BJD Doll FAQ

Please read this if you are interested to learn more about the dolls I photograph. I dont have time to keep answering the same questions over and over again >_< I will be updating this journal entry as time goes on. Feel free to add a question in the comments section and I will try to answer it. ------------------- BASICS What are these dolls? They are BJD - ball jointed dolls. If you search Google with those keywords you will get plenty of results with companies and other info about them. This is the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-jointed_doll. Also this LJ answers some questions too http://bjd-wtf.livejournal.com . If you want to learn more, I would suggest Den of Angels forum (http://www.denofangels.com/forums/). Do you make them? No I don't make the actual doll, I don't sculpt it. I am a customizer, I paint their faceups. I am basically a makeup artist for resin dolls. You can fi

I never repaint any dolls before but can you use prisma colors or acrylic for the makeup rather than using pastels? And afterwards, what and how do you use to seal up the makeup with to avoid any smudges or do you just leave it the way it is?

Hi, I know you must get 10000 questions a day, But I was wondering if you've ever repaint the whole body of one of your monster high dolls or if the lighting in the photos are just different? I just bought my MH doll the other day (Frankie) and I want to re paint her a new skin tone and I was curious how I should go about this if at all. So I thought I'd ask someone with more practice, and in case anyone else was wondering too. -Thanks ^^

So you want to repaint the whole body and face in a different colour? Yes it is possible, I have done that with resin dolls before, but I would not do it with my own dolls because it is just too much of a pain making sure that no chipping happens afterwards. The fastest and easiest way would be using an airbrush and then seal it as much as you can. You can also use pastels but you will be very very limited with the colour possibilities, because of the way pastels work as a material on an already coloured background. Good luck

what dye do you use to color the hair and what kind of hair color remover did you use to remove the original color hair?

*AndrejA May 26, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I use regular human hair dyes. I do not use any "hair color remover" because I do not reuse the old hair. Instead I make a wig from scratch using organic or synthetic fibers. My Doll F.A.Q. linked in the description has a Wig section that will give you additional information.

how do you re-root hair?

*AndrejA May 26, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I do not

I make a wig.

~Impulse-Comics May 26, 2013 Student Artist

oh okay, you do great work.
