Getting the right coloring for my reborn skin
Permalink   

Hello-
I am fairly new to reborning and I am learning more with each baby but I do have a question about skin coloring.  I am in the process of reborn a beautiful baby "Catharina" reborn. I am using GHS premixed paints.  I have applied the base flesh, warm blush, and lighter blush color to all my parts.  I am in love with how the head turned out however i am not so happy with the limbs.  While the head has a nice contrast with light and darker tones, my limbs seem to be more reddish.  Can I just apply more flesh 08 in areas to achieve the look matching the head?  I am also having a rather difficult time with the soles of the feet and little palms. I tried applying the warm blush inside the hand and bottom of the feet, but it just doesn't look right. They look "fake" and too dark, not a nice pink color. Any ideas?
Thank you

I would put another lighter layer and see how it looks.Thats the good thing about these paints, you can put on as many layers as it takes to make us happy with the look.:)

Thank you. I will definately try that when I get home. Like I said I love how her head turned out but can't for the life of me figure out how the limbs turned out differently.

From your comments I would say you are putting on your blushing color a little to dark. If you need to tone it down, go to your colorwheel and find the color that will neutralize that red. Then search the forum on color correction :)
