Bringing Your Baby Doll to Life - Part 4

Welcome back! Today I'm sharing more pictures of Kaylee, my current baby doll in progress. I apologize for the photo quality. I am saving up for a good camera. I hope you still find the posts and photos to be helpful.

After baking the first blush layer, let the parts cool completely. For the next step, we'll be adding the second layer of foundation paint. Lightly moisten the end of your cosmetic foam wedge with odorless thinner (I use the Mona Lisa brand). With a 1/2 inch Maxine's Mop, apply a dot of Flesh 07 and a dot of Flesh 08 to the sponge.

With an up and down pouncing motion, apply the paint to the doll, reloading the sponge when needed. Try not to over-blend the colors.

Apply the second foundation layer using Flesh 07 and Flesh 08.

 

 

Bake the parts at 265 degrees Fahrenheit or 130 degrees Celsius. Allow parts to cool completely before continuing.

Next, we use our blush color mix to apply blushing details to the head and limbs. Look at pictures of real babies to get ideas for blushing your baby doll in a realistic way.
