Step 1
Create bushy eyebrows, a moustache and small beard (along the jawline and up to the ears) using dark brown paint.
Step 2
Using black paint, put a second layer on your brown features, making sure to fill in any gaps.
Step 3
Draw an eyepatch over one eye (making sure your little one keeps it closed when doing so) and draw a line diagonally across the face to add the string.
Finally, with red paint, draw a scar line on one cheek, adding stitch lines across it with a darker colour.
Voila! Now your mini Jack Sparrow is ready to take on the high seas!
