When applying colors to a model’s face, especially for a zombie theme, consider the following steps:

1. Preparation:
   • Start with a clean and dry surface. If you’re using a base coat, apply a primer suitable for the material of your model.
2. Base Layer:
   • Use a light application of the Pale Green ( #A8CBA0 ) to create a base skin tone. You can use a sponge or a brush to apply it evenly, covering the entire face.
3. Shading and Depth:
   • Apply the Rotten Flesh ( #8B5A2B ) in areas where shadows naturally fall, such as under the cheekbones, around the nose, and under the jawline. This will add depth to the face.
   • Blend this color gently into the pale green base to create a natural gradient.
4. Adding Gray Tones:
   • Use the Moldy Gray ( #7F7F7F ) for further shading. Apply it sparingly to areas that need more shadow, such as the temples and around the eyes.
5. Highlighting:
   • For highlights, use the Dead White ( #F2F2F2 ) on the high points of the face, like the forehead and cheekbones. This will give a sickly, undead glow.
6. Details and Accents:
   • Use the Blood Red ( #8A1B1B ) for any wounds, cuts, or blood effects. Apply it carefully around the mouth or on any exposed areas of flesh to create a dramatic effect.
   • You might also want to add some darker reds or browns for bruising around the wounds.
7. Finishing Touches:
   • Once the paint is dry, you can add any final touches, such as gloss finishes on the blood for realism.
   • Consider using a setting spray to protect your paint job and enhance the durability of the finish.
8. Experiment:
   • Don’t hesitate to experiment with mixtures of your colors to achieve the desired effect. Layering different shades can create a more realistic appearance.
