- Using the sponge, paint a rounded rectangle over the eyes and nose area with red face paint. Do not bring the paint too close to your eyes. Using the thin brush, paint an outline around the red rectangle in black paint.
- Then, using the medium brush in black paint, paint a semicircle on the rectangle and fill it. This should be centered above the nose and span the middle third of the length of the rectangle. This is the oneLadybug head.
- Using the small brush and black paint, start at the bottom outline in the middle of the rectangle (above the nose) and paint a small triangle over the red paint. Fill it in with black paint.
- Using the same brush and color, paint a similar triangle on the opposite side of the rectangle over the red color. This triangle connects to the top outline in the middle of the rectangle (on the forehead), but is upside down and pointing down towards the nose. This triangle should be the same height as the triangle on the bottom of the rectangle, but much wider. Make this triangle as wide as the semicircle above it and fill it in. The final effect will be a black shape that is half circular at the top and half diamond at the bottom.
- Again, using a thin brush, paint a straight line down the middle of the nose with black face paint. This will connect the tip of the top black triangle to the tip of the bottom black triangle.

- Finally, using the same brush and paint, add two antennae on the ladybug's head by painting two swirls that run up and out from the semicircle at the top of the design.
