BJD Faceup Tutorial - Part 1by *RoosterBlue

Here is Part 1 of my BJD Faceup tutorial! The second part will not be shown until after Christmas, since this particular head is for *trowicia as her Christmas gift. XD So until she sees it completed, no one else can. ;D But I suppose in this state, it's okay, right?

A very large file! Just a warning to anyone still doesn't have high speed internet. (Come on, if Hopewell can at least have DSL, there is no excuse!)

If you have any questions in regards to the tutorial, please feel free to ask!

Critique by *cheshirepanda Feb 9, 2010, 10:50:13 PM
This tutorial is very helpful!

When I first started blushing dolls, I didn't realize how much of a difference washing them before hand made so much of a difference! A very important step a lot of other tutorials leave out.

I've never heard of soft pastels, they seem to be so much more useful then having to shave some off.

When I find myself blushing my dolls, I have a wide variety of brushes. But which one to choose?? Hard bristled, soft, big, small, flat, fanned?? I really love how you mentioned the sizes and shapes! It really helps, especially those who are new to faceups.

ALSO, your technique used for blushing is so soft, and it helps show where you should blush (When I first started I did it ALL over! Bad idea)

I can't wait for the next installment!!

This is great! I'm not confident enough yet to re-do my doll's whole face yet, but I was wondering... It's a factory faceup. Do you think I could use some acrylics and/or watercolor pencils to just ADD to the faceup without extra sealing? Not the whole face, just like a tattoo/facial marking type thing.

This was really helpful, thank you. I was wondering; do you use the same finishing powder as a primer and to fix when you've finished painting? x

Thank you much for posting this! This was the first thing that caught my eye when I did a google search lol. Looks comprehensible enough so now I'm even more eager to get my new doll :3 I've never painted a figure so this will be interesting.

Aww, you are so welcome! Any excuse to spend money! XD You sound like a person right after my own heart! HAHA!

And if you want to reuse your eyelashes, all you have to do is use a bit of acetone on a q-tip and dab at the glue on the inside of the eyewells. If you don't want to use the eyelashes again -- RIP AWAY! lol

Hello I am looking for the Zoukeimura finishing powder but can't seem to get it in Australia, is there an alternative for priming my BJD?
