Incredible! Thank you so much for such an excellent video. The smoothness and color distribution is beautiful. I've experimented with simple acrylic paints and sealants, but your technique is far superior. I'm thinking it might be time to invest in an airbrush! If you don't mind me asking, how long does it stay on around the joints, in your experience?
Ahhw I'm glad you liked it! And thank you so much!! 💕💕 Getting an airbrush really was a milestone for me, because it's so much faster to paint a surface and there is no brush which would get you the smoothness of an airbrushed surface. 💕 And if you're careful with your doll and don't move her too harsh, it usually stays on quite well. Important for that is also, that you don't spray the color too thick. Also I've made the experience that the color on the joints stays on better on used dolls with a bit more loose joints, than brand new ones. :)
was about to ask the same thing about durability xD thanks for this video! I guess it will be helpful once I get the courage to actually try out my airbrush. (und als fellow German, magst du mir verraten, wo du primer und finish gekauft hast? Online?)
Mi G Hey hey! :D Wenn du eine Airbrush hast: probier sie aus. Du wirst sie lieben! ^^ (auch wenn das sauber machen einen in den Wahnsinn treiben kann XD) und den Primer habe ich bei Amazon bestellt, den Finisher habe ich bei mir im Baumarkt gekauft :)
xXMintyPawXx Well, I can see the point of the paint...so the scalp doesn't show too much under the hair...but absolutely, remove it for a reroot, especially if you're changing the hair color.
I honestly want to try and make a chubby doll, I think it would be really cute to just sculpt a bigger frame onto a doll base. I need to try at some point
Neon_Dragongirl Le Fabulous but it's not really something unexpected. Irony would be like a cat chasing a dog, you don't expect it to be that way. In a skin changing tutorial you would expect something with an unnatural skin tone to be used, in this case a zombie.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just started doing costums myself, and I've been wondering about this for a while. Thank you for your awesome tut's, please keep making them!!
I found tweezers were hard to work with when removing hair because the hole for some doll heads is too small to maneuver the tweezers to grab. So instead I used a very tiny fine crochet hook and it pulled everything right out and I went back with the tweezers to pull out all that hair gunk. I'd say even a dental hook or a thick bent paper clip could also work well if tweezers let one down. (Beautiful work btw)
Thanks for letting me know that thing you used to repaint her skin exists, I'm trying to erase a mistake I made, and this video is really helping a lot! 🧡💛🧡
This is the first video I watched just now, and I went to your channel and clicked on the recent vid I thought you were a different person!! 😂😂 you were so young This is a great video and I love your voice and video now ❤
I wanted to know if there is other alternatives for painting a doll besides airbrushing like: using a brush or sponge with acrylic paint or spray painting? And can this work with a Barbie doll? I have nothing but Barbies and I want to change the skin tone of a few of them to gray...
Pastels and chalk aren't the same thing, but yeah pastel would work best for what you describe. You can check out dollightful's umbreon video for an example, but she used black and it took like 8 layers to get a good saturation, so for a lighter color like grey it might take more than 10 layers.
For people who can't afford the fine acrylic ink & airbrush, or for those who are time poor, it's actually cheaper to buy the body on Aliexpress.com Just search "monster high doll body" you can get the pink and beige skin tone ones for around USD $2 to $6 each
That's right and it's exactly what I did, I bought two white bodies for my Pearl and Peri Serpentine doll. Unfortunately it turned out that the heads are actually grey and not white. So I have to recolor the skin of the bodies since there are no grey bodies on AliExpress (or at least I didn't find any).
Almost everybody uses Mr. Clean/Clear to put some texture for doll and thanks to You finally!! I can use something else than this Mr. Clear. I mean on your spray can was name of this spray in my language
tabkins probably...I'll be making a Tiana custom as soon as I can get another Pullip kit, but their darkest tone is still too light. Hope it does work!
I actually just found a airbrush set for $74 comes with everything that would be good for a beginner. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MPWXDIZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AG4SP3NVGD1DE
Hey, I’m learning to airbrush dolls and I was curious. How do you get the paint not to rub off the joints? Because I’ve gotten a really pretty even finish on my doll, but it keeps rubbing off of the joints. I heard some people say you sand them down, but I thought I would ask and see what your thoughts were.
