Hi this is my first AA baby from a Baylee kit, I made him for a friend who gave me some photo's to get an idea on colouring but it was very much trial and error.What do you think, how could I improve for next time. Adel x
Adel I think you did a nice job, I made the baylee kit she is not as dark as yours, my husband asked me why I did not have any dark skinned babies, I told him that I planned to make my next one darker and maybe twins. I am so hooked on this art form.
Adel, I would never have guessed this was your first AA baby. I think he's perfect, and I really don't know what to suggest to improve. Your friend will love him.

Adel, he is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. As an AA, myself, his coloring is perfect. And I would have never guessed it was your first as well. I'm a soon to be beginner, trying to decide which doll to do first. Again, he is beautiful.
Thank you ladies for your comments, he is a Baylee ethnic kit by Lorna Miller Sands and sorry I dont have a link my friend purchased the kit from e-bay and I reborned him for her. Adel xx
Very nice job,although I could never see myself do an AA or even HA baby(to much work)...I'd do Asian if I could afford the kits(most kits I've seen of Asian babies are adorable).
Although it is probably a bit easier,no blushing,mottling,etc to do...lucky that some kits actually look like a real baby,but none are dark enough for me to try turn it into this.
I've seen photos of AA babies right after birth, and most of them are not very dark. You might be able to pull off a newborn without too much work?
Linda
