Connie, it really depends on how dark of an AA baby you are going for. If you want it to be a lighter biracial, I think that's good there. If you want it to be a dark AA, then keep going.

thanks Karen... i think a little darker so will add a few more coats...
I appreciate the help girl!!!

what color can I use if I don't have Red 08.
I thought I had all the colors i needed for this tutorial.... uuggg

Subject: Re: AA-using caucasian kit Sun 5 Feb 2012 - 14:02

red 08 is a very light red, basically pink so if you have a darker red color, you can add white to it to get the color.

Subject: Re: AA-using caucasian kit Sun 5 Feb 2012 - 14:22

Ummmm...not to sound dumb or anything....but in my mind....Flesh 04 is a medium beige...and it can only get to a certain darkness.....the actual color that it is........

I'm thinking if you want to go darker....add some color to it.....???

I'm sort of an experimenter when it comes to color....I swirl it all around....put it on and if I don't like it....wipe it
off and go at it again!!!! wink

Cherie, all she is doing at this stage is taking the vinyl to a bi-racial color vinyl such as what BB used to produce. There are many more flesh layers to come to give the skin tone.

ok.... if i had READ the instructions a little better i would have seen that I could use red 07 as well.... I added a couple more layers of the flesh 04 and I think that is a good starting point for the rest of the tutorial... so on we go... after lunch.... I am really excited to make this AA baby.... may be back for some more help this afternoon.... thanks!!!!
thankyou!

AHHHHHHh....I see!!!

Subject: Re: AA-using caucasian kit Sun 5 Feb 2012 - 16:16

Yes, I think that you are almost there with the color that I started with, with the bi-racial vinyl. I think just a couple more layers, and you will have it! bigsmile

Subject: Re: AA-using caucasian kit Sun 5 Feb 2012 - 17:26

I think I am ready now for the tutorial. I have put 11 layers of the Flesh o4 on Anna the caucasian kit. the first 4 pictures are the finished colors. ready to go now...

I am still shocked hahahahah

Subject: my AA baby done... Sat 3 Mar 2012 - 15:24

I have gotten my Anna done using the AA tutorial. I like the way she turned out... Maybe could have had a bit lighter hands and feet... but for the most part it was my first try and not having anything to go by....
See what you think....

Well done!! Her tone is nice and smooth. Her hands and feet look okay to me but if I were to critique anything or make any suggestions for next time it would be to make the creases darker. Other than that, she is simply beautiful!! loveyou!

Subject: Re: AA-using caucasian kit Sat 3 Mar 2012 - 20:56

thank you Karen... I will certainly be making another one and will remember the creases... the first is always the test...
