Step 1

A child with their face painted with white fangs and drips of blood

Using white face paint on the brush, draw a fang on each side of the bottom lip. Clean your brush, and then with red face paint, add some drips of blood from each fang. Carefully paint the lips red and add a red line from the outer corner of each eye.

Step 2

With the black face paint, draw exaggerated eyebrows on top of your child's eyebrows, and an upturned triangle at the hairline. Then carefully outline each fang with a black line.
