-wathered down dark flesh wash
-1st highlight tanned flesh
-2nd dwarf flesh
-3th elf flesh
-mix of bleached bone and regal blue wash in eye sockets
-mix of bleached bone and red gore wash in mouth area
-final highlight with bleached bone ----> set tone of face how strong this highlight is
then the eyes , start with black in eye socket
-then make a small white eye
-then finally the black dot for the eye
you can do some more detail with painting the teeth bleached bone first and highlight with white
if it's a male model you can give him a unshaven look , by adding some grey tones on he's chin
