As a face paint artist, have you ever looked back on your early work and compared it to your recent work? Most people will find that their artistry has greatly improved, and so in this series, we'll be comparing designs from "then" and all the way up to "now".

The best way to see your own progress is to take pictures! I always take a bunch of photos on each design I make on myself, on my family or on my friends. Sometimes I even have time for some pictures on the job.

That's why they became so popular and all children love them.
