To effectively apply the colors from the “Zombie Rot” palette for painting a zombie face, follow these steps:

1. Base Layer:
   • Start with the Pale Green ( #A8B400 ) as your base color. Use a broad brush to apply it evenly over the entire face area. This will give you a sickly, undead undertone.
2. Shading:
   • Add depth by using Moldy Gray ( #6B6E70 ) for shadow areas. Focus on the hollows of the cheeks, under the chin, around the nose, and the temples. Use a smaller brush to create more control over where you place the shadows.
3. Highlighting:
   • For highlights, incorporate Sallow Yellow ( #D1C94A ) on the high points of the face, such as the forehead, cheekbones, and the bridge of the nose. This will contrast nicely with the darker shades and enhance the sunken look of the zombie.
4. Bruises and Details:
   • Use Bruised Purple ( #59374C ) to add detail around the eyes and lips, giving a more lifelike (or undead-like) appearance. This color can also be used for small details like veins on the forehead or neck.
5. Flesh Tones:
   • Apply Rotten Flesh ( #BFA6A1 ) sparingly to areas where the skin might appear more fleshy, such as around the mouth or on the cheeks. This can help break up the pale green and add visual interest.
6. Blending:
   • Make sure to blend the colors together where they meet to avoid harsh lines, especially between shadows and highlights. Use a clean, dry brush or a sponge to gently blend the edges.
7. Finishing Touches:
   • Finally, consider adding a light glaze of the base color over some areas to unify the look or to tone down any colors that seem too stark.
8. Texture:
   • To enhance the rotten effect, consider using a stippling technique with a sponge or a textured brush to create a mottled effect on the skin.

Remember to step back frequently to evaluate your work from a distance, ensuring the colors and effects blend well together for a cohesive look. Good luck with your painting! If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
