Drop them over your pupils to give your eyeballs\u00a0a\u00a0beaming, battery-powered glow. Even better, find a photo where your face is in the shadows and center\u00a0your lens flare to create an android cyclops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pa-embeded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn66.picsart.com\/192903434004202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"\" data-id=\"192903434004202\" \/><script src=\"\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.1.0\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Vampire_Wings\">Vampire Wings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/go.picsart.com\/f1Fc\/za6ZipuTMx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">After Dark clipart<\/a>\u00a0pack is a must-have for any spooktacular toolbox. Grab the bat wings\u00a0and place them\u00a0so that the wings line up with your shoulder, then erase the parts that overlap with your body. You can also brush the Seafoam Effect on your skin for that pale, undead look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pa-embeded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn119.picsart.com\/214383336004201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"\" data-id=\"192903434004202\" \/><script src=\"\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.1.0\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Draw_the_Devil_Within\">Draw the Devil Within<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a few strokes of red in\u00a0PicsArt&#8217;s Drawing Tools, you can create something diabolically awesome. The devil is in the details, and something as simple as pointed black claws can be surprisingly potent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pa-embeded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn113.picsart.com\/214738810005202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"\" data-id=\"214738810005202\" \/><script src=\"\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.1.0\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Blur_of_Madness\">The Blur of Madness<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Motion Blur to create an apparition out of a haunted mental hospital. The Motion Blur Effect creates these creepy streaks that invoke a sense of insanity, and you can brush them on or off for effect. To sell the illusion, choose a portrait where your subject is striking a slightly anguished pose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pa-embeded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn63.picsart.com\/183648211001202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"\" data-id=\"183648211001202\" \/><script src=\"\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.1.0\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Alien_Skin\">Alien Skin<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your martian on with the Color Replace Effect or the Hue Effect, both of which can be used to transform the color of targeted areas. Color Replace lets you tap an area and select a color. Hue shifts all the colors, so you can just pull the slider until your skin is the color you want, then erase the effect off of everywhere else. Watch rosy pink skin glow with a new radioactive green!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pa-embeded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn118.picsart.com\/213979484001202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"\" data-id=\"213979484001202\" \/><script src=\"\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.1.0\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Ghost_Body\">Ghost Body<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ditch your body and become a ghost! The PicsArt camera does this automatically with the Ghost Effect, but you can also get great results manually. Just take two photos from the same angle; one laying down, and one sitting up. Import your sitting shot with the Add Photo Tool, erase the background, reduce the opacity and presto! You\u2019re a spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pa-embeded-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn119.picsart.com\/214383296000201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"\" data-id=\"214383296000201\" \/><script src=\"\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.1.0\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Mr_or_Mrs_Skellington\">Mr. or Mrs. Skellington <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give yourself a skeletal makeover inspired by Tim Burton\u2019s \u201cThe Nightmare Before Christmas.\u201d Paint over your skin with a white brush in Draw and reduce the opacity to give your skin a pale bone color.
