Progress as an Artist

Hey all! I’ve been reborning since Feb 2020.
I’m getting better at some things. I’m proud of my hair painting progress the most I believe. I’m still not that good but I’ve been just winging it and hoping for the best!

I’d love to see everyone else’s progress from when they started to now!

Pictured is the first time I painted hair (2nd reborn I had done)
And the most recent baby on which I painted hair.

Oh this is fun. Looks like your learning curve wasn’t as steep as mine. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I felt so deflated that I almost quit.

What ever was my poor first child’s eyebrows…


I can still use brow work among other things but these are definitely better. (2019-2021. 1st and 6th)

My 20th reborning anniversary is coming up ~ my very 1st went into the trash. He was too pale and I didn’t realize I could’ve added more paint :joy: My first ones sold for $150. I was so proud.

No kits back then, we took Berenguers apart, repainted them, added wigs, fake lashes…they were true “reborns”

Maggie was probably my 3rd/4th (I have stripped and redo the others so many times…) but the 1st that I have sold


Two of my last, after 5 years. Pictures from my tablet, not the best

Let’s just say I think I’ve come a long way in 8 years!

This is June, my fourth baby from over 2 years ago, verses my June now. I like to think I have come long way in that amount of time, especially with hair painting. Though this particular black June I have gotten dozens of requests for- the most ever out of any doll. People just seemed to love her! I will hopefully make another dark-skinned June one day and have a better comparison.

I don’t have photos of my first. They were just wal mart dolls.

But here is one of my first BB babies.

And one of my latest.

I miss painting. I haven’t done any since the move.
