How to ROCK at BJD Face-Ups: A Beginner's Guide to Painting Resin Doll Faces Paperback – November 3, 2016

I already own this author's book on wigs and this one is just as good as that one. Lots of good info on cleaning off old paint, sealing new layers, safety when using spray and much more. Loved the discussion about using different hues and saturations of color. Lots of things to think about and maybe try out.

I'm just now venturing into bjd collecting. This is a very well written, step by step; instruction to styles, types, mediums and outcomes to above-stated. I've always enjoyed working with pastels and watercolors so now I find myself intrigued by the possibilities of do it yourself face-ups. I might actually be able to bring out my collection of paints an brushes, and put them to good use on a hujoo doll I have currently enroute. Thank you again for this wonderful reference and lovely pictures that accompanied my new go-to book!-from one gamer to the next. Never let your mind stop wandering, for great things come from the adventure.

I am utterly pleased with this book! The author writes in such a way that It feels as if shes speaking to you, person to person. And her step by step tutorials are so easy to follow. I decided to first read on this hobby before starting and after having read through it, I feel confident that I’ll do great.

Not what I was hoping for...not enough examples of alternative examples of colonizations with many different materials/media. But it’s good for beginners with skills.

Jess has given you every chance to become a great face Up Artist in this book. She gives details to make it easy for you to transform your dolls. Her expertise shows and translates and is enviable ! She leaves you in no doubt that you should give it a go....AND be as good as she with a little practice . Thanks for such an informative and inspirational book Jess !

Extremely helpful, especially if the idea of a face-up makes you nervous about joining the hobby. The author really breaks it down and explains each step. She even gives a list of recommended supplies, with brand suggestions! I don't really have any spectacular artistic talent, but this book makes me think with a little practice and patience I can ROCK at BJD face-ups!

Those getting ready to tackle the exciting but anxiety provoking task of face up for the first time like me will find this book very informative. All the basic steps are explained and illustrated in great detail. The equipment needs are well explained. I have enjoyed the author's Videos and this book complements that work perfectly. I look forward to more advanced techniques in a future book. (Please!)

The details were so perfect and easy to follow . This book is great for first timers like myself. And it even tells you the materials needed
