Sometimes when I buy a doll, I use a picture from Ebay and edit the face to see what needs to be done and how it’d look before I customize.
Back in 2006 when I first saw the promo pics released for the very first Wicked Witch Barbie it was this really lovely, hand painted prototype that was very barbie-ish but green and had lovely curls in her hair. In reality it was this ratty haired, creepy eyed thing, and 14 year old me was disappointed.
Since then I like to think I picked up some customizing skills and hope to make this Witch doll look a bit more like her prototype.
So here’s my photo edit of repro Francie in terms of trying to make her look more vintage looking cuz I have one in the mail and I customize better if I have a set goal in mind.
First off her lip shape is completely off as her upper lip is crazy big and wide and her lower lip needs to be wider and rounder.
Her eye shape is kinda off as it’s too almond shaped and needs to be rounded off at the corners and be a smidge smaller on the lower eye lid. Her eyes are definitely too dark so they need a lighter brown and her pupils need to be reshaped as well as.
Her eyeshadow is the wrong shape and with all these adjustments it’d be easier repainting her eyes than doing slight edits to them.
Also her rooted eyelashes are too thick and dark so I’ll reroot them.
I do like her eyebrows so I might keep them lol.
This is my edit of the image I have taken called Joop Bottle. To firstly achieve this edit, I created another layer via copy. This created a new layer in Photoshop with the exact same image on it, I did this so I could use one effect on one layer and another and the second layer. What I then did next was desaturate the background on the first layer. To do this I selected the top layer I wanted to use and used the quick selection tool to highlight the background, I then deleted it. Then I went to the other layer and used the desaturation adjustment to make the background desaturated. I noticed that the image looked a little sharp on the desaturated background, so next I used the rubber tool with an opacity of 30 and rubbed around the edges of the image to make it less harsh and to blend it in with the background. The final thing that I did to complete this edit was adjust the hue and saturation on the top layer image. I changed the Hue to -89, Saturation to 35 and lightness to -25, this made the joop aftershave bottle turn purple. I decided to use purple because I thought you could still read to text on the bottle easily and look good on the desaturated background.
