Glowing eyed portraits

All Posts, Halloween, Kids

  GLowing eyed portraitsTake any print or photo and transform them into Glowing Eyed Portraits in one simple step.  It’s so easy and super cool!

When you look at these pictures straight on, they look normal.

But check out what happens when you tilt them so they reflect some light!

Here’s how to do it:


1.  Print a photo of yourself or an old portrait off the web (I tweaked the color to make it spooky).
2.  Use a silver gel pen to lightly color in the eyes.  You can also draw fangs if you feel so inclined.
Draw lightly so you don’t make indentations.

    Ooo, I like them. Spooky! Very cool and so simple. Reminds me of the Haunted Mansion at Disney World. Those are really cool old portraits, too.

    What a clever and easy project. I bought some like this that were quite expensive at a fun boutique at Thanksgiving Point. This is great because you could do a gallery of them and it wouldn't cost much.
