I personally do the vast bulk of my repaints entirely in pencil, but a lot of people prefer doing them in acrylic paint. My key kit is comprised of a vast amount of watercolour pencils, a large tube of white acrylic paint, and a selection of pink and brown pastels for blushing and eyeshadow. Be careful not to follow these same steps if you have a hard plastic doll, as some items I recommend for vinyl will affect plastic negatively - acetone basically melts plastic.įirst of all, you are going to need what feels like an incredible arsenal. I'm using an Ever After High doll, but you could use Monster High, Barbie, Tonner, whatever you want. This post is going to - hopefully - give you some basic tools to repaint a vinyl-headed doll. I've only been repainting for a couple of years now so I definitely don't know everything yet, but I feel well-qualified to give you a beginners' course in the subject. Hello fellow doll enthusiasts! I'm Charlotte, and Emily has very kindly given the opportunity to share some of my repaint tips and techniques with you all.


Repainted by Charlotte of Milklegs Dolls. So, in this post Charlotte will walk us through her repainting process and then I will share some pictures of my two exquisite Milklegs girls.Įver After High Briar Beauty and Monster High Frights, Camera, Action! Clawdeen Wolf.

That all worked out for the best, though, because Charlotte has gotten even more accomplished over the last year, and has actually opened an Etsy shop ( Milklegs Dolls) through which I was able to purchase a few of her repainted Monster High and Ever After High dolls.