FINALLY!!! Someone who seems to think like me and SAND SEAMLINES before doing a custom. I see people spend SO MUCH time and material on customizing "cheap" dolls like MH, EAH a.s.o. (in comparison to BJDs they are cheap!) and making really great OOAKs out of them but the NEVER SAND these horrible lines down..... It makes EVERY DOLL, no matter how much they are worth, looking terrible cheap.... many people don't even notice.... but now I know, I'm not alone.... :-)... Btw, the primer you use in your video, does it work on resin too? After changing from MSC to Citadel, I thought I found the right one but on my current FU I have terrible problems with the sealer again... everything went fine and but while wiping away just a wrong lash, small parts spits up.... So I have to do it all again (work of two days...for the trashcan..)... I wiped all away and made a new base sealing but I feel the sealant just don't stick on the resin... Even when it dried overnight, you can wipe it away... Never had this before..
Yes, I airbrushed them, let them dry, moved the joint and painted the parts, that were still missing, and so on. :) Of course I sanded and primed them before as well :)
I never realized how zombie dead was she until saw her with alive color, lol. I loved your tutorial is cute, a bit creepy to think how badly rotten and dead was... However, In my country would be too hard and expensive to afford those tools, I was thinking to use acrilyc paintings and a brush, like those acrylics tehy sell in any stationary shop... :v if I cant find a blue haired doll of that size, most likely could be a repaiinted Ghoulia XD
Du bist auch aus Deutschland! >3< Wie cool!!! Und das Video is auch toll, ich glaub ich will auch mit sowas anfangen, also halt Monser High Puppen "bemalen"( ich weiß nicht, wie man so was nennt... 😅). Cooles Video!
Thank you for the video that, even after 7 years, I'm sure continues to help a lot of people... and I'm sorry for my comment on such an old video. Could you recommend something that would allow me to cover as much of the tons used in Barbie without having to do so much mixing? I wanted to paint it so that it was close to either the Neutra tone (Top Model Barbie 2007) or the LA Tan tone (Versace doll, Versus doll).
Hi Moonlight Jewel, I hope you are doing well? This was AWESOME! GREAT Job in the prep work, detailing, and repaint. I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing your talents, time, ideas, and videos. Wishing you the very BEST! I subscribed: liked & shared. Take care, Keep on Dreaming, and Crafting your passions. Super Fantastic job. Peace & Joy :D Have a wonderful weekend. :D O' not only did I learn some thing, you made me smile. Thank you once again :D
Yes, if you water the acrylics down and use a lot of layers and some soft sanding in between, you can get a very smooth surface as well :) and any kind of clear sealent will do :)
your tutorial is great but i'll skip the compressor part, as i'm broke and wouldn't have a long use of such an expensive tool. i'm planning a repaint on a MH Spectra doll, because she's got the right colors of skin and hair for the character i want to transform her into. two days ago i've been to a craft shop to see if i could find a transparent primer, like this "mister super clear" spray that (almost) everybody use. i only found a white primer for plastic. i took it anyway because i thought i could use it for other projects (and as Spectra got transparent hands and feet that i'd rather cover). but watching at your video, and seeing the primer your used, i thought "maybe i could find it easier in a car shop!" and maybe same for the varnish... by the way, i still don't understand why some people insist so much to use nail polish remover without acetone... except maybe for the fumes. well, thanks for feeding my reflexions ;)
How well does the paint around the joints hold up? I find with FBRs (full body repaints) even with sanding the joints still peel / scrape. Mind you, I use a sponge because I don't have an airbrush.
does skin coloured spray paint work? i'm doing sailor chibi moon from a my little pony equestria girls fluttershy doll (they look like monster high dolls but they have horse ears at the top of their head, which i will wrap hair around the ears to make chibiusa's buns.) and i happen to have light tan spray paint. And i don't own an airbrush, do you think just spraying directly onto the doll (while protecting the hair) will do okay?
Man..she mentions when taking the hair out it only took her 5 to 7 min. Mine took way longer. I didnt finish it in one day because my finger eventually ended up hurting (and I used really hot water as well)
Hey luv.. Im getting a curvy barbie doll Wednesday... Now i want to make a look alike for me. To mod her i only have self hardening clay... Will that stick or would i have to glue it and will it be fragile? And to change the skin tone i only have acrylic primer.... Will that work with soft vinyl for the head? Sorry to dive bomb you with a crap ton of questions..... I just want my look alike to be accurate lol
Jestem zpolski i oglądam ten kanał od ponad roku (ale mniejsza o to). Oglądam sobie spokojnie filmik i nagle bam! To przecież po polsku na tym sprayu. *tym co używała przed malowaniem *
How would you change the skin tone on a Pullip doll? For my custom I’m trying to give her darker brown skin and the mocha skin tone isn’t dark enough for the look I’m going for
hey thanks for this but i want to know the color last long in the head? i dont care about the body cause i know the joins suck for this things and over time the reveal the original colour so i think im going to do it the hard way and just paint the head and use another body like eah or something so yeah the head does the paint come out ???
