Panda-tastic!

I get messed up after painting for a while and if I start talking to someone, forget it. Speaking of Pandas, I am incredibly tempted to grab a couple friends and my little girl and head to see Kung Foo Panda, painted like a panda! Business cards in my pocket of course.

The weirdest one Ive had besides easy to paint weird ones like tape measure, sneakers, earthworm etc was a little girl about 4yrs come up and says with the cutest smile- I would like a yellow bellied macaw with a pink bow on my cheek please.
my mouth drops and I just look stupidly. What the heck WAS a macaw?! I know now its a bird and I can totally paint one now incase this ever happens again. lol

I have never painted a panda nor been asked for one till a few weeks ago, lucky for me there is a mask a paper mask I found that looked easy to translate to facepaint I have in my idea book for those that don't want what's on my choice board ...so my first Panda

Shandi, this is adorable!

awww so sweet!! this is a very cute panda!
I have done that before to!! using eye masks from oriental trading mostly to incoroporate into facepaints. ive gotten loads of halloween images and dinosaurs that way.

i can share it it's a copyright free picture

Cute Panda, I like your ears. They are more playful than mine. Also, great idea on the bottom lip being painted black, it would pull the whole face together.I also think i am going to go a little farther up with the black to hide the bridge of my nose a bit more next time.
Thanks guys

sooo have done the no white eye's on spider man lol. one little thing extra i have seen others do on a panda is paint a stick of bamboo coming out of it's mouth. looks soooo cute, haven't been asked for a panda yet

I agree google is the way to go. I stopped buying books and save money now. Agree very cute panda : )

That's an awesome idea! I took my kids to see Kung Fu Panda 2, and why didn't I think of that? I could have painted myself as panda, my daughter as tigress, and my little boy as the monkey! Dang! Oh well...next time!

I have painted a lot like pandas for WWF's pandaclub. Here is one (sleepy) of them:


On my facebook page there is also polar bears on the next pictures and one with me as a panda on the way home. Funny seeing peoples reaction *lol*

Haven't we all done the Spiderman-forgetting-the-eyes thing? I even did it one time while there was a photographer from the paper taking pictures. And talking! I blame it on that I don't normally paint that design

I too have been asked for a panda and I couldnt stop shaking cos Id never done one before it probs looked crap but it was deffo an experience, I was also asked to do a chameleon (spelling lol) and didnt have a clue i also did the american flag the wrong way round but the child was happy cos it was the right way when i showed him im the mirror

Cute Pandas everyone, here is my panda, I'm putting together a board of chibi inspired characters, because they are fast and cute, simple lines.
