Helloo people!
Don't forget to check the video on my youtube and say hello :D
In this instructable i'm going to show how I recreated the children of the forest from Game of thrones.
This Is the Look As a Photo

Adding a Green Base
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.12.47.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F2M/RS6K/IPSKA5S8/F2MRS6KIPSKA5S8.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.12.47.png)
For the base i'm using an aquapaint. I started off with this green colour and a kabuki brush
If you swirl the kabuki brush you get an even and airbrushed effect
Adding Brown on Top of the Green
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.12.57.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FF1/881K/IPSKA5S9/FF1881KIPSKA5S9.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.12.57.png)
If you already have the perfect forest green shade, then this is not neccesary.
My green was too bright so I added a washed out brown aquapaint on top of it
Breaking Up the Texture
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.14.13.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FNQ/ZUVL/IPSKA5SA/FNQZUVLIPSKA5SA.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.14.13.png)
So the children of the forest live in the forest (obviously) which wouldn't result in a clean and flawless face.
To break up the texture i'm using a texture sponge dipped in black facepaint, and spread it across the face
Drawing the Forehead Lines
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.14.28.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FK5/UAPR/IPSKA5SC/FK5UAPRIPSKA5SC.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.14.28.png)
Using an eyeliner brush and black facepaint I'm drawing the forehead lines. Starting from the inner corner of my eyebrow and extending it to the sides of my forehead
Shading
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.14.51.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FMX/WGMN/IPSKA5T1/FMXWGMNIPSKA5T1.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.14.51.png)
To give some depth to those lines i'm taking a fluffy brush with black eyeshadow and start shading underneath them
Adding Depth
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.15.09.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FQJ/63B1/IPSKA5T2/FQJ63B1IPSKA5T2.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.15.09.png)
with the same black eyeshadow i'm drawing a V shape on the forehead to create the pattern
Highlighting
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.23.12.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FZH/Y5K5/IPSKA5T3/FZHY5K5IPSKA5T3.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.23.12.png)
To make the pattern on the forehead more noticable i'm taking a white eyeshadow and i'm putting that above the black lines on the forehead.
Darkening the Eyes
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.23.42.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FV1/FF2S/IPSKA5TP/FV1FF2SIPSKA5TP.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.23.42.png)
For this step I'm using black eyeshadow again and an eyeshadow brush. This doesn't have to be done neatly, just make sure all the areas around the eye are black too make them look dark and a bit sunken in.
Lining the Eyes
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.23.55.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FY5/JU0U/IPSKA5TQ/FY5JU0UIPSKA5TQ.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.23.55.png)
For an even darker eye effect i'm using a pencil liner to line my waterline
Drawing the Branch Pattern
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.24.04.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FZ6/2ZQQ/IPSKA5TR/FZ62ZQQIPSKA5TR.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.24.04.png)
The children seem to have a branch like pattern on the forehead and the sides of their head.
To recreate this i'm taking a liquid liner and drawing the same pattern on, also connecting with the forehead lines
Filling in the Lips
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.24.28.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F01/J4OO/IPSKA5TS/F01J4OOIPSKA5TS.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.24.28.png)
To make the lips dark i'm using a dark grey liquid lipstick
Adding Pattern to Your Neck
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.24.38.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FQW/HX37/IPSKA5TT/FQWHX37IPSKA5TT.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.24.38.png)
For this i searched up tree patterns and followed those. I'm using a really small paint brush for this step and black aquapaint
Another View of the Neck Pattern

Spray Your Hair Black
![Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.25.08.png](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FPQ/M422/IPSKA5TX/FPQM422IPSKA5TX.png&filename=Schermafbeelding 2016-06-24 om 01.25.08.png)
Or just paint it black, or use a wig. Whatever you prefer :) The children have dark hair so I just sprayed it black with black hair spray
And thats it!
You're Done!
