the friend really wanted a pair of alice in wonderland shoes so i made these for her really hope she likes them! this project is a little tricky as its a tiny detail your trying to paint and my friend has the foot of a fairy! tiny! just dont forget to varnish! i use a spray as its less streaky than the paint varnish. all supplies can be bought in a local craft or games workshop :)

again start out with a plain black shoe, be it one you have already or a pair you bought, you can pick up a pair of plain black shoes for half nothing now :D
start by painting the face, i used warlock purple and white. if you can get the shade you want in the paints do that, its messy and streaky mixing them i was having a lazy day and didnt want to go to the shop to buy the paint thats why i mixed lol
paint a light purple over the face and add little wisps either now or when your finished :) make sure to go around the cheeks too
you can go a bit darker with your purples around the body. if your using the cidadel paints and make a mistake just wait for it to dry and paint over. they are really durable paints and very easy to work with
while thats drying, paint in a little detail in the face. i used black paint to do the outline, dont use pen or maker as it will either fade or smudge when it connects with the paint
so when your finished the face it should look a bit like this :D
with its all dried paint in your warlock purple and outline it with black paint. you should need 2 layers for the purple. make sure not to paint over the tail :D
paint the tail a shade darker than your purple(just add black) and outline with black paint. go around the lip of the shoe with black as well because its bound to get specks of paint on them.
this is the final result. hope your like my tutorial :D will have more soon
