What’s the best way to apply the flesh tones to a H1 mask, and the ideal colour to use?
I’m no expert in painting masks, but what I’ve seen others do is paint the whole mask flesh tone, as though it were the Kirk mask, then paint white over it, leaving a strip of flesh tone on the neck under the chin. This is a very accurate way doing it, as they did on the original mask. The other option would be to just simply paint a strip of flesh tone to the neck without painting the entire mask. As for the best color to use, I have no idea.
Raw sienna mixed with a little bit of white works really well for flesh tone on a Myers mask.
I use acryllic paints, the color is terra-cotta the color of those red flowerpots, I start with that and add a few drops of regular flestone to lighten it
Just don’t make it overly red. That always looks off.
