repainted my Impldoll Crystal faceup before i even finished putting the whole doll together
i'm still learning to do my own faceups, and the last faceup i did on her, which i was planning on keeping, was decent skill wise but still Wrong
i was so relieved to have finally done something i was ok with as far as quality that it took me a little bit of living with it to realize that while it was not a bad faceup, it was not at all what i'd actually wanted for the character i'm trying to make. i kept trying to push the contrast (bc that's what i like to do when i draw) and i ended up with a faceup that had really strong bold pinup-esque makeup and sharp eyebrows... overall it would have been perfect if i was trying to make a doll of a sassy rockabilly character. except that's not the doll i am trying to make at all
this is much softer and actually a lot more similar to the company faceup shown in Impldoll's pics, and usually i want my dolls to be painted really differently from their company presentation, but i guess this is the rare instance where it was pretty close to what i actually wanted?
not EXACTLY the same, but not nearly as much of a difference as just about all my other dolls.
HUGELY different from what i did before tho. also tbh a lot better, now that i'm looking at them side by side!
unfortunately i misplaced her eyes after i took them out to repaint her and all my stuff is such a frigging mess since i'm still not done redoing my room that i might have to just make another pair 😭😭😭
