Skull - the skull design must occupy the whole face. The base should be white and once you've painted the white paint, you can paint a bright red color for the lips. Make an outline of fangs on both sides of your mouth in light grey. The fill should be white and the tip should be painted in red so that it will look like blood. Use smoky grey for the eye lids and exaggerate your eye brows with sweeping strokes in black color.

Bat - make a bat design over your whole face. Just like the skull design, use white color as base.

Use different shades of black to make the body. The wings cover your eyes plus your mid-cheek. You'll be able to paint some definitions by using light grey over the wings.
