Hi, is there a match for the girl below? I’m new and I need inspiration, so I picked this cutie to make a portrait doll of. Thank you.

That is totally Sharlamae by Bonnie Brown if you can find one. She’s long sold out.

My first thought was Shyann.
Thanks everybody for the excellent suggestions! I want the Sharlamae but Arianna looks even closer and so adorable.

Maybe Adalyn
My first thought was Fei Yen also.
What about Suu Kyi? There’s a lot of cute kits suggested. I want them all! Thanks everybody!
If you’re new at this, I would definitely stick with a bountiful baby kit for now. Biracial skin tones are hard. And some of the expensive kits are orange and really hard. The BB kits are neutral, soft, and really easy to work with. Plus, last I looked, they had Shyann seconds for about $25. That would be an excellent practice baby. 
Here’s a preorder kit that has great potential. Scroll through the pics to see the AA version.

I’m trying the primary washes method of skin color. Blue, red and yellow in layers until the desired color. What colors do I need besides the primaries? I’m torn between Winsor and Newton paint and the waterborne paint.
This baby is so cute. I’m tempted to put a deposit down.
