He's super handsome.. like really handsome!!

[@toinfinityandbeyond6578]

YES PLEASE, MORE BOYS

[@cleacmoon2307]

Yes more boys!!

[@somnabulistbrown]

The texturing of his skin was just amazing! And the eyebrows went from looking really really good to just straight up real. What a gorgeous man you've made of him!

[@ChronicallySpaced]

This was fun to watch, and also very educational! I always struggle with how to blush male sculpts around the eyes, so this was really helpful.

[@xhanthi]

I'm so glad that was helpful! Male sculpts are probably my favourite to work on really. I'm a sucker for being able to do bushy eyebrows lol

[@poldoll5683]

Wow, so beautiful!! It was so worth waiting for this next video of yours. You have some amazing skills, those eyebrows!! 😱😍

[@xhanthi]

Thanks so much! Yeah I love doing eyebrows! And the bushier the better haha

[@Mindasunder]

I love male face ups so much, it looks amazing!

[@xhanthi]

Me too! Thanks so much!

[@renaijanai]

I love Venitu too! You really did the sculpt justice with your faceup, I love love it!

[@xhanthi]

Thank you! Yeah it's definitely my fav sculpt! I'm super biased though haha.

[@christopherpappas7474]

WOW it has been a while, I was wondering if you stopped doing videos? As always your face up looked alive! I was waiting for him to start talking... and breathing... And as I said before your beautiful voice was perfect! PEACE:) You really should do anime voice over work or read books on tape for Audible...:)

[@xhanthi]

It has been a while! I've been a bit sick and that's made things hard but I'm hoping to do more videos more frequently! I'm so glad you liked the video, thanks so much for the encouragement! I bet voice work is a lot of fun to do XD

[@pandane]

One of the very very few amazing male faceups I could find, so it’s really appreciated, and would definitely love more!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

This is another one that I keep rewatching as a reference. She is so amazing!

[@jmalegromusic]

please do more Male sculpt face ups 🙂

[@cleacmoon2307]

Agreed

[@gertrude137]

commenting again to say thanks for posting this! watching helped me figure out how to do a faceup on my masculine doll. i’m new to faceups, so it was really helpful.

[@8jerasikapark8]

😮😮😮😮 how do you not have more followers? Your so amazing!

[@8jerasikapark8]

Thank you for the ❤ !

[@Bickidan]

I love this. Maybe I would trim eyelashes a bit but I am learning so much!

[@SilvaraHale]

I would like to see the finished whole Doll, with Body and Clothes. That would be sooooo great

[@Daystar311]

Gorgeous work! I'm amazed at the level of detail and how realistic he is. I love male dolls, depending on the sculpt. I'd love to see someone do a repaint tutorial on the Lee Pace (Thranduil) face sculpt I've seen out there.

[@xhanthi]

Oh yeah! That would be so great! I love Lee Pace, he has the best eyebrows ever lol

[@caroruiz4905]

Oh please yes, I would like see more male faces, your art work is beautiful ♥️

[@magoria1382]

It's very well done! ❤️ Please don't take this as I'm being rude or anything like that, my art teacher taught me that the inner corner of the eyes most of the time should have the same color as the lips, yours are very red and stands out a lot 😮 you do it however you want though, of course! it's an amazing faceup no matter what ❤️

[@f8nomore]

He's gorgeous!

[@jessicawilliamson927]

I’ve watched this sooo many times 😂🤣. Anyway I’m now on my third faceup and wanted to say Thank you for giving me the confidence!

[@YOUNANsDolls]

Oh my gosh the most beautiful face up ever 💕💕💕💕💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I just love your work ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@xhanthi]

Awww thanks so much!

[@desireeh5608]

Your work is beautiful, but I have to say: the music and your voice are so soothing, I was having trouble staying awake. I'm going to make a Playlist of your videos to help me sleep at night. ;)

[@AlejandraRiveravenusblume0602]

this is the face up that i like, a natural look.

[@AlejandraRiveravenusblume0602]

[@keaton11477]

Absolutely stunning work! More males please. Also lovely music choice.

[@revanelson8810]

Great job. I only have male bjds and face ups from the doll companies which are okay. One of them has a ghastly appearance to which I might add blush to his face.

[@missmerbella]

This is insane and I can’t deal with it 😩🙌🏻

[@melissaschaefer854]

So realistic! Love watching you create!!

[@IIangelmoonII]

hes such an angel..love it

[@teresasedore-qx3kr]

WOW YOU ARE GOOD

[@tigerhen7346]

Beautiful doll and beautiful work. thank you for the inspiration:) Wish you would show more of the paint you are using for each step.

[@xhanthi]

Thank you! I'll try to include more of the paint for the next video :)

[@lesuperbooper4622]

All of the videos I've watched so far have been incredibly calming! It's a nice contrast to the usual gaming KZbinrs I watch!

