thank you) I use Iwata CM-B airbrush and Vallejo acrilics. And I use vodka as a medium - it works perfectly! xD
I don't know easy ways to learn how to airbrush - the only way is a lot of practice) I did this face-up after about three weeks of practice, and as you can see it's imperfect - there's an overblushing under the lower lip an under the nose. The most difficult thing is stop spraying before you spray too much of paint xDD
If you just want to try yourself at face-ups I highly recommend you to start from pastels and watercolor pencils technique, because in this technique MSC works as a "save point" and lets you fix possible mistakes)
Good luck!)

Will the pastels or watercolors stain something like sculpey? So that I may try multiply times?

It will not stain) I'm not an expert in this kind of materials, but I know many doll artists who work with sculpey and sculpey-like materials, and they use pastels and watercolors for dolls make-up. It works) just make a coat of MSC and apply pastels on it.

Okay, to be honest I like this, but it is kinda' creepy to look at. The face expresses many things in such short notice. What was the main expression you were aiming for?

Thanks) I don't know what exactly to answer. I didn't try to make my doll creepy xD it's just first attempt in airbrushing, and I only wanted to make face-up based on it's previous version [link]
I think much freckles is good for this mold)
Many people think that my dolls are creepy a bit - I just don't like "cutie" and prefer my dolls to look natural and expressive.
