Painting Faces

I leave it to you if you think my efforts are worth copying. I'm far from being a 'good' painter but I like to think that most of what I turn out is respectable for wargaming standard.

My method -
1. Undercoat black.
2. Base coat face in dark red/brown - keep it quite well thinned. I use GW Doombull Brown.
3. Paint everything except eye-sockets, just under nose, a thin line between the lips and inside ears with a darker flesh colour - I use Vallejo Medium Flesh.
4. Highlight with a lighter flesh colour - I use Vallejo flat flesh.
5. Occasionally I add a little white and a further highlight on the nose, chin, forehead.

I only paint eyes on something really big, like a GW monster. Lips are a complete no-no. Highlighting OK, but trying to paint them a different colour always ends up with the smeared lipstick look for me.
