Venom Bodypainting - Step by Step

Products used - Mehron Paradise AQ Cake Makeup in colours..
- Black
- White
- Dark Pink
- Purple
- Light Green
- Light Blue

Step 1 Using a white eyeliner pencil draw on your outline. For Venom the basics are eyes, open mouth, with sharp teeth and a long tongue. As well as a spider logo on the chest.

Step 2
Fill in the lighter colours first, using the white for the teeth and eyes and the dark pink for the tongue and gums.

Step 3
Outline what you've done so far using the black.

Step 4
Fill in the empty spaces in black. Going back to the white eyeliner pencil, draw on the spider logo.

Step 5
Outline the spider and fill in the empty spaces using the black. I then added a bit of shading to the tongue and gums using purple. You can also add a bit of grey shading to the teeth by mixing the white and black together. I also added a few speckles of light green and light blue on the tongue and mouth.

Step 6
Stand against a black background to get the full effect of the bodypaint and finished character.

Makeup - Venom Bodypaint

I've seen a lot of this bodypainting done by different people, so I thought I'd give it a go myself! Venom is a character in the Spiderman series published by Marvel comics and is a parasite that requires a living 'host' (usually a human body) to take the form of and survive.

I took pictures as I went about creating this look, so I shall post up a 'step by step' a bit later on! It looks impressive as a whole, but is relatively easy to recreate.
