WIP Esenia update ❤️

I'm so excited to share the progress of painting Esenia!

I think I'm ready to start lanugo, milia and fine details on her head and blush her hands and feet. I also gotta give her nails.

I hope you like her 🥰

WIP Esenia by Irina Kaplanskaya

I visited Sonneberg Doll Show on Saturday and I picked up an Esenia kit!! I'm so so excited about it!

I'm on day 3 of painting now and I have lost track of how many layers I have painted on her but I know I did six neutralizing and creasing layers and I know I've done four mottling layers!

I'm trying to make her complexion more pinkish-blue rather than my more pinkish-yellow complexion I normally do and so far I think it's going great.

I still have so so so much left on her, but I'm thinking some creasing again for the next layer and then some washed of pinks and purples!

I will post my Sonneberg pictures soon, I tried posting them on Saturday, the day of the show, but reddit was having issues and wouldn't let me post 😅

Anyways, I hope you like her ❤️

Three more hours of work!!

I put in another three hours today on my new sleeping baby.

She's just so precious, I'm so excited to see where she'll end up 🥰😍

Early sculpting WIP

I decided to break my "no more new sculpts until you finish one" rule and I started another head 😂

I've wanted to make another relaxed sleeper for a good while so tonight I felt inspired and I got started!

We're only about 2-3 hours in so we have a long way to go, but I think she looks really promising already!

It's also quite rare for me nowadays to sculpt from my own imagination, I'll usually try to portrait sculpt or at least use a main reference, but I used to just sculpt from my own imagination so I decided to try it again and well, she's a cutie 🙈❤️

I hope you guys like her too, even though we're super early in the process 🥰
