At least she's not faceless any more...

Yes, I am aware one eye is slightly bigger than the other. I refuse to clean off any more paint today!

Face ups are challenging, I totally understand about not wanting to wipe off anymore paint.  That is exactly how I felt after my third attempt at Skelita like lips on the CAM skeleton.  Take your time and walk away when frustrated.  That's what I do!  Love the blue eyes and wig combo

I like the clean and simple design. 


I had the same issue until a friend of mine suggested I use watercolor pencil to draw on the eye shape since I am waaayyy better drawing than free hand painting.  You can paint over it and as long as you seal between head/color pencil and color pencil/acrylic paint, you'll risk no stains.

Jupi- thank you my dear! I'm going to try to redo that eye later this week. I did put her head back on for now

Mermaid splash- yeah, this is my first vinyl doll. I've done several BJD and Blythes. MH is like a combination between a BJD and a pony. I do love that MSC dries and isn't sticky, that makes pastels much easier. The blue wig was on accident I was going to rehair her in white and violet but I stuck the wig on for a quick progress shot and decided it was prefect.

Cupcake wishes- thank you, i really wanted to keep her as simple as possible, i really don't like clutter or to much going on. The pencil is how I marked the eyebrows, I don't know why I didn't think to outline the eye. I'll try that when I redo that one eye.

Great job on the blushing too!

Yes, watercolor pencil works excellently when you're working on faceups- I don't know what I would do without them!

I thought I had heard somewhere that MSC breaks down plastic?  I guess not?

  I only did eye brows with color pencil for a while, I also have a painfully obsessive need for everything to be symmetrical and I end up drawing guide lines across the face too LOL

I still like your style.

Awesome paintwork. n_n Those lips in particular are really pretty!<3
The eyes are really nice - even if they're not symmetrical, they both look good.
I hate trying to match eyes and stuff >< apparently I can only paint something *just* right only once lmao.

Lmao. Know the feeling, I do that all the time! xD
(Also really wish I could "like" that! Haha)

Has anyone tried kind of making like a base line with painters tape? Just like for the top or bottom of the eye? might work since the faces of the CaM Lab dolls are wonky..
