Maybe you have to thin your paint more and donāt bake until you are happy with what you have. I do that a lot then I have to be going back and cleaning creases with a toothpick 
and for the little spaces that the paint donāt stick try to scrub with a toothbrush when you are washing the kit and when painting gold and open those creases until you get the print in there. I hope this helps.
I havenāt taken any art classes but it runs in the family. My mother is a wonderful sketch artist but natural not learned. I am okay but my son is 11 and itās starting to shine. I have an eye for beauty, photos color and expensive things lol.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Iām a high school art teacher. Some things from my past experience have transferred, and others are completely new and crazy hard! I couldnāt have learned how to make reborns without all the help Iāve found here

I would love to see some of your egg shell work if you have any pictures.
Thank you 
yes the dolls and pony I made for our home business. I draw a lot digitally with a Wacom tablet. I use all kinds of art programs and cad programs. I designed the pony and dolls to be sewn on an embroidery machine instead of a sewing machine. You just push a button and it sews out
Wow just so many talented ladies here!! I wish I was at home so I could post some of my drawings. Itās so fun to share and see everyoneās work!

As a child, through school, I loved art class and being creative. Most of my teachers remarked to my parents how good I was at art but so very bad at math. 
I was mostly a black-and-white sketch artist, occasionally using colored pencils, until I discovered reborning. Thirty-five years ago I attempted oil painting but didnāt continue.
Iām just the opposite good at math and Terrible at artā¦Lol Iāve seen your work (babies) they are beautiful, I canāt wait to get to that level of realismā¦ how long have u been a reborn artist?

Thank you, BusyBee! Iāve been reboring for a little over four years now. My babies were terribly frightening for the first year. I took some reborning classes through the REAL Reborn Forum. The teacher there is Lara Antonucci, and she offers classes a few times a year. They are usually around $45 and you get an E book with it so you can continue to practice the techniques she teaches.
There were many times while growing up that I wished I was better at math than at art, but Iām thankful for my artistic abilities. I get them from my paternal grandmother and some from my momās side. Glad to say that I am a bit better with math these days, too. I homeschool my son and I find my brain being able to do things with numbers and math that I never could figure out how to do while in grade school.
Keep at the reborning and keep practicing. Study the work of those you admire and ask questions.

From the scenery in your uncles pics he looks like he lives in Louisiana or another Gulf Coast southern state 
I grew up with my parents teaching ceramics classes. I did that from the time I was 5 and could hold a paint brush until the time I moved away in 1999. My mom made me ceramic dolls and porcelain dolls, and she is doll crazy (which I am not), but I started for her. In 2005 I missed painting so that is when I started my adventure. I love to play with clay, and crochet since I was a little girl. So I guess you could say crafty runs in my family

wowā¦so many talented artists on the forum. I donāt have any formal art training. I loved art in high school and got good marks. I obtained my Certified Make-up Artist certificate from St.Clair College but didnāt pursue it. Iāve just been learning as I go, mostly from information shared by other generous and kind reborn artists.
