Monster High repaints ~

Hi ^^

 

I am nosily doese anyone of you ever tried a Monster High repaint?

I did it some years ago, but didnt liked it a lot.

But now after my sister is getting older its the chance for me to repaint some girls without to buy them ...

My sister gave me 8 of her MHs and now i cam try nearly whatever i want ^^

(Did i told that i love the sentence "Do whatever you want?" XD ...

 

 

 

So here is my first (second) try to repaint a MH...

I am not that happy with the eyes, but 7 girls left to try a better style >__<

(I am a fan of nicolles MHs faceups >__< Hope i can do it similar to hers soon >\\\<)

 

Ahaha it looks like we are making the same projects xD I was going to publish my custom MH when I'm back from holiday xD very cute tho!

yes, i actually purchased some first wave MH a few years ago and (foolishly?) wiped and abused them to practice for doing face ups on DD/BJD...

 

lately i've been practicing doing MH repaint for the sake of repainting the doll itself though. no pics to share yet, but i spent the majority of my afternoon (3-4 hours?) sketching out the design, cleaning, sanding, sealing, painting, and all the other tedium...

 

i like how it's going so far; maybe not this one but as soon as i paint one i'm "happy with" i'll definitely post it. also, FWIW, i love looking at other people's repaints. yours looks great so far Anouc! what materials are you using to repaint?

 

for all dolls (MH/BJD/DD), i fairly recently find i prefer using watercolor pencil w/ light or small amounts of acrylic paint and pastels, to a full acrylic face-up now. i don't have a problem with drawing faces but i do have severe problem with control of shaking hands and paint-thickness, so pencils to some extent are helpful~

Anouc, your repaint looks awesome!

 

I just started repainting MH dolls myself. My friend has a ton of the CAM dolls and let me practice on one. It's really fun, and a lot easier than I'd expected. I'm not great by any means, but my first MH turned out far better than my first resin face up!

 

I agree, leitan. I also prefer using watercolor pencils. I use a lot of pastels also, but really only use acrylics for the eyes. It just seems easier, and the end result is nicer.

Pretty! Are you painting her to look like a fawn? She looks so beautiful! Nefera has such a nice sculpt, I always love seeing what people paint her like!

was just browsing Etsy because i can't sleep and i came across this MH repaint - thought it might interest Anouc or anyone else who likes this style, since it seems to have a similar theme~ it's very pretty, can only hope to be good enough at painting one day to achieve something like this!
