Creasing is the one reborning step that I probably spend the most time explaining to customers and artists. Customers can be apprehensive because painting creases is rather time-consuming and many artists don't do them well. Artists dislike creases for the same reason: hours of work that is difficult to get right. However, properly painted creases can really make a doll stand out in the crowd because shading the creases is critical to realism. As you can see in the photo above, the hand on the left (the right hand) looks significantly more like skin than the hand on the right (the left hand). That is because unpainted creases make the doll retain that "plastic mold" look. Shading the creases creates the illusion of depth needed to make those little folds and wrinkles look like skin. It's amazing what a difference a little painting makes!
