I finished my first go round at attempting body blushing on one of my dolls last week, and remembered to take a few pictures over the weekend. It's a bit less subtle than in the photos (bad phone camera/photo set up), and I'll probably go back over some things in the future since I'm planning to add some scars to this doll, but for now I'm decently happy with how it turned out! I definitely learned a lot about how to work with sealant and pastels on resin. The bit I'm least satisfied with is the nails if I stare at them too long, but I'll just have to practice a bit more. I also re-discovered how the nails on these hands (Doll Leaves teenage dream 3, I believe) just... don't really have nails on some fingers.
I like how subtle it is! I've over-blushed a doll before and it was not pretty This has a really nice, natural feel to it. Once you have the nails how you like them, you could kinda create the appearance of nail beds by putting a thin layer or gloss on it to simulate fingernails? That might help differentiate between the tip of the finger and the rest of it.
@Sephora thank you! I think I might try watercolor pencils the next go round with the nails, since I've seen some people use those, and I think it might help solve my layers that are too thick problem, and then will probably slap some gloss on them as well. @usvankynsi I had a very good time with blushing! I know some people don't like it, but it felt less intimidating than jumping straight to some of the other mods that I want to eventually do. I will say I learned a lot about how dusty my apartment is!! @Rosenfinch thank you!!
I just tried my hand at body blushing last weekend and I've got to say as a fellow newbie, I'm so impressed at how well your blushing is!! I love your choice of blushing placement on the upper belly. It looks so good!
@YOUKAIMOON thank you!! I hope you're able to try your own someday, as I had a lot of fun! @Nivids oh thank you!! I'm pretty pleased with how it came out too
Oooh it turned out so nice! I agree it looks very light and not too bold at all. The nails are a cute shade ^u^
@P0laris thank you!! I am fairly happy with the color on the nails, just need a bit of practice so it is smoother
