Doing an AA that started with dark skin.
That ive found is way different than starting an AA with white skin and working up to dark Whew its like doing a negative.All the rules seem to change. For me anyway.No matter what i do or add she lacks color to me.Trying shadows but they all dry nearly exactly the same color.Maybe im just expecting the dolls colors to be lively but they arent.Dont know why i try AAs they just give me a headache…
i have used every color on her from red to yellow to burnt umber.
Please put your AAs up so i can see what i need to do.

Did you try burnt umber with a tiny dab of black?
So this is an AA kit? I REALLY don’t like those. I’ve had much more success, and more enjoyable time, starting from pale and slowly achieving beautiful dark tones. You will have much more control that way.

I can see i should have started with a white vinyl zi used burnt umber and added blue which gave me a darker color brown almost black.I dont have black.
I think this baby is coming along really well. I would just do the alternate yellow (ochre), red and blue layers as needed. She should darken after more layers. i have not done AA baby for ages, but when I did them I would do 3x as many layers as for Caucasian.

With the Bi-racial vinyl I use lighter shades to lighten the vinyl. I mix a color ratio from several lighter paints until I achieve the color I want. Apply several washes and works every time!
i went that direction but didnt like the result.Looked slightly chalky but i did use flesh #2 in it
Thanks Sony thats helpful ill try that too. I have lightened the palms and feet but Im not sure im happy with them. Ill take another look today.
i may need to go to that but im trying suggestions here
