Giant Mask: Horror Head!

Step 9Dirty, dirty, dirty!

Dirty, dirty, dirty!
Time to add a bit of skin tone to this mothah!

For this trick, I simply applied a thin layer of dark, booger-green paint to the face, using a sponge. I used a regular Scot dish sponge, the yellow kind with the green scrubby layer on the back.

Once the booger-paint dried to a tacky consistency, I wiped away the excess with the sponge, then scrubbed it off with scrubby side!
What this does is embed the dark paint in the lowest areas, while simultaneously smearing a tiny amount of that paint over the rest of the surface. This darkens the overall tone slightly, giving a more realistic unevenness to the complexion. I repeated the process several times in some areas, only once or twice in others.

Simultaneously (or more accurately, during the times that I was waiting for the other paint to dry) I was working on repainting the eyes. My second pass found a middle ground, slightly ecstatic but more focused. The walleye quality was less distracting.
