"What's up everybody, this is Raymond. From Crayola Kicks. I'm here with Expert Village. On this tip, we're going to be applying some brown inside a leopard pattern. Inside of the circles. To give it a more realistic leopard print. Take your round brush and brown paint. What I'm going to do is I'm going to lighten the brown this way it stands out from the black. Just a little bit more, just mix it. Make sure you mix it properly, you don't want the white streaks. You don't want to trash your sneakers. That's about right. Now we apply to our pattern. What you do now is just basically apply in the middle. You can't try to get like a thick coat, just so you don't have to go over once. There's your leopard pattern."
