Dora's skin tone is a little darker than the peach, try adding just a touch of warm brown to it and see if that works. If it's not dark enough just add a little each time til you reach a shade lighter than you want it because bc will darken with being exposed to air.

I've used ivory to achieve skin color and have also used copper.

Dora is a little darker than what I've made though, so I can't say for sure that it will work.

I hope that is a design and not a flavor. Heheee icon_razz.gif

I always use just a touch of copper. It makes a great warm skintone. But be very careful because a little goes a long, long, long, way! I start out with just a dot from a toothpick and add if needed.

darn...ivory was the one color I didn't pick up today!! I'm actually turning the Dora pan into my daughter!! She is lighter than Dora so I thought maybe the peach would work....I will try to run and get ivory....but I DOUBT it.........I don;t dare take my twins into Hobby Loby or Michaels!!

go ahead and try the peach hun If it's still too "orange" add just a drop(and I do mean a drop) of "royal blue" or any blue (the opposite of orange) It will tone down the orangeness without actually changing the color.
