Hello, the ones who are reading this very first post in this blog!
I've blogged about a year now in my Finnish photography blog
Havaintoharha and finally I thought I should try blogging in English! I say good luck to me and I hope this is going to live more than one post in a month, hehe.
This is going to be doll themed blog, but I MAY post some original pictures too, if I feel like. But just now this is going to be mainly a blog about fashion dolls and Asian ball jointed dolls.
But because this is my first blog post in here, let me also introduce the first "realistic" custom on Monster High doll. She is Death Tired Ghoulia:

SURU RUUSU
First I tried to do the whole make up with color pencils, but OF COURSE DUH that didn't work. xD So I switched to acrylic paint, and in the eyes you can see the difference of the paint and the fail color pencils. The reason why I wanted to do the whole make up with pencils is because I'm afraid of using brushes, because my hand shakes alot. But, like I learned here, if you just keep doing, the hand stops shaking and you can do alot of good things in the face.
The second thing which I learned is not to use coat like you use them with BJD. If you use it as often and as much than with BJD's, the face ends up all sticky. So I need to do the face again, and maybe only use the coat under the make up and then in the end sealing the face up. I hope that does work. It if it's still sticky, I need to start over, and leave the coat alone. xD;
I used some pastel chalks in the lips and as eyeshadow. And I'm kind of glad I need to remake her face. That means I can do better job with it. :D

And so we come to the end of this first blog post. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did! And all advices for doing make up are welcome! This is first time I repaint a vinyl doll, so that is pretty new material for me. I would be glad if someone would share me making tips, like what materials to use, and if the coat is a wrong way to go. :s
