My son passed in December, while cleaning out his shed I found a skateboard he had drawn and planned on painting for his daughter. After watching your videos I'm planning on using the pencils and pastels so his drawing can also shine through. Thank you!

[@malena5026]

Miss Fan de Chloé Queen Bee 4Ever it’s a sealer I think to get an even matte finish/ canvas to draw on. After every layer you did you should seal it. But you have to be careful because it’s toxic so do it outside

[@katholeenloveit8923]

I have always wanted to make dolls and YOU POPPEN have helped me to do so

THE. MOST. PERFECT. TUTORIAL. EVER!! And I'm a very accurate, serious critic 😜 This is how it's done people! Clean- good volume & background, perfect visuals Focused - humor appropriate but short, logical thought processes, no side banter, no egotistic self image (I like her mysteriousness ppl she doesn't even show face! 👏), Conscise - no extra fluff, self promotion quick & to the point, awesome tips & demonstration, Informative - perfect demonstration, good tips, suggestions & explanations, companies should seek artists who prefer the products that actually work to sponsor them rather than these companies & "influencers" trying to get rich quick off trends from us folks..... promoting shitty over priced items that don't deliver. REMBRANDT, PRISMA COLOR, ETC. who she mentioned, SEND THIS WOMAN SOME SUPPLIES! 🤣😘

Can you suggest something besides Mr. Super Clear? I bought something that I hoped was similar to Testor's Dullcote at the hardware store (I live in the US) and since I have never painted dolls I can't tell if it's what it should be. It doesn't seem to create "teeth" but I'm not sure I know how that would feel

[@StampinStyle]

I have a technical question. I’m embarking on a new hobby. After I remove the original paint and apply the multiple layers of Mr Super Clear, I will begin the layering process. If I decide to start over after a few layers, do I use the same process to remove the layers of Mr. Super Clear and paint lares I applied like I removed the original manufacturer’s pain. love you site. Thanks so much! Mike

Your videos are always super helpful! I have another question though. Can you also use regular pastels after crushing them to a powder? Or does it have to be soft pastels? Do you know what would happen if I used regular ones?

[@verybarebones]

I've always used acrylics but really wanted to try watercolor pencils. I've found some low range ones I had lying around and they don't paint at all on the sealant! Do you think getting higher range pencils makes such a big different or could the sealant be the issue? Thnks!

[@missygrrl]

My question too. Someone please answer. I don’t want to buy more pencils if it’s a sealant issue

[@isabellam1814]

oi, alisson. é muito difícil encontrar lojas virtuais que entreguem o msc no brasil, e a receita federal barra mesmo várias vezes ushsushs, mas existem outras alternativas mais acessíveis. você pode usar o liquitex (importado, mas dá pra achar em qualquer loja online ou física especializada) com um aerossol separado, imitando o spray - essa versão existe, mas não no brasil susuhs. o custo dos dois produtos que a "substituem", *matte varnish e matte medium*, fica por volta dos R$250. usa-se o matte medium pra preparar o antes da boneca e durante (backups)/após a pintura dela, misturado com água quente. o matte de verniz vem como finalização. boa sorte!

[@DannyJane.]

Gotta say, Mr Super Clear is not in any way easy to find locally. I live in Houston, Texas, USA; which is a big city. Tried hobby stores, hardware stores, art supply stores, and all the local big box stores with no luck. Happily, there's Amazon. It's just that the waiting is hard. I have some old Prismacolor water color pencils in nearly pristine condition and the old pastels will do till I know if this hobby is for me. But gosh darn by golly, I wish I didn't have to wait for the Mr Super Clear so I could get started.

That’s how I feel when I’ve ordered books...it’s like, geez!, get here already!

I can not obtain MSC in Norway and noone is shipping it here. What can i use instead? I am open to use acrylic paint or anything else if nothing else can be used instead with pencils :) love your videos

[@PoppenAtelier]

yeah, I've heard about this problem from other doll artists from Norway... Unfortunatelly I cannot give any useful tips because I always work just with MSC. I know that Andreja from Nicolle's Dreams channel uses some other product + an airbrush

[@iteeshollow]

Interesting to note, that it says : 'Mr. SUPER CLEAR UV CUT series is special clear coating that reduces the effects of ultraviolet light. Use this coating to preserve your long hours of painting. (This product is made especially for the Mr. Color series and cannot be used over water-based paints and decals.)' Watercolor pencils are water based pigments, although i doubt there is water in them, just water soluble. I have never used anything except acrylics to paint my OOAK dolls. I thinks this would be more fun, except the spaying outside. I would think you could use the clear uv cut as the final top coats, and use the other as the base coats?

[@PoppenAtelier]

I always use only the UV Cut one, simple matt Mr. Super Clear gives cracks already in a week, I've tried it once, never again))))

[@laurendean5577]

Do the water color pencils wash off? Is there anything I need to do to make sure it doesn't rub off if the doll gets wet? Thank you, your dolls are beautiful!

[@elicreationaustralia]

From the different videos I've seen online, they seal the watercolour in so it doesn't rub/ wash off. I think they do that after every layer

Is there a specific reason why you choose to use watercolor pencils as opposed to colored pencils?

I'm wondering if there's a difference or reason for using watercolor as opposed to colored pencils...

I do have mister superclear (bought 4 bottles in Japan xD), mungyo pastels and I have faber castell's watercolor pencils BUT when I start drawing the face the paint do not work on the face. I'm probably doing somenthing wrong but I don't know what. I thought I used to much MSC but I use the same amount as Poppen. Can anybody help me? Sorry for the rant

[@maggotmeatballz2692]

First of all make sure you're applying very thin layer of MSC and dry then another layer and do the spray at the correct distance. Then you have to understand you don't use barely any force when using the pencils on the face you do it very very softly and build the pigment gradually. It is not very easy, so etimes some color pencils will work better than others on the same box. Eventually after much trying you'll start to see what works for you.
