Joseph WIP please help!

Ok guys…Joseph is my second baby. In direct sun light he looks really red, in natural light and inside with camera flash he looks great. Should I leave him be or do something else to him.

I don’t think he’s too red. Notice in the outdoor pics how your skin is similar in color to his? And in the indoor camera pics the color is similar to your skin again? I think it’s just the lighting making him look red outside.

I thought so too but wanted a more experienced opinion. Thanks!

I think you are doing well with your second baby. His color is close to your skin color and newborn babies can be on a reddish side.
What I wanted to point to you that you might reconsider to leave the deep parts of his face to be that light. Usually the deepest parts should look darker and shaded with blue/ vein blue/ eyelid purple/ creases colors. See how white crease around his nose is or in other places that I circled below. Shading face correctly adds realism that turns a doll into a baby.
