Tips & Techniques: Painting Hair on Doll Sculpts

Who would have thought that painting hair on a reborn could be so much fun? Certainly not I, until I saw some artists dolls at the 2009 IDEX show. These reborn dolls had hand rooted in hair, but around the head, the hair looked so delicate. When I took a closer look, it was actually hand painted hair on those delicate areas of the head (forehead, temples, in front and around the ears). So I thought if delicate painted hair could be done to look like that, then what would it look like if the entire head was painted. Some doll sculpts, like the Citi Toy doll, have slight sculpt marks on the doll head.You might normally wig or hand root in the doll’s head, but this time give hair painting a try.

In this guide you will find a quick, step by step instructions on how to give your new reborn that one of a kind look!
