I am working on my second baby and I already made my mind that I dislike varnishing step so much (don’t want to use word ‘hate’, but it comes close). Even eyebrows that time went so easy
May be I am still afraid that something will go wrong at the very end? Or may be because I don’t see well where it went thicker and where it thinner, or some flakes accumulation, or the fact that it ‘mutes’ the colors and I am not brave enough yet to go with the ‘bolder’ painting. I don’t know, but it makes me nerves (and hungry!) more than anything else…
What is your most dreadful step in the whole reborning process?
veins. I have yet to make them look realistic. my problem i know is not getting the paint thin enough. Which that too is something I am working on currently.
@jlesser Yeah, I had my fist experience with eyes inserts, ask forum and it seemed that only I had that problem . I am glad I am not alone. But I find out that if I close MY eyes while putting eyes in, they go in place better. I also cut eye sockets wider, that helped (may should do it to begin with, but as a newbie I always concern to ‘overdo’ everything). Didn’t glue eyes yet or varnish with Pledge, so that is on my ‘learning’ list…
Im weird, I love doing creases and rooting as well… all the stuff most people hate. I don’t like eyebrows, sometimes they come out good and sometimes it takes me all day and they still look bad. Varnishing is hard for me to because its more physically demanding but I still don’t hate it as much as eyebrows.
I love painting the head and doing veining, but I really don’t enjoy painting the limbs. I don’t like it because most of the limbs I paint look very similar. I do like painting the unique limbs, but most I don’t enjoy at all.
I find creases boring, but what I really don’t like is rooting. It never goes how I want it, it takes way too long, it makes my hands hurt, I’m always poking the needle into my fingers and the mohair just makes me itchy.
Sometimes it hurts my fingers so much
