First Middie Blythe - part 3

At first I sanded the face plate until there was no paint on it. Than I carved the space between nose and mouth particularly the lips very carefully. It wasn´t easy to observe the symmetrie.

I used different carving tools. Among other things a linocut tool and scalpels with different blades. Actually it was more shaving as carving.

I sanded the face again with fine sandpaper for wet-grind and used a bit water. Than I sealed the surface with Mr.Super Clear UV cut. I don´t know if UV cut is necessary. Usually I use it for my BJDs.

First step of make-up with pastel and acrylic paint on the lips. I like this little face and next time I will try to change more.
