Step 1 

Step 2 

Load a damp sponge with Snazaroo Bright Red and sponge the forehead area above the eyebrow level to create a bandana.

Using a medium multi-purpose brush finish the edges of the bandana and create a knot effect at the end as shown.

Step 3 

With a fine flat brush, build up Snazaroo Black up to the edge and then outline the bandana.

Dip a stipple sponge into the Black and apply a stipple beard by dabbing against the skin. Do not rub.

Use a small triangular sponge (cut a round sponge into quarters) and create the eye patch with Snazaroo Black.

Finish details of the patch with a fine flat brush.

Step 4 

Build up Snazaroo Black on a fine round brush to get a fine point for a Captain Hook type moustache. Start the moustache each side of the mid-lip cleft.

For the final touches use a medium multi purpose brush loaded with Snazaroo White paint to add dots onto the bandana.
