For Mottling I use Yellow Ochre, Vein blue (very light less than what is needed for veins), purple (you can use eyelid color or creases color and add a little nail tip to lighten), and nail lips and blush color also.

All different layers.
This is how it looks all blended and done, I also used 4 different plucked cosmetic wedges.

And more than one layer right
Also all over for all colors or random. Thanks a ton
Normally I do one flesh layer first to protect the vinyl from the blue and make stripping easier if I need to strip then one layer vein blue undertoning, one layer vein blue mottling, then one layer of yellow ochre mottling, 1 layer of purple mottling, and 1 layer of nails/lips/blushing, bake, then I do another layer of flesh, veining, then a second layer of purple mottling and another layer of red mottling, bake
All over for all colors.

I am pretty new but I like mottling and would do more only because as you continue to layer the baby with flesh tones the mottling becomes less intense, at least that was my experience. My first one looked so weird after the mottling that I got scared, even though it is a vampire, but my customer (daughter) wanted the colors more intense so I had to add more. This is my first baby so…
