The fuzzy texture of the skin can make getting a consistent colour a little challenging. At any point you can simply glaze an area with a previously used paint, like we did in the second step. This will help level things out, but keep the texture. Additionally, if the skin starts to look too chalky, glazes of a pink (like Pink Horror can help bring back life in recesses and shaded areas.
