Wow- I think this video is super underrated. I’ve been struggling with making my doll (especially legs and arms) and this really helped me way more then any other video I’ve watched.
Same I got so confused about what to do and this video was sooooo helpful
I appreciate that you covered some elements that other tutorials don’t touch on. The info on the replaceable magnetic hands and feet and having a neck joint are very helpful.
so underrated seriously.you explained everything simply with charts n all.being first time maker i was confused about many things and you cleared pretty much all the confusions.Thankyou and i Sub you.
This is insanely helpful, to get a good understanding of how the joints and moving parts work. I got frustrated every time I tried to sculpt either with clay or digitally because I didn't comprehend fully what shapes the joints needed to be- Thanks!
Alright, so, I'm doing some research into doll making because I'm into a certain hobby that puts a lot of focus on character creation and development (iykyk) and I would really like to take my characters off of the page and make them 3d. With that said, I've come to find that the BJD internet community is super elusive and there's really not much in terms of tutorials and whatnot. I see everyone using paper clay but I've had experience with paper clay in the past and didn't like it. I see that polymer clay is very popular for a plethora of sculpted projects and I'm wondering if I can make my BJD solely out of polymer clay (discluding the inside base and whatnot). If so, what are the differences between using polymer clay rather than paper clay, and do I still need a primer? I don't intend to make casts or molds of these dolls, just unique sculpture-type projects. Also, can you point me in the direction of any info I can get on making BJDs and working with the materials? I found your video really helpful and informative and hope to find more like it. Thank you so much!! Your doll came out stunningly!
Hi! I know I'm not the video poster but I have a lot of the info you're looking for because I'm making my bjd solely out of polymer clay and so far it's going extremely well. However, when making the final doll out of polymer clay it's really important to get the right clay. Imo you really can't skimp on products for it. Not saying you would, it's just something I've seen people do and they end up wasting a lot of materials and money etc. You have to be careful which clay you are going to use because it can't be too brittle or else it will crack under the pressure of stringing them/moving them. It's also not wise to make an air dry clay base for polymer clay to go over because most air dry clay will melt and/or create weird reactions when heated for the polymer. Paper clay has a lot of shrinkage where polymer clay mostly does not (when it does it's extremely minimal). If you do polymer clay you can easily mix up a skin tone or use a premade skin tone, you wouldn't still need a primer. Though be aware that polymer clay with high concentrations of translucent in them will have moonies in them after baking (google can show you that) so my advice is the choose something on the pigmented side. The main downside of using polymer clay is after baking that's it, that's what it's going to be, though you can sand it a bit. The reason so many people choose the paper clay is because you can keep adding and sanding away and drying it until your hearts content. Mine is, like yours, going to be the only one and I don't want to cast her so that's why I went with polymer clay. I've been doing extensive research and have gone with Sculpey Ultralight for the inner base (white) and Sculpey Premo Ecru, Beige, and White with a ratio of 2:2:1 respectively for a slightly light olive/tan skin tone. I chose Premo because when baked right it stays slightly flexible and is hard to break. I recommend checking out PolymerClayTutor here on youtube for her extensive testing and demonstrations for this type of clay and its properties. Also, if you're really at a loss and need specific visual guidance I have seen that Aprylian (also here on youtube) has and in depth tutorail on creating a bjd out of polymer clay. However, you have to pay for it which I have decided not to do so I can't speak on the quality of the course. She does have free short videos though on sculpting various body parts so it's still worth checking out. It's also extremely important to sketch out a 1:1 scale of what your doll is going to be so that while you are sculpting you will have something to refer back to. This comment is already so long and there's so much more to cover which I'd be happy to do so if there's anything else you'd like to know! I hope something in what I've said will help! :)
@@Bella-zd6wb oh. My. Goodness. I’m screenshotting all of this because all of the info here is info I need, thank you so so so much!!!!! For clay I’ve been looking into Fimo professional polymer clay but I’ll take a peek at what you’ve suggested. I’m now wondering about how to go about hollowing the doll out and whether I should hollow it out before or after baking. Good luck with your doll, do you have an art Instagram or something so I can drop a follow in case you post progress and stuff? I’d be super interested in following the process.
@@imadethisemailwheniwas967 Instead of hollowing it out, can you just sculpt around a dowel rod, or straw, or something you can remove after baking? (I have no experience, that's why I'm asking, this just sounds easier to me.)
Yes, just make sure it’s actually ok to be baked and removable after being baked. A chopstick covered in aluminum foil will work!
@@suffrro1448 thank you so much! I’m still doing lots and lots of research and this helps a lot!
Thank you for all these tips!! A BJD was released somewhat recently of a character I really love, but the moment I saw the price… ouch. So I started researching on how to make my own, and the more I look into it, the more passionate and excited I’m starting to feel about making dolls in general! But, it’s so so intimidating, I sometimes feel like I should just give up. So clear videos like this with all this helpful advice is helping me keep my motivation up! Thank you! I really shouldn’t worry too much about my first one being perfectly sculpted, and just enjoy the process of creating it.
