- 1). Visualize the image you want to paint on the face. Use the printed image you have to get an idea of the alligator you want to paint on your face.
- 2). Paint the body with a dirty green face paint color. Mix a little black with brown and add a touch of purple to it to form the green color if the cosmetic paints you have lack a dirty green color.
- 3). Stroke the paint brush starting from the upper lip, and run the brush across the cheek up to the forehead. Fashion the mouth first by painting the pointy head next to the lips -- painting the upper jaw of the alligator across the upper lip and the lower jaw near the lower lip. This will make the alligator's jaw appear to be opened at the mouth area.
- 4). Paint the body by continuing down from the head and arching the back slightly when you are at the cheek. Run the paint brush up to the forehead to make the tail of the alligator, sweeping it up at the very end.
- 5). Draw in the legs. Make the front leg and back leg in a leaf-shape, and paint a horizontal line at the end of each one to make its feet.
- 6). Paint the inner body with the green paint. Use the black paint to make the eye of the alligator. Paint the teeth across the lips with the black paint, and add white lines to it to give a more natural effect.