It is absolutely stuck to the head, especially when you sealed it during the face up. But it's better, to make a wig than a reroot, because with a reroot you have to be careful again :)
Moonlight Jewel how hard is to reroot a repainted head? cause i dont like wigs that much i preffer to reroot. can i like paint the head seal it and wet it? cause maybe i can paint the head heat it so if soft and reroot her and finish with a face up?
CuteCupcake i have seen people using pastels and msc but only on the faces and acrylics on the body but well the airbrush is the best option cause it leaves the smooth finish, and the pastels for the head i think it should be very pigmented pastels so you dont have to add too many layers of msc.
You can still change the colour of the skin by either: dyeing the doll using dye. There's some tutorials for that floating online so make sure to read those to get the right dye for the plastic (note: it can't dye every single plastic but it does a good job and it's great for joints.) Another way is using lots of layers of msc (mr super clear) and pastels. This can take a while tho😅 i find this method great for body blushing but a lot of work to change the skintone of an entire doll. Next is probably the cheapest and easiest and that is; just painting it by hand! U can achieve very similar results doing it by hand. The trick is to thin out ur paint and do it in thin, even strokes and to let each layer dry. There are tutorials for each of these methods online and on youtube so i highly suggest checking those out! I want to get an air brush too one day but i assure u many many artists have been able to achieve this same look without it so don't worry!:D As for which method is the best; each have their pros and cons so I'd just look into which is more accessible, cheapest, easiest for u as well as what's ur preference. All can chip or scratch off over time except for the dyeing technique. However, manufacturers sometimes use different plastics for different parts so sometimes not all body parts on the doll will dye. I'm kind of lazy to blab on about too much, plus i don't want to info dump u too much😂 But if u need anything else let me know💖 Good luck!!💓💓💓
Do you have to sand the body before airbrushing? I have a very expensive set of dolls I'm eventually going to repaint, but I'm scared of messing it up.
Incredible! Thank you so much for such an excellent video. The smoothness and color distribution is beautiful. I've experimented with simple acrylic paints and sealants, but your technique is far superior. I'm thinking it might be time to invest in an airbrush!

Moonlight Jewel Excellent tips--thank you so much again! You really are quite generous to share your expertise. I can't wait to get an airbrush now!
You're welcome! I'm happy if I can help! :)
was about to ask the same thing about durability xD thanks for this video! I guess it will be helpful once I get the courage to actually try out my airbrush.
(und als fellow German, magst du mir verraten, wo du primer und finish gekauft hast? Online?)
Mi G
Hey hey! :D Wenn du eine Airbrush hast: probier sie aus. Du wirst sie lieben! ^^ (auch wenn das sauber machen einen in den Wahnsinn treiben kann XD) und den Primer habe ich bei Amazon bestellt, den Finisher habe ich bei mir im Baumarkt gekauft :)
FINALLY! Someone who has the common sense to remove the paint under the hair so that it doesn't look weird af
It's always best to have a 100% even base color. And removing the head paint is really important, so that it looks even! :)
Yes! I always thought; why dont people just remove the paint, even if its just a reroot, because it makes it look more natural
Exactly!!
xXMintyPawXx Well, I can see the point of the paint...so the scalp doesn't show too much under the hair...but absolutely, remove it for a reroot, especially if you're changing the hair color.
I honestly want to try and make a chubby doll, I think it would be really cute to just sculpt a bigger frame onto a doll base. I need to try at some point
I know it’s been a year, but check out Dollightful’s latest stock box doll.
Maybe if you got some good quality clay, then molded a bigger base to add on, let it dry and paint.
You’d have some trouble with maintaining joint movement if your using a really petite body, but it’d be interesting to see!
Or like they said in German: ACETONE! xD jajajajaj
I wasn't prepared for the lovely accent and voice to suddenly drop like that. Hilarious!
Haha thank you :)
Sub'd for this. Reminds me of going to the nail salon in Berlin!
