Step 3: Coloring the lips
Requires: #2 Filbert, bespoke mixture
With the brush, paint a line along the length of the crease between the upper and lower lip. (where the mouth opening would be). Once you have done this you do not need to add any extra color. You are trying to achieve a shaded look so the inside of the mouth is darker than the edge of the lips.
Working the bottom lip first, pull some of the color downwards to cover the lip. Repeat onto the upper lip, maintaining the lip shape – most lips have an M shape at the top while the bottom is fairly rounded.
Once done, bake all of the pieces in the oven again.
Check if the lips have the desired shading look. If it is not noticeable at all, then you can go over it again using the same technique and rebake as needed. Don’t put too much color on or you could ruin the head.
Step 4: Add some veins
Requires: Liner brush, Blue mixture
This step is optional. Some people don’t find veins overly attractive on their baby dolls, whereas others adore the realism they can offer. While they may not be the most attractive part of reborning, if you want a realistic effect they can definately add some depth to your baby.
There is no right or wrong way to vein, and the best guide for this part are photographs or even yourself. Look at where you have veins that are the most prominent and look closely at the type of vein they are. Most are a long line with a few forks in them, but some are quite spidery in their appearance.
With a liner brush, dip it into the liner mixture and add a few forked veins onto the forehead, and the inner ear.
Next, add some veins onto the eyelid, Wrist (spidery), back of the hands, middle of the foot and above the ankle (spidery again).
Bake all of the pieces you added veins too.
