Video Tutorial: The Grumpy Fish Face Paint Design

 

Designs with animation potential are especially fun for both children and adults we face paint. This grumpy fish should get some laughs for the person you face paint at events, just because it has such a disgruntled expression. Try out different color combinations and change the expression to fit the person in your chair.
