What are the shade names of the colors you use for your doll faceups? In acrylic paint and watercolor pencils. I’ve found some individual pencils sold by faber castell, but I’m not sure what colors are the most used.

Since my last post I finally got around to ordering my girl’s clothing and wig I’m yet to buy eyes but leaning for towards a yellow or purple. With that being said I bought a completely blank head with the intention of customizing it myself! I have absolutely zero experience with any doll face ups though, so probably not a smart decision on my end! What would the best materials be? I know I’ve heard watercolor pencils, and chalk pastels for sure, but what brands? What kind of sealant would I need + anything else? If not to much trouble either around how much am I looking at having to spend on supplies? I do other types of crafts and art so I know things can get pretty expensive! Ah also what would be best to practice on beforehand? Are there any type of cheaper dolls or material similar to the dollfies I could practice on? If things end up not working out I’m open to commissioning someone! So if you do face ups yourself or know of anyone else I’d love to know so I could check that out as-well! Off topic here but what website does everyone post pictures to to put on here? I’d like to share my doll later on! That’s all for now! Thank you!(⌒▽⌒)

faceup supplies question What are Your Favorite Watercolor Pencils?
Dolorre posted a topic in Painting and Customization
I'm new to doing faceups, and so far I'm using Staedtler Karat Aquarell Premium Watercolor Pencils. I like the pigmentation and the fact they don't break easily, but I'm not happy with the variety. The most I could find was a pack of 60 pencils.I managed to snag a pack of 72 (Artisto brand) and 120 (Kalour brand) for cheap that I plan on reviewing and comparing to the Staedtler. For anyone who wants budget pencils. 😊Anyways, here are the questions:1) What brand of watercolor pencils are your favorites?2) Why do you prefer them?3) How's the pigmentation?4) Do they break easily? -
Some background: I've got a Dollfie Dream girl, I've had her for years. Her body is secondhand and has some stains, and I just bought a smaller chest for her. I'd like to re-do the hideous faceup I did when I initially got the head (and perhaps darken her skin tone a shade or two using pastels since I'm scared of dye). I'm also planning on blushing her body (mostly to give her muscle definition, since she is supposed to be StronkTM). My question, as a total noob, is... What tools and supplies do you guys like to use? I'm talking brands, brush types and sizes, the whole nine yards. Because if someone just says "small brushes" or "chalk pastels" then I spend three hours standing in the store or browsing the internet and wondering which to get and ultimately getting frustrated and giving up. Here is what I currently own in my supplies: Sprays: Mr Super Clear Flat UV Cut and Zoukei-Mura UV Cut Pastels: General's Chalk Pastels in #4029, #4053, #4051, and #4089; Zoukei-Mura Make Pastels (basic set) A pile of various acrylics designed for miniature painting that probably aren't best suited for dolls Super cheap watercolor pencils that are worthless Tamiya Acrylic Paint Thinner X-20A A set of Army Painter mini-painting brushes Clearly, my toolset needs some serious work (and perhaps a dedicated toolbox). So please, suggestions!
