Face painters often amaze those who watch them when they are hard at work at a local fundraiser. It is common to be thrilled and amazed at how quickly and easily the blank faces turn into master pieces. It is so easy that it is common for you to try your hand at the art yourself. You may of gone as far as to of bought your brushes and colors but simply do not know what to actually paint. Fear not, there are hundreds of resources and help out there to get you started face painting in no time.

First thing to look for is a simple face painting design in a toddler's painting book. The elementary coloring book will have very simple designs. You may have to use your imagination a little as the book will give little help in transforming it into a design for the face.

You can start practicing the simple designs on paper or on your hand but once you are sure that you can pull it off then try the same design on the face of the child. Don't worry if it does not look like a professionals work, the child whose face has been painted would just be happy for the effort you are taking.

Another place to look for face painting designs is the books that are available exclusively for face painting. There are hundreds of books available which will give you different designs and ideas. They will also provide a detailed step by step guide to paint that design. All you have to do is to follow instructions.

You can get design inspiration for face painting almost everywhere, you just have to look. You will find plenty of designs online as well as there are many dedicated sites for face painting. The most common and popular designs are tiger, princess, bunny, dog, butterfly, Spiderman, monster, Spiderman, pirates and skull.

I recommend you learn 10-15 designs first and ensure you can paint them well. Once you feel happy with these designs you can go on to paint harder, more intricate designs. Practicing will ensure you perfect your skills but always have fun face painting.
