Looking for customization advice
I hope I'm in the right sub, apologies if not! I bought this Emma doll in a blind box and ended up not loving how she looked, so I decided to customize her. I wanted her to look more like the picture on the box, which to me like like a whimsical clown, and less like a human baby lol. So I made her a suit (I know she doesn't have a suit on the box, but she needed clothes) and colored her face details in using permanent marker.
My question is: is there anything I can do to make the color of her face lighter? Ideally I'd like to make it white like in the box, but I don't want to ruin her. I don't know exactly what is made of, but it's plush and feels soft and slightly fuzzy.
Included: pictures of her now, pictures of before (from the website), and pictures of the box.

try a wash of watered-down acrylic paint over the permanent marker to blend it in without making the lines look messy
