Face-up on your First doll; Brave Enough?

Absolutly yes!
In fact, I'm gonna do it!

 

I plan on buying heads seperately to practice doing face-ups in the future.​

 

Oh la la! I got my first set of dolls together and one had the default face-up while the other was blank... I attempted my first face up on the blank doll and I must say for the exception for the eyebrows, it came out rather cool!

 

I kinda want to as (if I ever actually get a dollfie) the character I wanna do has some pretty specific markings on his face but I'd be scared of messing it up, however since my parents wont let me have one anyway I suppose it doesn't really matter

 

Definitely not. I could never do a good job on a face up (my painting skills aren't bad, they simply do not exist) and I'd probably mess up so badly I wouldn't want to look at him again. Anyway, it's partly the default face up that made me fall in love with him. However, I will get a pet doll free with my boy and I might consider having a go at a face up on that.

 

I don't know necessarily that I'd be brave enough it weren't for the fact that I loathe to pay money for something I'm fairly confident I could manage myself. Besides which what I want is so specific that I'd really rather I keep not being able to get it exactly correct than pay for something that probably wouldn't turn out as close as I'd like to what I want.

 

I would be way too nervous to do it myself. Also, my hands shake when I get nervous so it would probably come out like Frankenstein's monster.

 

I did and it turned out better than i thought ^_^

I am going to touch up the eyebrows a bit though lol

 

I'm gonna do it!

I'm a painter anyway, so it's just a different canvas. I'm confident!

probably overconfident....

 

eheh, I voted for this poll ages ago for "Nah, I'm too nervous". Now I actually have my first doll with a blank head I just ate my own words

 

XD actually I was brave enough to do it. I had no practice before hand either. I thought it looked good enough the first time buuuut now that I've redone it I think it looks SO much better. Hopefully the third time will be perfect X3

 

I do all my dolls faceups myself. I prefer it that way because then I get exactly what I want.

 

Haha I already did a few days ago!

 

I voted that I would do it on my first one. It takes a lot of falling down to get up again and you've got to start somewhere. I figured if I drew well and already have some painting experience, that carrying it over to a resin mold wouldn't be too difficult at all. It's just the matter of getting the right supplies I think is more difficult.

 

I would love to do all of my doll's faceups, but I can't as I don't know really how to go about doing them ( the odds and ends of faceups) But I would deffinitley do them if I learned how to

 

First doll? Nu uh. I'm gonna get it all done professionally, because I want him to look really good. I'll probably go out and buy a spare head later to practice on until I feel comfortable with doing face ups on my doll.

 

Well, I didnt on my first, second...or ninth doll. But, I am hoping to obtain a blank head or 2 to play with.

One of my other ideas is to practise on a cheaper obitsu head

 

When I started planning on buying a doll, I already desided that I do her face up by myself. (Yes, her, my first doll was meant to be MSD sized girl, buuut it ended up to be a tiny boy. :00 Followed by another tiny boy... Annnnd I still don't have that girl. :'D)

I think that doing face ups is the "thing" for me in dollies. I'm totally not any expert with it, but I like it. My face ups don't looks so good, what they would look if they were done by real artists, but at least I am the only one who I can blame for that.
I kind of feel that the doll isn't mine, if I haven't done the face up by myself.
If I have had ordered my first doll with a face up, I would probably have ended up doing it by myself later anyway.
I'm so curious, and I want to try everything.

 

Not only would I do it, I have done it My first two dolls both got face-ups by me. And they got replacement face-ups at some point too - that's the nice thing, you can always try again later if you want. It only costs you the materials.

I read up a lot of tutorials, made sure I had all my materials on hand and then, at last, I did my first face-up.

Hold on, I'll show you...


My first face-up on one of my first dolls ANYWAY, it was the first. I later went back and painted the lips again later

My second face-up was also done on one of my first dolls - Here

 

I did face-up my first doll, and I had to do it ...My first doll is U-noa boy, there is no face-up option with it.
I tried many times until satisfy me. Now I enjoying face-up my doll
