From a Simple Plastic Animal to a Underworld Sugar Skull Creature (Elephant)

Start by Painting the Trunk of the Elephant With Gold Acrylic Metallic Paint

Then Paint the Rest of the Body With Black Acrylic Paint

Then Make a Circle Around the Eyes With Silver Acrylic Paint

Then Draw the Teeth and the Jaw Bone

Then Draw the Rest of the Elephant Skull

For a stronger effect keep adding layers of paint creating a thick and irregular texture.

Now Draw the Ribs

Try to draw organic shapes from small to large. Is always good to look as reference a real elephant skeleton.

Then Draw the Bones of the Legs.

Then Decorate As You Wish With Red and Yellow Acrilic Paint

I drew a rose on the front of the skull and dots around the eyes. I also glued a fabric flower behind one of the ears.

As a Last Step I Painted the Elephant Tusk With Glow in the Dark Reflective Acrylic Paint

And you're all done!