[@gertrude137]

the eyelashes were so effortless

[@andrewcox7097]

Its great to watch a master at work

[@froggie5]

He is breathtaking and your skills and seeming ease or working is awe inspiring. May I ask about that large brush you use to apply pastel, is there a name for it? Or is it a trimmed round brush? Thank you.

[@1do2likeU]

Very beautiful faceup and very helpful video! Thank you very much!

[@catbrown3230]

Fabulous Art. Amazingly Realistic. Thank you 💙

[@chupalcaunillama1388]

Do you have a video where you present or give us demonstrations about the tools and materials that you use? I really want to learn bjd faceup but i don’t know where to start

[@scaredsanty857]

Damn I was so happy to find this male faceup It looks so good, more please!

[@willbe3043]

Amazing sculpt... meet amazing faceup! wonderful work as always, mate.

[@xhanthi]

Thank you so much! I really love this sculpt too.

[@deepblue153]

excellent video!!! thank you

[@xhanthi]

Glad you liked it!

[@paigelittle3153]

Can you do a video that’s more in depth about your skin texturing process like how you water down the paint, what colors you use etc..

[@TatsuKitty]

I love all the skin texturing and tiny details you do! I wish we could get together and do faceups at the same time it would be so great!

[@xhanthi]

That would be super fun!!!

[@beluherrera9649]

[@user-ml6dk8sk4e]

I really like this male doll face ! “He” looks male not a female look ! I prefer a more older male face (30s to 50s ) a little rugged look too ! But I AM IN MY 80s and second or third childhood ! I will never grow to adulthood, I hope ! I love dolls ❤to much ! No I am not a lonely old woman ,with 5 cats and 4 dogs I am just a happy old empathetic woman ! Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift of art !❤ Love ❤ and happiness😊 to each and everyone of you where ever you are on this beautiful planet!🌎🌍🌏 from 🌵ARIZONA WITH LOVE❤🙀👵🏻😱🖖🏼👽🐲🌻👍🏻🗳️💙🇺🇸👍🏻

Thank you!

[@AlicesWhoRuHouse]

UGH this is a beautiful video. I'm so sad I jumped into the BJD fad late and missed a chance to get this beautiful sculpt. This video is a treat for the eyes though 😍 I've never been so intranced by a video before you did such a stunning job! Please do more male face ups the male BJDs are my favorite a lot of people mainly do female's but I would love some reference videos for when I have the courage to attempt my own male BJD in the future. But again absolutely stunning I've seen this video so many times cause I just can't get enough of it.

[@louiselow8206]

I really love the way how you painted the eyebrows!! Do you mind to share how you achieve the fine lines? I see that you shared the brush brand (TQVM), and with acrylics? It looked so smooth but I have difficulties in this like forever.

[@bekka20]

Can u do a tutorial for 1/6 dolls? Their heads are so small I cant get any details in

[@Beth_Amphetamine]

The eyes are so real! Almost too real. I got a bit of the uncanny valley vibe looking at the eyes! Honestly I’ve met humans with deader eyes than this doll. Did I mention how real the eyes were?

[@thedollattic_official]

Speechless! 💕

[@y_uki2403]

This channel is so underrated...

[@NecrochildK]

I was wondering, what sort of color palette would you use for a realistic male face-up on a grey skin doll?

[@AhhTheHorror]

How would you approach a realistic faceup on a tan/dark tan resin doll? I want this level of realism but don't have much practice!

[@xhanthi]

Dark skinned dolls are trickier to work on because pastels are sheer so you need to really work at building colour, airbrushing helps to build colour where you need it, and also you’ll want to research general painting techniques and colour theory for darker skin tones

[@michaelleesmith5903]

Sorry for arriving years late to your channel but this was amazing and hopefully you’re still out there, perhaps to answer my question. I have done miniature figures painting forever (far smaller than your face, mostly 1/35, up to 1/16 scale) and am always looking for new and better ways to paint faces. So my question is, in the initial stages, are you using pastels or Vallejo with lots of retarder. The way the colors go on I couldn’t tell and you don’t really mention it. I’d love to try and emulate your technique on my models.I use Vallejo, ,pastels, have 6 airbrushes etc so it’s a passion of mine and I appreciate your talent so much! Thanks

[@xhanthi]

Hello! I’ll run over my process real quick for you, I start by doing a clear all over base of vallejo matt sealer to protect the face and give the surface tooth, then I’ll airbrush some light colour on, just the big stuff, then I go in with pastels and start building colour and shape. I do multiple layers of pastel sealing each layer of pastel with a spray of the vallejo to build up colour intensity. Hope that helps!

do u not have to seal the whole face with anything bcz surely the blush and everything else could just wipe off?

Hi Xhanthi, I want ask about DollShe, so how long you have to wait to receive baby ?
