Subject: Please critique my practice limbs.. Thank you Fri 9 Feb 2018 - 15:47
My first time reborning! I have very thick skin, please let me know what I need to correct, what I did right, how to improve.. This pictures were hard to take, the color kept getting washed out. I have not painted the nails , sealed to get rid of the shine etc... I'm only working on practice limbs until I know that I have the hang of it all...

Hi Moonie!!
From what I can see, I think they look great for your first time (even 2nd 3rd and 4th time!) ;p
It is hard to really critique because of the color of your photos (very red). The best light to photo your reborn is in day light (near
a window) then we can see your trial limbs skin tones as they really are. The last two photos don't look as red as some of the pics. So it might just be the photos and not your limbs.
You are doing awesome!!!

Thank you! It was amazing to see the vinyl come to life. I'm hooked!. I will tone the red/pink down some. You gave me the courage to start on a actual kit.

Hi Moonie!!
I meant your PHOTOS LIGHTING was too red to give you the best critique. Just need to see the true color of your limbs to give you the best input! I have had the very same issues depending on whether or not I use my cell phone or my camera. When people tell you to add or take away certain colors they are looking only at the photo and not the real limbs, so the advice could be all wrong on color/skin tones. Blend the outter edges of your creases so you don't see a "line" where they "end" might be helpful on your kit. I think you are doing awesome!! My first crease job didn't look as good as yours - wow!
Yayyyyyyyyyyy glad you are going for it!!! You can do this!!!

First of all welcome to Reborning, I still get excited to see the results of a baby coming to life
I agree with Jenny, it's your lighting. Do you have something white to put the limbs on and then more natural light will help bunches.

The color was very reddish pink. lol I did a green wash on them and they look so much better. I have put them aside for now, and I'm working on the Domoinic Kit from Bountiful Babies. Thank you for your advice and encouragement!

Good luck on your first baby!!
I agree with Jenny and Jo, you can't give a proper critique when the coloring of the photo is out of focus.
I actually go outside and take my pictures when I need to check my shades and coloring. Always make sure the sunlight is behind you.

Thank you Bearysweethearts! I retook the pictures in the sunlight coming from a window. I will post them and see if there is any difference.. I know I have to purchase a nice camera to get excellent photos
