Thank you Jane! You’re so kind!! 😊 I would love to get to that point for sure! I will get a little more practice under my belt, then list one for sale hopefully next year🤞🏻😉 I do love Marshal so much!! ❤️

Ahh yes, might be a little cathartic to put her together again?

Fico muito feliz que tenha gostado do vídeo com legendas! Espero que gostem de muitos outros vídeos! Muito obrigado ^_^

Thank you! No, I just like to share through these videos 😊 I do have more customising videos in a playlist though if you’re interested!

Yes 😅 I’m not sure why, but I write and draw left handed, but play guitar, use scissors and sew right handed! I don’t think I realised as I was growing up, it’s weird! 🤪 Thank you! 😊

@@BethRamsden Well it is very handy to be able to use both hands! I could have done with that ability when my right arm and hand was at its worst... When I used to do gymnastics I used to lead with my left arm and leg, but that was about it. I did try and teach myself to draw left handed but that was unsuccessful, although I could swap hands when playing badminton which was handy!

Yeah you should totally give it a try!! This airbrush is just a cheap one (about £60 including the air compressor) it’s fairly straightforward but I haven’t been using it very long honestly 😅 No idea of brand names sorry! I feel like I trust it more than a spray can, and can ‘dilute’ just what I need when I need it 😊 Thank you for watching!!

Thank you very much!! Yes I really enjoyed using them, though there is (always) a risk of accidental gouging, they were slower paced and a lot less messy (dusty?) than using the rotary tool. I bought mine from Hobbycraft (UK) but I've seen what looks like the same thing on Amazon & eBay. I tend to obsessively research things before I buy, and I worried about getting a good quality set, but these came with a sharpening stone (which I used before I began carving), and as an amateur I found them comfortable to use! ^_^ Hope it helps!

@@BethRamsden yes I can imagine! I have a selection of riffler files which I use with my little rotary tool. I have also seen customisers use rounded scalpels for carving but the wood tools seem a little safer! I will have a look in hobby craft - thank you!

Ooh thank you so much! 😊

Thank you! I have descriptions and links to most of the things I use regularly here in my FAQ: bethramsden.com/faq As for reference, I suppose my experience as a portrait painter means it's kind of built in to me now, but if you create a kind of mood board, of other dolls that you like the look of, you can use them as your reference. I hope that helps! Please feel free to ask any more questions ^_^

Thank you so much! I really love being able to make them so unique 🤩

Aww, well she's the only really sad one that I have, so she's different to me! ^_^ Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! 😊 Those are actually make-up brushes, they’re soft and rounded, perfect for applying and blending pastels 😁

@@BethRamsden oh! Brilliant! They are so pretty! Thanks for the quick reply!

Gracias! ¡Oh, eso sería tan hermoso de ver! En su lugar, puede usar pasteles regulares y un pincel grande y suave para aplicar su color. También he visto a personas que usan Pan Pastels (¡pero creo que son bastante caros!) En cuanto a un aerógrafo, realmente no tengo experiencia, este es el único que he usado: es de mi esposo y era bastante barato. razonable, no creo que necesites algo sofisticado para comenzar a usarlo. ^_^ Thank you! Oh, that would be so beautiful to see! Instead, you can use regular pastels and a large, soft brush to apply your color. I've also seen people use Pan Pastels (but I think they're pretty expensive!) As for an airbrush, I really have no experience, this is the only one I've ever used - it's my husband's and it was pretty cheap. reasonable, I don't think you need anything fancy to start using it. ^_^

It’s milliput, a two part epoxy compound. There is a similar thing called Apoxie Sculpt you can look for too. I’m in the UK, so not sure what’s available where you are 😊 Thanks for watching!

Hi! It’s about 3-4 hours but depends on the environment 😊

Yes they are carving tools intended for use on wood. They are a very basic set, and have a small variety of blade shapes. 😊

Yes you can if you have a safe place to do so, but I now have a special airbrushing booth with ventilation that sucks particulates and fumes through a tube that goes outside, if I’m spraying MSC varnish then I still wear a proper mask as well indoors! Thanks for watching 😊

I mixed up lots of different colours of acrylic paint until I got a good match - I can give some examples, although shades will vary from brand to brand! - Buff Titanium, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red. Hope that helps! ^_^

They should be watercolour pencils, and the kind I use myself are Faber-Castell ‘Goldfaber-Aqua’ ☺️🖌️🎨

@@BethRamsden Thanks !!!you are so fantastic 🥰

Yes! It's Vallejo Premium Airbrush Matte varnish - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284746457791?hash=item424c3622bf:g:mW0AAOSwL0tiS9k~ It's very good, but if you're using an airbrush anyway, you might as well use Mr Color Super Clear which is what I now use, you'll find links here in my FAQ for that ^_^ bethramsden.com/faq

You can use a glossy varnish on the lips to give them a wet look 😄

💕😌💕

Yes definitely! You will have to re-seal/varnish the face after sculpting anyway. You can use matte or gloss spray depending on your preference 😁

@@BethRamsden ohh okay! Thank you sm also would there be a demonstration video on doing that? I’m quite a beginner 😅

I have a customising playlist, you’ll see my process in more detail in some earlier videos 😁

Milliput is a two part compound, so the two parts combine to start the hardening process. It is mixed with itself 😊

Определенно! Это было то, с чем я боролся больше всего здесь. Надеюсь, в следующий раз у меня получится лучше ☺️

You can buy these cheaper dolls on AliExpress, the prices vary quite a bit. 😊
