Reborn Painting Tutorial - Part VI - Blushing

Now the fun part of reborning a kit is finally here. Adding color to give a more "Alive" appearance. This is the Blushing Tutorial:

Colors used for blushing. From Left to Right:

Flesh 08, Pyrole Red #2 Q. Crimson and Yellow Ochre.

I used a "tweezed" cosmetic wedge and regular cosmetic wedge.

I use even amounts of all the colors. From Left to Right:

Pyrole Red #2, Flesh 08, Q. Crimson and Yellow Ochre.

Add your odorless thinner to make a consistency to a lotion consistency.

I brush the paint onto the plucked sponge and then dab onto my paper towel.

This is applied to the cheeks, up the temple and down to the chin and under. Lightly applied.

Now I take my other cosmetic sponge and brush some paint on the thinner end.

Paint applied and dabbed onto a paper towel

Apply to top of ears and around the edge and the tip of the nose using the sponge. A small brush could be used as well for blushing. Make sure the brush is almost dry.

Knees are blushed.

Toes, Heels up the outside of the foot and across the pads of the foot are blushed.

Elbows are blushed

Fingertips, tips, palms and the padding along the bottom of fingers

Blush the back of the fingers to the first knuckle. I also do the center back of hand.

Now we are going to take the same paint mix and do the lips. Using a liner brush apply the blushing mix to the lips. Again the brush needs to be somewhat dry.

Here is a second layer added to the lips.

If you have an open mouth kit do the inside as well. 

Second layer of blushing to the knees.

Second Layer to the tops of toes.

Second layer to the toes, heel up the outside of the foot and over the pads under the toes.

Second layers to the cheeks and outer edge of ear.

Two layers of blushing and after being baked.

Two layers and baked

Two layers and baked.

The limbs blushed and baked.

Next tutorial will cover the details that are added for more realism. Stork bites and Capillaries, etc. 

Happy Reborning :)
