Apply white paint with a wide brush to the areas between the nose and upper lip. Paint the tip of the nose with a black brush, then draw a strip to the upper lip, circle it and round it up. We got cheeks! We can apply dots and antennae on them. We paint the bridge of the nose white and shade it a little so that there are no sharp borders.

The basic base is ready, now we can draw several animals with their own distinctive features.

Kitty

Any color is suitable for it (in our case, blue). We apply paint on the face along the contour, without capturing the eyes, draw the ears above the eyebrows. Now we will draw a red tongue on the lower lip, and with black emphasize the fur and ears. The eyes were not captured on purpose, as in some children, this area of  the body is very sensitive and should not be painted on.

Little hare

What is the most important characteristic of a hare? Right, teeth, so let’s draw them on the lower lip. Let’s draw a white rectangle. We mark the teeth in black, draw a butterfly-shaped contour (where its “wings” will be the ears of a bunny) and paint over (everything except the cheeks). Draw the fur using black paint and a thin brush. Now cover the cheeks with white paint and blend a little with a sponge.

You can think of the characteristic features of animals yourself: for example, a mouse has a gray color, small teeth and a small tongue, a lynx will look like a cat, only orange, and there will be tassels on the ears, etc.
