What Supplies Do I Need?
You will need to find a stone to paint. This can be a stone in the garden or you could purchase stones from a garden centre or Amazon. I love that you can buy smooth stones from Amazon. For my stone I used one a friend had given me from her garden.
To paint the stone you can use acrylic paint and a paintbrush or you opt to use Posca marker paint pens. I prefer posca pens as they are much easier for me and my daughter likes them too.

- Step 3: Use the red paint pens to color in and create the bat collar.

- Step 5: Now color the face using a flesh toned posca pen. You may want to use a purple pen.

💡 Pro Tip: Add a narrow strip of black paper along the shoulders for a jacket effect—it breaks up the costume and gives extra contrast beneath the cape.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Cape Attachment: Glue the cape just under the arms and gently fold it outward—this keeps it secure while adding volume and a more dramatic silhouette.
- Facial Features: Use ultra-fine markers and outline lightly first to avoid crooked expressions or smudges that can distort the vampire's iconic facial look.
- Hair Detailing: Cut the hair with inward swoops along the sides to match a widow’s peak style and frame the head with sharper, more stylized edges.
- Collar Construction: Fold the collar corners diagonally and outward to keep them lifted—this helps create a distinct layered effect behind the vampire’s head.
- Fang Placement: Space the fangs slightly apart below the mouth to maintain character expression while leaving room for a smile or other small details.
- Eye Alignment: Position eyes level with the top third of the face for better symmetry and to avoid crowding the nose or hairline areas unintentionally.
