Sue-Ellen’s Just Born

I have been following Sue-Ellen’s Patreon Just Born tutorial and I cannot believe the results. She could be charging much more for the amount of knowledge she is sharing.

I’ve only used the three primary colors and white!! No details or creases yet, but omg. This is game changer for me.

I highly recommend subscribing to her Patreon if you haven’t yet.

Where do I find her patreon? I looked on YouTube but the only one I found the videos are 5 years old that are posted.

Thank you

Looks great! Are you going to be using powders like she does? Are you using ghsp or air dry?

Thank you. I’m using Genesis. I do not have powders. I would like to try them tho.

That is interesting because I though she didn’t use white in any of her coloring. What you have there looks very nice. She is indeed a master of color theory and blending.

Does she have anything for using air dry paint?

It’s all Air Dry. I just use genesis and follow along.

I thought the same thing!! She uses premixed creases too but for the sake of the video she shows how to mix primaries to make a crease color.

I was surprised to see white mentioned, too. I rarely use it but it does have it’s place in a few of my layers, and especially in my preliminary layers before I start my primary color layers. Will the whole Just Born tutorial be there for someone who subscribes in the middle of it?

I am subscribed to Sue Ellen’s Patreon and yes the Just born tutorial is all there for those who join her Patreon. With her just born series she goes into doing the vernix and painting wet looking hair. I’m trying to follow it just for a bald newborn but that’s just me.

It’s best to join on the first day of the month as you will be charged for a full month even if we are two weeks in. Then charged again at the beginning of the following month. It is well worth it.

Thank you all. :orange_heart:

I normally would have stopped around the color of the first pic but decided to just continue and see what happens. I can always strip the kit if I end up not liking my results.

I think next time, I’ll be more aware of the feet and hands.

This baby has ALOT of color. What does everyone think? Makes my other babies look lifeless.

It has the distinct just born red look. It works well for that sculpt. For others you can back off a bit on the last round or so of coloring and still have nice end results. That is the great thing about building using primary colors. You can go as soft or as intense as you would like.

Thank you. That’s kind of what I was thinking bc the kit is so small it may even have a bit of early baby redness. I’m thinking about taking a toothpick dipped in acetone to the creases on the toes and fingers. Is that a good or bad idea?

I do not like using acetone as it can cause issues down the road. I have often successfully lightened dark veining or creases doing the same with W&N brush cleaner. It works well to remove a little color for you that way and once the product dries just wipe over it with a damp q-tip to remove any residue left behind. If you are going to add more paint over it use a little dish soap water to wipe it and then rinse off.
