This is not a topic that can be taught in a paragraph or two, this requires a book or a complete tutorial. Here is a link to some tutorials;

There are many more on several other modeling sites as well. I might recommend Osprey’s Modelling Manual #9; Modelling WWII Figures as a good book to start with. ISBN: 1-84176-137-0.

Another excellent reference/tutorial is Shep Paines book on building dioramas. It covers the basics of painting faces very well. I think the second edition is still available.
