Description I wanted to have a go at repainting an MH girl after seeing how nice their face molds were without their factory faceups

So I finished my first yesterday! I've sand-matted her body and given her some shading, and her makeup has been done in pastels and acrylics (and her teeny nails). I used a matte spray to seal her, but for some reason it's dried with quite a satin-y finish on her vinyl face, which is a little odd - anyways I'm really pleased with her, hope you like!

Woa your paint job is amazing! And it's so strange how REAL she looks without the cartoon makeup.

Thankyou very much! I'll admit I didn't really think much of the MH dolls when they first came out, it was only when I started to see other people customising them that I saw their potential!

You're very welcome, and I know what you mean I really didn't give them much thought until my little sister came home with one and I saw what lovely sculpting the had in the faces and hands.
Either way your Frankie looks lovely and LIFELIKE.
Oh I have a question, I’ve been wanted to get into custom doll painting and I was wondering if you could suggest a good paint? I’m not sure what to use.

I use acrylics from Jo Sonja , they're pretty accesible where I live (i.e. Western Australia), they're nice to use and they aren't very expensive - I believe the brand still produces something like a 'creative possibilities' set that includes 12 minitubes of standard colours you might use. The paint is the same quality, but it's handy just in case you didn't want to splurge straight away on full-sized tubes in lots of different colours.

Hope this helps - thanks for the interest!

That actually helps a lot! Thank you, and even I can't get that exact brand I can look for something similar here.

Thanks for the help and you're very welcome for the interest.
