About this very thing and showed in step by step procedures. It is also in color. Call Breakthrough and ask for a back issue or they will copy the article and send it to you for a fee.

any idea what issue that would have been in, thanks
Spray everything with white, around eyes in nostrils and ears. Then i use dusty pink on bottom half of nose, in nostrils and in the ears. Then i use a brown mix and spray around eyes and very lightly in nostrils and ears to cut down on the pink color. I then spray the nose and taper off at the bottom 1/3 to let the pink show through slightly. i use a mix of black and neutral gray for that. i then spray the eye lid with dark brown. Clean paint off hair and eyeball and your good to go.
I just read part of an airbrush book, and it was old, and the one thing that was most useful, was to be sure and use thin layers of paint, let dry in between, and build up that way. Looks 100 times better than before.
And if you don't like the way it looks, take it off and do it again.
