What You Will Need
You need: blue, red, green, white, yellow and gold paint (if you can get some); a black and a red pencil; brush; sponge.

1 - With the black pencil, draw arched eyebrows and stretch them out to your temples. Draw a black line above your eye, and below.	2 - Continue these lines out to the side of your face in a fish tail shape. Draw another black line underneath - follow the design shown.	3 - Use the brush to fill in the fish tail in white, and draw white line under the black swirl on your cheekbones.	4 - With the black pencil, draw triangles on your eyelids. Paint them in yellow, red, blue and green - make up your own pattern.

5 - In the middle of these triangles paint little white dots. Redraw your lips with the red pencil.	6 - Cover the rest of your face with yellow paint, using your fingers or the damp sponge. Avoid the areas you have already painted.	7 - If you do not have long black hair, find a black wig or make one from black wool. Then draw and paint an exotic collar, like the one shown - or your own design
