First bjd faceup

May 5, 2024

Watch Thread
    1. My first attempt on doing a faceup on a bjd. I have repainted a few monster high dolls before, but never got around to try painting a bjds face, since i was scared to mess up such an expensive doll. But recently i bought this fatemoons head and some msc to try it out. I'm quite happy how it turned out and I have to say it's a lot of fun, so I'm thinking of doing some more.

    3. This is fantastic! What did you use for the faceup? I'm especially interested in the linework.

    7. Wow, it seems your repainting MH certainly paid off. Clean, precise, simple yet very very effective! I second what has been said about your line work. Crikey I’ve been doing my own faceups for over a decade and still can’t get such beautifully neat lashes. I think you’ll be one to watch!

    11. The face up turned out so pretty. I love the illustration-like details. Her eyes are especially captivating- would you mind sharing where they came from?