Trafalgar D. Oswald das war lustig
Trafalgar D. Oswald i couldn't take her serious for the rest of the video XD
It's Ironic how you turned Ghoulia into a human.
Tashiaka *irony
Rayne Animates how?
Cynthia Brogan
Ghoulia is a zombie. That's why.
Neon_Dragongirl Le Fabulous but it's not really something unexpected. Irony would be like a cat chasing a dog, you don't expect it to be that way. In a skin changing tutorial you would expect something with an unnatural skin tone to be used, in this case a zombie.
I think we found a necromancer.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just started doing costums myself, and I've been wondering about this for a while. Thank you for your awesome tut's, please keep making them!!
Thank you!!
Best to used old second hand dolls, rather than new and well kept.
Definitely a beginner and Goodwill has these dolls sometimes for less than a dollar if you can find them
ACETON! Hahahaha richtig so :D
Haha ich habe auch einen lachanfall bekommen😂😂😂
Anna Lisa Ruf ich auch haha xD
Honestly I was looking for a video like this...Thank you so much for making it! It really helped!!
you have such a beautiful and gentle voice, very relaxing and overall a very beautiful video... can't wait for more!
Omg I love your soft voice! What I don’t like is the number of subscribers you have! YOU NEED MOAR

Omg this video is so informative and high quality
You definitely deserve more subs
Lots of love ❤️
Anyone else think ghoulia's face mold resembles Cleo after the skin repaint?
I'm polish and i'm saying "acetone" just like you but a little harder (SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH)
Julien Mays też jestem z Polski✋
Julien Mays your English is perfect!
Twój angielski był doskonały. (Jestem Anglikiem. )

What ever your English is close enough
Thanks for letting me know that thing you used to repaint her skin exists, I'm trying to erase a mistake I made, and this video is really helping a lot! 🧡💛🧡
Great custom doll ☺ looking forward to trying this out soon ☺, Thank you ☺😊
This is the first video I watched just now, and I went to your channel and clicked on the recent vid I thought you were a different person!! 😂😂 you were so young
This is a great video and I love your voice and video now ❤

crazyaoifangirl you can use acrylic paint and fine detail brushes and also you can use any doll even barbies :)
crazyaoifangirl it'll scrape off extremely easily
crazyaoifangirl some barbies have rubbery vinyl legs which you can dye it with fabric dye, but you can dye it darker but can't lighten the color
A little late, but I saw some ppl here on youtube, repainting the body with pastell chalks. But it takes a lot of time
Pastels and chalk aren't the same thing, but yeah pastel would work best for what you describe. You can check out dollightful's umbreon video for an example, but she used black and it took like 8 layers to get a good saturation, so for a lighter color like grey it might take more than 10 layers.

U did so so so good 😳
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I cannot find move able doll body for darker skin tones. Your the best!
You're very much welcome!
Almost everybody uses Mr. Clean/Clear to put some texture for doll and thanks to You finally!! I can use something else than this Mr. Clear. I mean on your spray can was name of this spray in my language
You're voice is relaxing.
bei so einer tollen aussprache vom wort Aceton, musste ich einfach abonnieren, mach immer weiter so xD
Can you do this to create dark brown skin? Would you do this? I desperately need to see it.
tabkins probably...I'll be making a Tiana custom as soon as I can get another Pullip kit, but their darkest tone is still too light. Hope it does work!
You should be able to do this for any skintone.
You can also use the technique Dollightful uses by layering MSC and pastels; she finds it keeps the joints from chipping as much too
Or like you say in German: ACETON
I'd love to repaint my draculaura doll but she's a 17 inch doll and I don't have an airbrush...to much money
you could just do a faceup on her instead of fully repainting her ^^
lenkiyoumi there is different ways to repaint dolls
if you look after an airbrush carefully, there does exist cheaper ones from around 36 dollars. Good for beginners i guess.
I actually just found a airbrush set for $74 comes with everything that would be good for a beginner.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MPWXDIZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AG4SP3NVGD1DE
Like she said, the paint she used can also be brushed on with a regular brush instead of an airbrush.
Hey, I’m learning to airbrush dolls and I was curious. How do you get the paint not to rub off the joints?
Because I’ve gotten a really pretty even finish on my doll, but it keeps rubbing off of the joints. I heard some people say you sand them down, but I thought I would ask and see what your thoughts were.
that's the first monster high doll I've seen that was actually pretty from the start.
