Anthro ball jointed doll (BJD) Little Minipin Hujoo rabbit face and body blushing

I was made aware that in one of my video's where I was painting my Hujoo cat Freya BJD doll I've missed out a section about the blushing. So, to remedy the situation I have created another video for the actual body blushing for one of my hujoo 1/8 dolls (made from ABS plastic). The rabbit is tiny and it was not easy to blush it.

Anyhow!

This is my way of face and body blushing for BJDs and obitsu dolls.
As I have mentioned previously, I use Humbrol 48 Matte acrylic spray varnish for priming and setting. I have employed various soft brushes (quality make up brushes are the best (IMHO), also natural fibres brushes pick the pigment better), soft pastels, sanding paper, melamine sponge, watercolour pencils, water and diluted acrylic paint. Also, I sometimes use damp/wet brush and dry sponge, as I believe it gives better control over the depths of the colours. Please note that this is NOT a teaching video but merely a demonstration of how I bring my dolls to live :) Enjoy!

See you soon!

Anthro ball jointed doll (BJD) Freya face up and body painting - snow leopard

Phew!

I have received another anthro ball jointed doll (BJD) from the UK supplier this time, though I was rather disappointed about the quality of the received Freya. Her headcap was hardly on because the fixtures were too big, so I had to use a knife to shave the excess of plastic off in order to fit the headcap properly. I was surprised that she was not damaged in transit because she was just shoved in a plastic bag and posted like that to me. I would not order from this supplier again!

Anyway, I've decided to give my new Freya (she is 1/6 bjd) a face up and body up(?) with a bit of a blushing.

Here is the final result: Freya - the snow leopard.

I have primed her whole body with the humbrol acrylic varnish in matt (#49) and painted with black acrylic paints (undiluted). Blushed her cheeks, forehead and body with chalk pastels, sponged her claws with pink paint, sprayed with the same varnish again and it was done. This varnish is brilliant, it is very hard wearing and 2 layers have sealed my work for ever.

I've decided to show you Phoebe's basic face up I did the other day as well. 

Phoebe has a special place in my heart, she reminds me of my pet rat :D

Her face up is pretty basic, so I will probably add extra details to her face and body.

Thank you for your interest!
