Take a look here at my WIP Librarian (which I tidied up a little after this pic was taken):



The issue I'm having is with the proper placement of Devlan Mud. I don't have much paint-wise for faces as I mainly paint Orks, so the only paints I have at hand ATM are Elf Skintone (VGC; Elf Flesh in GW) and the Devlan Mud wash.

How should I go about painting his face with what I have available?

There is an article on the GW website about how to paint faces such as caucasian etc and alot more although you have to sign up but that no biggie then you download the pdf

You can do this no problem with the paint you have.

Base it in elf flesh, then give it a light mud wash, talking 1:1 wash to water mix. Rehighlight with the same elf flesh, then add a small amount of white to it and add the last highlight.

A final wash of say 2:1 water to devlin will be good to blend it together, but if you have ogryn flesh or some sepia to mix into the devlin that will be the way to go.
