Just ... not good.,

This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: A Step-By-Step Guide to Face Repainting (Paperback)
The simple truth is that Ms. Guidice's repaints are not very good. Although she may help an absolute beginner get started, her own work is so amateurish that it's uninspiring. I don't expect fantastic writing, but the examples do not create confidence in the expertise of the instructor.
Any Jim Faraone book has better eye candy and specific tips; many, MANY generous doll artists offer help online with tutorials and fabulous galleries of their work. A quick search of the Web (try "repaint tips" or "fashion doll repaint") will prove infinitely more rewarding than this book.

A good place to start,
By Colleen Colby Ziemer (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: A Step-By-Step Guide to Face Repainting (Paperback)
I bought both the authors books, and as a newbie to doll makeovers have found them very helpful. I found the author's writing style a bit distracting (a bit wordy, with a tendency to overuse adjectives). As the book's purpose is informational not literary, this is a small criticism, and easily overlooked especially as there are no other books like it on the market. Unlike the few other books on the subject, this is the only author who takes the beginner stey by step through the process.

Firstly, I am quite disgusted with the author's own glowing review of her work in the pretended guise of a user/reader. Perhaps she wrote this review before Amazon implemented their "real name" options and forgot that she had written this review anonymously. In any case - one might consider disregarding a pretend review by the book's own author.
I purchased this book back when I began repainting, and it was a small help to me as a beginner. This book may serve as the most base of starts but beyond that I cannot recommend it. If you are anything but the most green of novices, you will likely get no information of value from the work presented. Unfortunately there is a lack of quality repaint books in the market, so it is true that this is one of the only options. i would recommend contacting a repainter for tips instead, and searching the internet, which contains many valuable resources for fledgling repainters.
