Aesthetics Faceup Critique on First BJD

Ooh, she’s lovely! I love the gold highlights on her eyelids. Bravo for a first time!

 

I think she looks fine. You did a good job on her

 

I think it looks lovely! The blushing is really soft and natural and I love the freckles and shape of the eyebrows! I also love the gold eyelids good job for your first one!

 

For a faceup that looks really amazing, it's hard to give any constructive criticism. If you're looking for ways to improve, I guess all I can really suggest is making sure your pencils are very sharp when drawing eyebrows and lashes. Your lines are a little grainy, but that seems to be an issue with dull pencils or the cheaper brands. I don't know what brand of pencil you use, but if it's a cheaper one, I say your work is phenomenal, and you should invest in higher quality materials. It will be so worth it for you!

Keep up the great work! Would love to see any future faceups you do!

 

Teach me sempai! I hope my first faceup can look half as nice as this hehe xo

 

She looks really nice! I have to agree that there is not much to critique here, you definitely know what you're doing. Since you specifically asked for it though, I will say that I find her eyebrow hairs a little too uniform, and the eyelashes a little clunky. Getting pencils sharp enough is a challenge- you may want to try using a knife or sandpaper instead of a sharpener. Sometimes you can get an ultra sharp point that way, though you will need to do it a LOT because even one line can dull the point too much. I found it incredibly annoying when I still used pencils, it's part of why I switched to acrylics. Which you may want to look into because acrylics can give you the most beauuuutiful tapered lines, and based on your skills here I think you could figure it out in no time.

 

oh wow she looks lovely :3

 

She looks really pretty! This is amazing for your first faceup on a bjd.

 

This face looks great! The eyebrows look a little bit like unfinished but I especially like the eyelashes and lips .

 

The eyelids are just stunning! Her freckles are a nice touch, too. If I HAD to give you critique (and I’m stretching) some smaller lighter freckles would give her more depth and a softer more natural look.

What did you use for the lids? I can’t get over how luminous they are!

 

Very cute!

 

I really like your faceup. The only improvement I would do is to vary the size of the freckles - make some smaller. Still, what a great job!

 

I love the lips!

 

Looking at these pictures I thought, "No way this is your first face!" It looks sooo well done. Teach me your secret lol

 

This is absolutely beautiful! I have no critique as I’m a newbie in all respects, but I was wondering; how did you get that sort of water-splatter effect in her freckles? I think it’s gorgeous and soft

 

Wow I’m seriously impressed! She looks gorgeous! I don’t think I would have been able to do this even after the tenth time of trying! She is perfect!

 

Thanks so much!! I’ll check it out!

 

very nice

 

Personally, I feel like the lower lashes are a bit extreme, but she is certainly a lovely girl nonetheless! I really love her freckles!

 

Wow, you did an amazing job! I love her freckles; they add so much character.
