How to make
Take the small round sponge and paint underneath their chin and nose white. Dip the sponge in a
little bit of water to get the paint to flow. Finish off edges with a fine brush to make it a little neater.
Take round sponge again and this time use yellow over the entire rest of face. Avoid the bottom of
the nose, avoid eyes. It's best to use the sponge for speed. It will help you to cover a lot of area
quickly. Neaten the edges with a fine detail brush if necessary.
Draw x4 or x5 black small spots on the white area on either side of the mouth. Draw a small black line under the space between the nose and the lips. Draw a black line and another small black line on your child's chin (this will appear to be the lion's smiley mouth). Finally, colour the black triangle of the lion's nose. Avoid the painting the nostril area.
