Even though I have been in the BJD hobby since 2004 I have only ever done 3 of my own faceups.I guess I did not want my dolls to be embarrassed to show their faces to anyone hah.

But recently I decided to try my hand again. I have no natural talent for drawing or painting so this is pretty challenging.

I wish I could find the picture of my first one it was pretty awful

So this is Soah who is blank face until I started working on her. I need to wipe it all again and redo it . I am working on the sad faces, I also messed up and put to much glue on her eyelashes and when I went to clean it off I made a mess. The eyelashes are wrong anyhow I want some thinner brown ones for her. The lip color is wrong too, I want it a softer pink , its too mauve-y right now.







Beware glue eyelashes yuck! I am going to wipe this tomorrow and start again.

She actually looks really good I like her lips

I like where you are taking her! Are you going to go with the pink or black hair?
The people who get it perfect from the start are pretty rare, so don't beat yourself up!

I will probably go with the pink hair, lighter color wigs. So I will use a lighter brown to paint her eyelashes on the bottom and hopefully get them thinner.

Also to line her eyes a softer brown.

Yes I have seen some amazing work by people who say its the first time!
