Dye BJD Dark Tan Skin Color Tutorial

[@cornflakes-does-stuff]

can't wait to see the face up! She looks great with the darker skin tone, I always think it's so sad that tan/darker skinned bjds are so rare and hard to find, I definitely wanna try dyeing one myself but I'm sort of dreading if will come out super unevenly dyed ^^"

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you for your comment 💕! I wish dollmakers would make more tan and dark skinned dolls 😭. This was my first time dyeing a doll and it wasn't as hard as I thought! There are ways to fix it if the color comes out uneven. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@fallabeaufaebelle]

She looks fantastic! I always appreciate how your tutorials are a thorough step-by-step process. Sometimes the fancy tutorials I see from big channels skip around and make customizing seem impossible, but your videos always make me feel like I can do it too.

[@katielyne0]

AGREED!! that’s why I love this channel! sometimes BJD tutorials feel like they’re gate keeping techniques, but these videos are so thorough!

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you so much for your comment 🥹💕. It took me a while to get into dolls, and I am on a budget (hobbies can add up real quick!). So I'm always looking for easy and cheap ways to get things done! I'm happy to share my experience with everyone and hopefully help you guys out!

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you so much 🥹💕 Customizing BJD was a bit daunting to me at first, but now I know some techniques and it's not as hard as it seems! I want anyone to feel like they can do it!

[@WishfulNyxx]

[@MJHsuArt]

Wow thank you so much for subscribing 🥹💖! I'm working on painting her face this week and will share the video when I'm done!

[@GobblyGook]

Thank you so much for this ❤️ I've been thinking about getting into bjd customization, and this is super helpful :D

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you! 💝😊 I am working on her face makeup this week and should have the final look ready end of this week!

[@IAmThePoliceDT]

that's quite an unusual way to paint a doll, I like it! but I wonder would it work if I want to make my doll even more pale?

[@EB_exe]

This is awesome, thank you for sharing! I have always wondered if RIT would work on BJDs like this so I'm glad the hypothesis wasn't crazy! I'll deffo have to try this out.

[@MJHsuArt]

Thanks for your comment! I was nervous to try it out but I'm glad it ended up working! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@vampaurae]

ive been thinking of doing this with one of my dolls from this line since i have to restring them anyways...this came out really nice!

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you so much 💕 I am finishing her face paint today so I'll post the makeover video this weekend!

[@nistheelf]

I love your videos! I customize pullip dolls. But watching your videos inspires me to try different dolls! Subscribed ❤

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you so much!! I have a couple of Dal dolls that I bought to customize. I would love some tips on how to remove/change their eyes!

[@nistheelf]

@@MJHsuArt I think I’ve seen some collectors use hot glue? I never removed chips before so I’m not sure 🤔

[@MJHsuArt]

@@nistheelf thanks for the tip! I'll have to try it out

[@RF-Ataraxia]

Oooh, this process is really cool! I'm looking to make my first custom and it involves also dyeing the hair parts Seems like the hair's made from the same materials, but I'm wondering if it will work the same, mainly because it's already painted out of the box. Would I have to remove it beforehand?

[@MJHsuArt]

To change the hair color, the method depends on what color you want the hair to be, and the original color of the hair. If the original hair is white (either painted by the factory or simply molded in white plastic), then it should be easy to dye it any color you want! However, if the old hair is a dark or bright color, then it's better to paint over it instead of using dye. Acrylic paint works pretty well if you want to repaint the hair! In some of my videos I repainted the dolls hair.

[@kordeliahlibelle]

She came out great! This will be very useful for a future project! uwu

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you so much! 💕 I'm painting her face this week, so hopefully I can edit and upload the video this weekend!

[@icedceilin]

Watching this like I do customs

[@MJHsuArt]

Maybe one day! I believe you can do it 👍🏻💕 Thanks so much for watching!

[@hachim00n]

wonderful! how do you think, will this color be erased from the body with acetone? i would like to try painting my doll, but in the process i use acetone if i don't like the result on my face and i'm going to redo it

[@MJHsuArt]

That's a great question! The color WILL be erased with acetone! During my dye process I actually got a really bad dark spot on the face, but I was able to erase it with a cotton pad dipped in acetone. If you have Procreate, Photoshop, or other drawing application, I would suggest first doing a mockup in the app to see how your face paint would look on the doll. I have a couple videos showing this process in Procreate. Unfortunately if you decide to erase the face deco with acetone it would likely remove some of the dye.

[@hachim00n]

@@MJHsuArt how do you recommend correcting mistakes on dark skin in this case? besides acetone, what are the options? I'm a beginner and I've watched all your videos, you're great!

[@MJHsuArt]

The only other option I can think of is using liquid watercolor paint instead of acrylics. Before it dries, you can easily wipe it off with water! But once you seal it with a matte spray, you will have to use acetone to remove it 😬. As you are doing the face deco, I would go slowly and regularly step back and check your work to make sure you are happy with it!

[@hachim00n]

@@MJHsuArt i'll try watercolor then, thank you very much!!

[@kikagoods]

So awsome!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MJHsuArt]

Thank you so much! I'm working on her makeup today!

[@kikagoods]

@@MJHsuArt Always great!

[@xx0124xx]

I would like to request something. Try a deep pot instead of a pan and just YEET all the pieces in there at the same time and let them soak. If not posible because the pieces touching the bottom will melt them, then do it in a plastic container. I really want to see what happens if instead of hanging them with strings we just let them sit and soak!

[@MJHsuArt]

Haha I don't know...maybe I'm too scared to do that strategy 😆 because the thickness and material of the pieces affect the rate that it dyes. Thin/small pieces dye a little faster. And certain materials dye faster. In this case the head is made of a softer different material than the other body parts. Maybe with a bigger BJD it might work!
