An airbrush \'would\' help.... But... Here is something that might help.
Take a \'chip brush\', the kind you buy at Home Depot for about 50 cents. Take your flesh, brown and red on your pallette. Take the brush and pat it in the flesh and put a thin layer of flesh on the mask. Then, without cleaning the brush pat it in the brown now pat pat pat the mask. It will add a pretty nice stipple effect. Now a little, just a little, red. You want the colors to bleed together just a bid so its not so harsh.... You can get a cool effect without being a \'skilled\' artist or painter. The lips, well, just dont make such a harsh line of color. Wet paints blend nicely together so blend the flesh into the lips a bit...
The blood.... Red, black and a bit of red food coloring. You WILL need to seal it when finished. Take a toothbrush and splatter some on there also. Might help.
Oh, and stuff the mask if its laying flat... Looks a little silly :wink:
