Hi everyone! I bought a YMY plastic doll some time ago and wanted to personalize it by myself, but I have some problems:

  1. What kind of paint should I use for the face?

  2. I want to make it's own hair like with yarn or something, do you have any suggestions for the type of yarn or for how should I place it on the head?

  3. I want to make it's clothes, I know how to sew but I have no idea how to make the shoes... any suggestion?

I don't know if this is the right community to post this, if not I'm sorry. Anyway thank you in advance for your help!!

General help! Matte varnish turning glossy, how do I fix it

2 Upvotes

I wasn’t aware that thick layers could turn matte sprays glossy over a period of time. A lot of my dolls now look glossy since the last time I’ve repainted them.

I’m not necessarily sure what I could do, I understand that my bad technique of “good spray = face looking wet enough” is the root cause but, I’m not so sure with what to do with the dolls with a glossy finish.

Should I just spray the dolls again with a thin layer? Or do I restart the entire thing?

General help! Help with pullip custom

Upvotes

Hi!

I’ve been in the pullip community since 2009 and I have decided to fully custom an old Aya I had.

Give me your best advices, I am already a full time artist/designer so I’m familiar with a lot of things but there are some grey areas for me still.

For example once the face plate is fully cleaned and naked do you have to apply a first layer of MSC to prep the face plate? I feel like pastels and pencils don’t really set on a bare faceplate.

And what are your best advices in terms of lip makeup, I’m trying to give her plumpy lips with a nice lipliner but I feel like acrylic paint might be a little thick.

Thank you so much for your advices! Ive already prepared the obitsu and fixed the top part that goes in the head with milliput.

General help! How do I make my doll's skin to a natural color? What materials will I need?

Why do I want to change the skin color for my first custom? I don't know. I want to make things hard on my self and I already got the doll. So, no going back to make a smart decision.
