Drybrush the 'dirt' onto him. Get black or dark paint on your brush, wipe the brush on a napkin so that only a little bit of paint remains on the brush, and brush the paint onto BB. Test it out on a junk toy before.

See that area behind your house? That's the backyard. It is LOADED with dirt.
Get a shovel and get crackin'.

Easiest thing to do is to take a Sharpie, draw a line under the area you want to smudge, and use your finger to smudge the ink. Apply some sealer and it should be permanent.

Mine isn't, it's all concreted. So,
nyeeeeeer!

But yeah, I'd say drybrushing is the way forwards.
