Heeey, keep it up, Cruz

This week's artist is Noel Cruz.





Noel Cruz is a professional portrait artist, specializing in the repainting of dolls and action figures to look like real people. His love of repainting rose from his childhood love of drawing portraits, which he still does to today, but he is more known for repainting in resemblance of actors who played characters, like Lord Voldemort and Audrey Hepburn.

For the actual repainting part, Cruz uses Golden brand paints, painted on by ultra fine brushes. Afterwards, he will adjust the hair too to look like how it was in the movies. Any other supplies he uses to "repaint" at this point vary from doll to doll. Some dolls require more work depending on how much he needs to adjust the outfit. Some dolls are repainting with entirely new outfits too.
