This is Femi (African girl's name meaning "love me"). She was not supposed to be AA. I was working with this kit (Tayla) and Teagan kit together, and I dont know when neither why, this one turned so different, and I decided doing her AA. After all I learnt a lot with this doll!!. she has lot of imperfections, but I love her!. What do you think? Comments are very welcome.

Congrats with Femi (I like the name) You did a lovely job on her. The hair is well done. I am sure I can learn from you. She is too precious!!!!. I would say the face is a bit too dark or the limbs too pale. (it is just my honest opinion, I am not saying its wrong). Maybe it is poor lightning.
Thank you Ronnel and Tina! Yes, you are right Ronnel, her legs look like a little bit "grey". They have some parts differents from her face.AsI cannot identify yet what it is, I decided to put her way a while and then I will come back. Also, I dont know what happened that there is a spot in the right front head and in the left eyebrown that the color doesnot get. I will be back to her and hope can see more. Anyway, any comments are really welcome. Thank you all you again! Hugs Lucia

You don't need to put her away... She is really lovely!! I think all she needs is another layer of your skin tone mix on the legs to match the face. Most of the AA babies are shiny, their moms rub them with vaseline. (lol)... so don't worry about the shine on her that is normal for a AA baby.
Well thanks for that, didn't know dark babies where rubbed with vaseline, I am just completing my first two AA babies and have put a matt varnish (GHS) layer on her face and that has toned her down, I think I like her better than being too shiney, I love your colouring, have you done inside the hands pale, as most dark babies when there born are pale and have very pale feet and hands with the darker shading in the creases. XXXXX June.
Thank you Ronel! that is true!! She shinnes more than the others! I was going to give her a lay of matte, so I am not going to. And thanks for the adviser, I will do it and when she will be ready I will come back with new photos!. Yes June, i noticed that some caucasian babies have their soles very shinning,colored with points of red, but this not really happens with AA babies. Their soles are really pale. I remember when I started to do Femi as AA, I walked through markest and every place paying attention to every AA babies. I met twins, oh God!!They were so beautifull, and I even could cuddle one of them! Thank you Dee, I tried to do like the baby I saw, she had much more hair in the front than in the back.By the way, HAPPY EASTER for all of you!!!. Hugs Lucia