Doesn't the paint scrape off at the joints?
PickleKitten Gaming eventually it will, but it should last you a bit.
I just started repainting monster high doll 🤗it helps me a lot thank😍😍😍
Thanks for the tutorial! I will have to try this
thank you for this tutorial😻😻😻
This was very helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm happy this was helpful!

Will the paint on the joints chip if they are used?
Thank for sharing. I bought the plastic primer but when I sprayed it turn out to grey color does it happened to you too?
i love that you showed how to repaint the body too😱😊 i hate the horrible colours of this kind of dolls..
can you do a tutorial with how to use it with a brush? also a tutorial about what to look for in a varnish and primer like the one you sealed it?
Hi Moonlight Jewel, I hope you are doing well? This was AWESOME! GREAT Job in the prep work, detailing, and repaint. I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing your talents, time, ideas, and videos. Wishing you the very BEST! I subscribed: liked & shared. Take care, Keep on Dreaming, and Crafting your passions. Super Fantastic job. Peace & Joy :D Have a wonderful weekend. :D O' not only did I learn some thing, you made me smile. Thank you once again :D
Hey! I am so happy, that you liked the video so much! Thank you so much for all the kind words. This means so so much to me!
Omg my mom has those same small bird scissors!
Thank you so much 😊 I’m gonna work on Sunny makeing her to salor moon 🌝 rainbow high
oh mann, wann immer ich jetzt Aceton irgendwo höre höre
ich diese stimme im kopf die "ACETON" sagt xD
Beautiful! I have never seen or heard of that primer before, us that what you use on most of your repaints?
could you do this with acrylics as well? and also use MSC semi-gloss as a body paint sealant?
Yes, if you water the acrylics down and use a lot of layers and some soft sanding in between, you can get a very smooth surface as well :) and any kind of clear sealent will do :)
your tutorial is great but i'll skip the compressor part, as i'm broke and wouldn't have a long use of such an expensive tool.
i'm planning a repaint on a MH Spectra doll, because she's got the right colors of skin and hair for the character i want to transform her into.
two days ago i've been to a craft shop to see if i could find a transparent primer, like this "mister super clear" spray that (almost) everybody use. i only found a white primer for plastic. i took it anyway because i thought i could use it for other projects (and as Spectra got transparent hands and feet that i'd rather cover). but watching at your video, and seeing the primer your used, i thought "maybe i could find it easier in a car shop!" and maybe same for the varnish...
by the way, i still don't understand why some people insist so much to use nail polish remover without acetone... except maybe for the fumes.
well, thanks for feeding my reflexions ;)
It was amazing but I don't have an airbrush, what can I do then?
***** yes, I'll give it a try
***** thanks
***** jeje c:
HOOOWWWWW
How well does the paint around the joints hold up? I find with FBRs (full body repaints) even with sanding the joints still peel / scrape. Mind you, I use a sponge because I don't have an airbrush.
You still have to be careful, but it I made good experiences with my technique. You can use a sponge as well :)
does skin coloured spray paint work? i'm doing sailor chibi moon from a my little pony equestria girls fluttershy doll (they look like monster high dolls but they have horse ears at the top of their head, which i will wrap hair around the ears to make chibiusa's buns.) and i happen to have light tan spray paint.

im working on my first custom LOL i tried the scraping method, there was SO MUCH glue in her head it took me an hour!
I also got a Draculaura XD ahh!
Laura Skerra make à wig instead à reroot ;)
Hiendral you'll still have to remove all the glue and hair inside the head.
Cynthia Brogan yep, but After you don't pass 9hours to reroot
I got a cheap Draculaura doll for the head and a Demew for the body
Hey luv.. Im getting a curvy barbie doll Wednesday... Now i want to make a look alike for me. To mod her i only have self hardening clay... Will that stick or would i have to glue it and will it be fragile? And to change the skin tone i only have acrylic primer.... Will that work with soft vinyl for the head?
Sorry to dive bomb you with a crap ton of questions..... I just want my look alike to be accurate lol
When I plan to customize a Barbie doll, is there an appropriate way to seal the body first before I start to color it?
Can you brush on regular acrylic paint to change the skin tone???
When I pulled the hair out of my Draculara groom beach doll, giant globs of ear-wax looking glue came out. It was sticky and disgusting.
Neko_meow 03
yeah, it's the glue that keep the hairs in position, that's why you boil the head before you remove the hairs.
