How To Draw A Football / Soccer Ball [Face Painting Tutorial]

A simple tutorial on how to draw a football (or soccer ball) using face paint. I also included a few ideas on how to incorporate a soccer ball into a custom design.

You can use this design for world cup events, birthday parties or other things.

It might take you a while to get the pentagon right, but be patient. You can always adjust it. It’s not a big deal if the shape turns out a little bigger than it did in this example.

If you think you messed up the ball big time, you can either use either cotton swabs to remove black paint or remove it all together. A white circle is made again quickly :)

By the way, the flag I painted in the end is the national flag of Colombia. I dedicated this video to a Colombian friend who supports me a lot in posting these videos. Thank you!

I hope you enjoy watching this tutorial, and that it is easy for you to follow :)
