Looking good! I’m working on my very first ethnic as well. It’s so much harder and time consuming! I am excited to see the finished product

Thank you 
I have some nice, naturally, black Suri Alpaca hair that I want to root her with. Ill have to finish up her little details and let her sit a bit (I use acrylics) before I can seal her and start rooting her…Im hoping I like her more after I put hair on her ;).
Hope to see your baby
@RebornsbyZebra I use Liquitex. I do the primary method but on the 4th layer I mix the three colors together to get the Mother Color tone I want then apply that to the baby doing a couple of layers depending on how dark I want the baby to be. I have also done the r/y/b layers twice then the Mother Color. Some people mix the three colors together from the start to get the Mother Color and use that instead of doing the colors separate. I hope I am making sense.

Funny, thats what I did but It was on the 5th layer. The mistake I made was putting in Burnt Umber. I also use Liquitex btw and I have one tube of W&N, yellow ocre, and I still have some of my Jo Sonja paints that I use and a couple bottles of LDC. So after two layers of that she was still quite dark red so I mixed up some Raw Sienna, Yellow Ocre, and a bit of Ultramarine blue, that looked nice after two more layers but I still wasn’t happy so I put a bit of pink blushing on her cheeks and then the lovely swamp green wash and now Im happy, other than the colour buildup on the top and back of her head but her hair will hide that.
Thank you for your advice and Ill try just mixing the colours together next time

I still have nightmares about melting kits. It’s happened for real two times. It has made me double check everything when I set the oven. You’ll definitely see color show up. Just don’t do what I did with my first few GHSP kits snd pverly color them. 
you can ask any questions you want and I’ll see if I can answer.
Very cute!! Great job!
I am still working on feeling confident enough to paint on a finished doll head. Its a bit more scary with acrylics because they don’t wipe off as easily as oils do. Im still working on my little Bambi practice head. My last one with prisma looked good so Ill try going over that with paint and see how I do, I hope mine can look as good as yours

Thank you. I am pretty happy with the outcome. This is the first time I managed to not give a whole bunch of hair. I need more practice but there is another Christmas present waiting on hair plus 3 more in the process of being painted and two of them will get painted hair. Hopefully I will improve with each baby…

Thank you! A month or so and I will be starting my experiment. I think I will paint a belly plate to start as a test.

Cuuuute!!!
Yes, the kit has a defect.
Somebody was asking why is she unable to get the eyes right, and I answered that kit has a problem; I was not able to match the eyes on any of those I made. If you look carefully at all the Shyanns they all have funny eyes; when they are centered in the socket, one looks in different direction to the other.
