How to make?

Hello all, I hope everyone is well! It’s been awhile since I last posted, but grand-baby is keeping me busy! I was asked to make a albino baby so I need some help before I commit as I have never made one before. What color paints do I use [heat set]. If anyone can help me figure this out I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi Skylar good to see you drop in. I have never reborned an albino either. I am still working on my first caucasian, lol. I have not been reborning much either as I got ill and had to have surgery. I am better and slowly getting back. Wish you well, enjoy that grandbaby, they are so precious and grow up so fast. Hope someone with Albino experience will chime in and save the day.

Take care

I really have no idea what I’m talking about but if I were going to try to make an albino baby- I would do layers of white washes slightly tinted with pink and mint to build a base as white as possible. I’d do mottling in a couple of shades of pink/lavender and then rounds of very thin primaries going very lightly with the yellow until I had the skin tone I wanted. I might try it one of these days to see if it works!

I hope we hear from someone who knows how to do this :slight_smile: Keep me posted on your progress, I’m very curious!

Helen’s albino baby reminds me of an Asian albino woman who came into a place where I worked once. She had the most porcelain white skin and the longest snowy white hair. She was pretty.

I didn’t plan for my Tacy to be albino but when I finished her she looked a little bit like it.

This sounds interesting, Thank You!

I used the basic undertones directly onto vinyl, no skin color, I mix blue and a purple and add your thinner, and lightly pounce, then I just did my yellow wash, light green wash, and wherever I liked I did a rosary wash like on cheeks , I don’t have any certain colors I just mix my own😊
