*My Very First Repaint*

When I saw these at a local Dollarama:

I decided to take two of them home to repaint. For me, this was a better decision than buying a $20 doll and possibly ruining it with my inexperience. Here is my very first result:

And here she is with brand new hair and a temporary shirt:

Now I just need to make her a real outfit and shoes. The eyes are a little off center and I would definitely like a thinner paintbrush but for my very first attempt I think she's pretty cute!

Absolutely fantastic job! I agree, always practice on an inexpensive head first - although you did an amazing job on your first try! You know, I bet that head would look adorable on one of the mini obitsu bodies.

Aw thank you guys! I really wanted to aim for more detail but I just don't have the brushes or the proper sealer yet. I was going to buy more of these dolls but I don't know what to do with them when I'm done lol!

I just realized this is maybe posted in the wrong section - she's a tiny like a PukiPuki. Oops.

Cute!
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@
