Cheshire cat mouth stencil for Halloween

8:34 PM

Many people think they cannot draw something at all.
That's actually not true but people afraid to try thinking it will be awful thing.

This tutorial is for those of you who think their hands grow not from the shoulders.

Cheshire cat!
Isn't this little bastard adorable?

I'll show you 3 cat mouth stencils and describe how to use them.



At first full your eyelids with purple/green/blue eyeshadow, black eyeliner, mascara and false lashes (optional). You can also add a nose which has very easy shape as you can see on the first photo.

After that the magic can begin...

You need:
1. clear plastic sheet
2. marker or eyeliner or pencil that can draw on plastic
3. scissors
4. makeup sponge
5. gouache or bodypaint(which is best solution) or black eyeshadow
6. black and white lip/eye pencil



I've measured my mouth length and extended it for Cheshires smile. I've took ~6.3 inches or 16cm.
Then I've measured the width in a center which is ~1.57 inches or 4cm.

With a help of Photoshop I've created the "stencil" for a first and easiest smile
You can open the image in a new tab, print it on 1/3 (vertical) of A4 paper sheet and use as a pattern.
After that I've transfered the pattern on a clear plastic sheet with NARS black eye pencil.

And then I've just cut it out of a sheet


Using this stencil you can create a Cheshires smile by simply attach the "smile" to you mouth and tap all the open area with a sponge in a black gouash or wet black eyeshadow or (which is really the best) in black bodypaint. Or you can use the countour of a stencil to draw the approximate smile and fill it however you like.
Then paint your 'teeth' in white with lip/eye pencil or white bodypaint. And countour everything with black pencil(eyeliner/bodypaint/bodymarker) and the smile is done!

The second and third stencils are pretty much the same to the first one so I'll just leave a pattern and my result on plastic for them.


This looks like more 'smiley' cat and you can be creative with tips of his smile creating whatever you like


This is a bit asymmetrical classic Cheshire smile from the movie.
