New technique pic heavy

I decided to venture out and do a new technique. Nothing from any tutorial this was just from my instincts and I'd love to hear Thoughts and opinions! I'm a new reborner so I probably should have gotten so adventurous so quick but I got excited lol! Honest opinions please!! I know the pics aren't so know the pics aren't spectacular it's dark and rainy here today

The baby looks sweet. What is the "new technique" you are asking for feedback on?

Love her!! Skin tones nice n soft, she looks real!!! Great job!!!

Thanks ladies!
Pia- I just mixed my paints a little different and applied them different than I normally do and added different washes. I've been sticking to a "routine" with my painting but wanted to change it up and attempted to get more depth and deeper skin tones.

Nice job! You did good

Thank you all!!!

Wow girl! You need to teach us how you do that because that baby is looking so real! You're not a newbie anymore after that baby! Wow! My jaw is on the floor!

Wow Michelle thank you! That was incredibly sweet! I just went with my instincts for her. Mixed a lot of my paints custom this time and even tried a new mixture with her lips. Normal I've stuck to a basic routine and basic colors but I went with what felt good and just wanted to make sure she didn't look terrible before I tried it again lol!

Well you should always go with your instincts cause that baby is perfect!

Looks great to me!!!! Well done

And please tell me you made notes as you were exploring this new path!!!! I've been working on a fairy and doing my own thing but doofus me forgot to write down what I did along the way.

Thank you Tina!!

Sharon- oh yes I'm a meticulous note taker and not just with reborning with pretty much everything in life lol! I'm a type A personality combined with an artistic creativity and I can overwhelm myself sometimes! Lol

This baby and the photos are so superior to the photos and the baby that you entered in the Newbie Contest. Congratulations on the improvements!

That is a beautiful skin tone! Washes always impress the heck outta me... I am always surprised at what they do and so thankful for those who share their "recipes".

Pia- thank you, I've gotten a great brand new camera for my pictures, I had been using my iPad and everything looked washed out and fuzzy. The contest baby actually had great mottling and details but just couldn't see any

I just now saw your baby. Wow, that is an amazing baby, given that you are a newer reborn artist. Incredible! Great job!

Sweet little one
