Two finished
No new info today, just some photos of two of the Monster High girls that I painted all finished! They still need gloss, but as soon as I have that I'll post them on my Etsy shop!

Ghoulia painting!
Not as many photos between each step this time and less commentary, but here's progress on a Ghoulia Yelps that I painted today!
Ugh I really wish the gloss that I ordered would come in the mail so that I could finish them up 100% and list a few in my Etsy shop!

Repainting Cleo Part 2
Part two, I start in on the eyes! This is the part that takes me the most time, so I usually like to do it as soon as I can.
Paint in pupils, then some shadowing.
Adding some white and trying to blend.
More black, and more blending!
Catching up with the other eye, trying to make them even and shiny looking.
Fixing up the eyeliner and adding some white to make the eyes 'pop'.
Eyebrows and the two reflective points I forgot to add before in the eyes!
Eyelashes and lip lines, and we're ready to seal!
All done except for gloss! I'm waiting on some vinyl safe gloss to arrive before I can call her face 100% finished unfortunately.

Repainting Cleo Part 1
Not really a tutorial, just step by step progress shots of me repainting a Monster High Cleo that I rerooted!
Wrapping up the hair so I don't ruin it when spraying!
I use my airbrush for any type of blushing, I started with an orange/red very close to the hair color.
Added some white highlights. They look really blatant now, but the more painting I do the less noticeable they are.
A little black around the eyes, trying to make it look smoky and catlike.
Painting in white the outline of where the eyes go. I do this in airbrush paint because it is thin so it will go on smooth, but also a very opaque white. This is where you want to try and get the eyes even!
Black eyeliner, this is your last chance to get the eyes symmetrical (clearly I didn't, oh well). Evenness is very important, but there's a difference between 'even' and 'symmetrical'. As long as you look at the face head on and it doesn't look like one side is bigger than the other, or one side is drooping off the face it will probably be okay.
I decided on red eyes to match the hair. Shading them next time!

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
I went a little overboard at Target today buying Monster High dolls, I just got really excited.
So here's some of the create-a-monster heads without any face paint! You can see how different all the head sculpts are (I really just love the sea monster one though).
From left to right: Vampire boy, cat girl, sea monster girl, witch girl, vampire girl and gargoyle boy.
The cat girl doesn't have human ears? Oh well, I guess that just means she has to be a cat! I only got about halfway through painting the face before I had to call it quits for the night. The sea monster was a bit easier to paint since the eyes are so well defined and rounded.
Does anyone have any interest in seeing actual progress photos of me painting the dolls? Like between steps?
