I don’t know why I am determined to make portrait dolls of me, my brother, and my cousins, but I have half of them ready to paint. I just wanted to share the matches for three of us because I think it’s interesting and also if someone else sees a better match.
Me - Kimberly
Kimberly is long and skinny which is great because so was I (almost 22 inches). More I look at it though the less close it looks but still looks similar enough. There’s also a million pictures of me to pick from since I was the first baby, so every picture looks like a different kit.
My brother - Canon
I think a better match for my brother is LouLou but there’s no way I’m going to be able to grt my hands on a LouLou without going bankrupt. My mom saw the Canon head and said that it looked like him. I think Kodi Bear would be a good match for the second one though, since he got super chunky at ~6 months.
My cousin - Pearl
My youngest cousin really looks like Pearl. The eyes are super similar and so is the face shape. It’s hard to tell but since she was born when I was starting to remember things, I remember what she looks by memory. My entire family also agreed it looks like her. She’s going to be 15 this year so I doubt she’ll even care about baby dolls. It feels weird saying that she’s going to go to high school now out loud The baby of the family is growing up lol.
My mom asked me to make portrait dolls of my brothers and I but I can’t get her to agree on a kit match lol! At first we agreed on Phoenix for my brother. Then she said No ugh
I also am not sure where to start. I guess skin tone match? Hair color length style?
You did good with your kit matches I wish there were more rounded newborn heads though… pearls is pretty round. I think that’s what’s missing in Kimberly as a match for you
Wow! Canon is a great match for your brother! Love those chubby cheeks!
I like Kimberly for baby you, i also kind of see Realborn Callie?
It can be so hard to match kits off pictures. Like you said, each baby picture looks like a different kit!!! Plus babies grow and change so fast at that stage. I think you did great matches for all three babies!
I made dolls of my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and I am so happy to have these babies to look at every time I go into my doll room. It’s better than pictures because they are 3D. Yours are going to be adorable.
