The brindle pattern on a pitbull - or any dog - can be really challenging to paint. But I'm lazy, so I painted the brindle spot on my pitbull mask the easy way, with just four colors and a wispy brush that makes a lot of fur marks with each stroke. I think he came out really nice - but maybe that's because he reminds me so much of my mother's old dog, Toka.
If you'd like to make a paper mache pitbull mask, with or without a big spot over his eye, you can find my new pattern here: UltimatePaperMache.com/pitbull-mask
If you'd like to watch the video I mentioned, with 5 Easy Tips for Smooth Paper Mache, you can find it here: youtu.be/sjllW9Xpkow
And that wispy brush I used to make all those fur marks came from amazon.com. You can find it here (affiliate link, of course): amzn.to/476EAIa
You can also find patterns for all the critters behind me in the video, and many more, at UltimatePaperMache.com/patterns

![Self-Published Authors - Has Your Book Been Stolen? [Pirated Books On Amazon]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ugSa5BdII3o/mqdefault.jpg "Self-Published Authors - Has Your Book Been Stolen? [Pirated Books On Amazon]
Yes, its true - there are a lot of pirated books on Amazon.com. The copyright infringement form can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement
The form asks if you bought the stolen work to make sure its a pirated work, and I did that the first time. But since then I just say I didnt buy it, because you can tell that its stolen content by using their search inside the book feature.
And they do take the stolen books off their site within a few days of receiving the form. Unfortunately, the bad guys will just put it back on Amazon in a week or two, so you have to keep checking, and filling out the form.
