

Step 7: Add the highlights

To really make the dog design pop out I lastly added white highlights to areas that would catch the most natural light if it was a sunny day.
