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!

Easy Obitsu doll wig in one hour

I am in love with obitsu dolls, their pose-ability is far superior compare to ordinary BJD dolls (IMHO). I can go on and on about how great the obitsu dolls are, including many ways they can be customised etc, but this post is about an easy way (and cheap too) of making wig for her. It is not always easy to find a suitable non-child like looking wig for obitsu head due to its small size. So, I have purchased a fancy red short wig from poundland (for a £1 obviously), then un-stitched the long strands of hair from the wig cap itself (making sure that the strips of hair are still stitched together). Then I've glued (Glu&Fix all purpose clear glue) them to the wig-cap I've made from fabric, starting from the bottom to the top in circular way. Then I have rolled a long strip of hair into a reel so to create a pony tail which was also glued to the top of the finished wig. After that I have cut the fringe. And it was done. There are many ways of making wigs for dolls and this one took me about an hour to complete.

Here is the finished product:

Big hair day, just the way I like my own hair to be :D
