Facepainting

10/09/2020

How does it look like when facepainting becomes hand-painting and leg-painting?

I admit that when I started with animation, my creations during facepainting resembled such a great disaster. I didn't know how to do it and I was scared every day when facepainting was on the program. My hands always shook unbelievably as one of the children's parents stared at me. So in the first animation season, I tried to avoid facepainting as much as I could. I didn't want the children to run away from me back to their parents crying that instead of Spiderman they only have a red face with some black spots :-).

However, during my second animation season, I said to myself that I would stand up to it and practice with the help of more experienced colleagues. Toward the end of the summer, I was surprised to find out that I was actually starting to enjoy it. I trained myself, on the parents of the children ... not even my colleagues avoided my paintings. And I admit that sometimes some bartenders or people from the staff had some facepainting from me, as is usually the case with animations :-).

Over time, I began to embark on more demanding things, and nowadays I am not afraid of even the craziest children's wishes.

How about Scrooge McDuck? Pocahontas? Bazuka? Anna and Elsa? Scorpio? Firetruck? Pikachu? Koala?

So why not? It is a challenge!
