Well, I decided to do an Argonian from Skyrim! It was so much fun but let me just tell you this took me FOREVER! Haha. I painted for about 6 to 7hrs. Worth it! Hope you enjoy, and please check out my youtube page Youtube.com/msmaomaoz

First

I sketched out my look with a white eyeliner. (as always)

Lines

Taking a yellow body paint (Mehron) I added a line down the center of my face then drug it to the sides where some big scales will be going.

Scales

I took a light green body paint (mixed Mehron paint in yellow, green, and white) and put it on the big scales.

Then I took a darker green body paint (mixed Mehron paint with the same colors just less white) and put it all around the scales.

After I took a lot of different shades of eyeshadow (from BH cosmetics) and shaded all over.

Eyebrow Thing?

Nose

Shadowing and Stuff
