"I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make Frankenstein's monster. With our layer of green on our volunteer, you can already see where some of the latex is showing through. That's good. It means that effect is prime and set to go. First, we're going to add some shading. We're going to start underneath the eyes where we're going to add in some black. We're going to blend this black. What are we doing here? We're basically giving Frankenstein more of a Goth look. More of a hey this guy until recently has been dead and he's only been recently brought back to life in a natural fashion. We're going to start up here and add this effect particularly underneath the eyes. I don't recommend doing over the eyes as much on Frankenstein. I like to focus underneath the eyes for Frank, but that's not the only place we're going to add in black on the face. We're also going to add in black in the hollow of the cheeks. Now, you can find the hollow of the cheeks by sucking inwards on your face. They'll be basically the little impression that you get automatically here. That's going to be where we're going to add in some more black. This is going to over emphasis the hollows of the cheeks whenever they're not sucked in and give more of gaunt against slightly dead look."