Can't you just use MSC as a body primer?
THANK YOUUUU !!!
Which paint can i use for pale skin. Imtrying to paint a made to move barbie to match dutchess swan for a customising
and how long it stay on a doll ? in a place like joints ? how fast it scratch away ?
Elias Onnelinnen well repaints are not for playing more for displaying do yeah...
Use mod podge as a sealer for last step and that shouldn't happened:)
Jestem zpolski i oglądam ten kanał od ponad roku (ale mniejsza o to). Oglądam sobie spokojnie filmik i nagle bam! To przecież po polsku na tym sprayu. *tym co używała przed malowaniem *
hi! I adore all your videos, i have a question, where can I get the primer and prisma color spray you use?
Can I just use acrylic paints and paint the doll? I don't have an airbrush or anything fancy like that.
How well would using gouache paint work for changing a dolls skin tone if it's sealed afterwards?
If we can't afford the acylic ink can we just get acrylic and paint it on with a paint brush?
After you have repainted her skin tone how do you safely get the head back on with out chipping parts away?
It´s possible to have the same result painting with brush instead of an airbrush? .
Hello for choosing varnishes how do you know if they're compatible with plastic
How would you change the skin tone on a Pullip doll? For my custom I’m trying to give her darker brown skin and the mocha skin tone isn’t dark enough for the look I’m going for
Hi love this where can I buy this paint at? Thank u

what if you want your doll Bald? how do you do that? love your vids!!
Do u by chance have the brand or link where u gor ur airbrush
Those sizors look like the ones from over the garden wall
Theoretically, could i use pastels to recolor her skin?
hey thanks for this but i want to know the color last long in the head? i dont care about the body cause i know the joins suck for this things and over time the reveal the original colour so i think im going to do it the hard way and just paint the head and use another body like eah or something so yeah the head does the paint come out ???
It is absolutely stuck to the head, especially when you sealed it during the face up. But it's better, to make a wig than a reroot, because with a reroot you have to be careful again :)
Moonlight Jewel how hard is to reroot a repainted head? cause i dont like wigs that much i preffer to reroot. can i like paint the head seal it and wet it? cause maybe i can paint the head heat it so if soft and reroot her and finish with a face up?
Moonlight Jewel what is another method for changing the skin color if you don't have an air brush?
CuteCupcake i have seen people using pastels and msc but only on the faces and acrylics on the body but well the airbrush is the best option cause it leaves the smooth finish, and the pastels for the head i think it should be very pigmented pastels so you dont have to add too many layers of msc.
Do you recommend any color for a tan or brown skin?
some people don't have a airbrush tool, so is there another way to give a doll different skin color without a airbrush?
Can spray paint be used instead of an airbrush??
MaKayla_Panda hope so!
does the paint chip on the joints at all?
I wish I could do this but I don't have an airbrush and can't find a cheaper one either ;0;
You can still change the colour of the skin by either: dyeing the doll using dye. There's some tutorials for that floating online so make sure to read those to get the right dye for the plastic (note: it can't dye every single plastic but it does a good job and it's great for joints.) Another way is using lots of layers of msc (mr super clear) and pastels. This can take a while tho😅 i find this method great for body blushing but a lot of work to change the skintone of an entire doll. Next is probably the cheapest and easiest and that is; just painting it by hand! U can achieve very similar results doing it by hand. The trick is to thin out ur paint and do it in thin, even strokes and to let each layer dry. There are tutorials for each of these methods online and on youtube so i highly suggest checking those out!
I want to get an air brush too one day but i assure u many many artists have been able to achieve this same look without it so don't worry!:D
As for which method is the best; each have their pros and cons so I'd just look into which is more accessible, cheapest, easiest for u as well as what's ur preference.
All can chip or scratch off over time except for the dyeing technique. However, manufacturers sometimes use different plastics for different parts so sometimes not all body parts on the doll will dye. I'm kind of lazy to blab on about too much, plus i don't want to info dump u too much😂
But if u need anything else let me know💖
Good luck!!💓💓💓

Amazing! But how do you remove the head without breaking the doll?
I put it into boiled water for a minute and then the vinyl is so soft, that you can just pull the head off without breaking anything :)
Moonlight Jewel incredible! Thank you :) you're very talented!
Do you have to sand the body before airbrushing? I have a very expensive set of dolls I'm eventually going to repaint, but I'm scared of messing it up.