So I have been heavily considering trying out making my own doll, since its something I've wanted to do for years. I really appreciate this tutorial especially the diagrams, but I've been wondering what material is best. I want to use air dry clay since its the most available where I live and not too expensive in case I fail though I'm unsure if it's viable
Thanks for the effort put into this tutorial, I hope your artistic endeavours are fruitful :D
I’m making mine w polymer clay but I heard air dry clay is the best option! Minmong on yt has rlly good videos on her sculpting bjds w air dry clay
@@s0boro249 oooo thanks for the recommendation!
this was actually one of the most helpful bjd videos ive ever seen. it actually explains and shows everything. i was so confused before but this helped. thank you!
Step one : be gifted on the art department
I’m thinking of making my own doll one day but I’m still a kid so I think I’ll be taking baby steps for now but even then this video was still very helpful thank you :)
i'm planning on making my first really simple bjd over xmas break and this was really helpful, ty!! you're so talantedd
As someone who knows little to nothing about bjds but wants to make one this video has been way more helpful than other tutorials I've seen so far
Most helpful free video on creating a BJD I have seen so far. Thank you very much and stay safe 🙏🏼
Watching your videos is like stepping into a magical realm where imagination knows no bounds
This video deserves more views. Thanks so much for the details 🥺♥️
all of these videos popping up on my recommended is making me want to make one lol. I can't sculpt for anything though and the idea of threading it all just makes my brain hurt trying to figure out how it's done. I'm sure it's simple once you look in to it, but without looking in to it, it's confusing lol
I need to see the face-up of this doll!
Its really cuteeee 🙈
An AMAZING VIDEO!!! I don't see lots of videos explaining the joints and what not. I am a 3D artist so will model mine and resin 3D print them, but some of the joints I'm trying to understand how they work. This was informative!
Thank you for sharing your creative journey with us; your work is an inspiration to fellow artists and enthusiasts alike
you’re a saint! Thank you for the step by step process!
Wow..you did a great Job!!! This video was great and very helpful, I am beginning my research to create my first doll for my dollhouse and wanted to move her move using rods, I think the strings are gonna be a struggle so I am going to try single joints with pins and eye hooks. She will have permanent clothes. Thank you for sharing this!🥰
How come on some of the sculpting picture the clay is white and some are gray? Are they two different clay?
Absolutely brilliant....well done,it looks so professional👍🏻
I must say even you didn’t tie it right I think it adds the charm on the figure/doll But that’s just me and I like other ways to do so
did you use a core to make the body hollow or some other method? i would love it if you could give an in depth description of how you hollowed it out/what you used to make it hollow. it feels like that’s the only thing this video is missing. cheers!
I actually didn’t use anything to hollow it out, I just formed it around my fingers, then cut it in half and smoothed out the insides. But I’m sure aluminum foil for polymer clay or foam with Saran Wrap for paper clay would work well!
I really like the video. Thank you:)
May I ask what type of elastic band you're using? I have trouble to find a good one:}
Did you make a mold and cast her or just simply spray her the primer to get to this point?
After using primer, can you start painting the doll?😄
ty sm for this video
Nice work. Do you think is it possible to make silicon mold of BJDs? Maybe spliting the pieces and avoiding solid parts.
Can you buy the joints only? I have made a large papier mache doll that will be about 30 inches tall. It is hollowed out and the arms and legs are detached at this point but I don't know how to string it together so that it 's arms can lower and raise only at the shoulders. I would also like for the legs to be able to move at the hip, just those 2 places are where I'd like this doll to be poseable.
Thank you. I just don't know how to assemble it this way.
This is really good I got all the answers I need from this video ..thx for posting really help me .
Could someone tell me which primers are best for making BJDs? I've already started sculpting but still don't know which type or brand of primer to buy
You need one that can be sanded. Look for a filler primer. She's using upol
Upol is good as a high fill primer ( if your clay has a very textured feeling) but I would actually recommend Mr. Surfacer 1000 (usually used for model kits) since Upol can’t get the same smoothness.
What should I do my bjd broke again and again after dry will you guys tell me a good stone clay please help me
I think I get it a bit better now and I understand what I have to look out for . But my question is, what the epoxy sculpt is for. Is it for a final layer?
It’s good for finer details, like hands, fingers, and ears. Paper clay isn’t that good for small parts since they tend to crack off before and after they dry. Epoxy sculpt rarely cracks.
Do you still need a primer if you use a polymer clay to sculpt? I am so unclear on what clay to use
Yep, you need it for every clay if you want a smooth finish. It’s basically to see the mistakes on the clay because of the different color of the primer. Polymer clay is more stable(?) than air dry, and you can sculpt into it with greater detail at the first copy, but with air dry, you have to layer with details. Unfortunately, polymer is pretty prone to cracking sometimes in thin layers, and standing the doll is still pretty annoying.
I tried using sandable spray paint, but that still peels off instead of sanding with 1 coat, so yeah, primer is mostly needed. (Unless you reach god like levels of sanding, or don’t care about if it is smooth enough.
Which brand clay did u use?
Thanks for tıps, İ have learn alot things from you. Also Good work, your doll is awasome.
This video is super useful, thank you so much !!!
OmG!!! Amazing!!! You are an expert now!!! Teach mee
how did you make it so smooth with that gray thing ,can someone let me know what's the gray thing that the doll was covered with?
late reply but the gray stuff is apoxie sculpt
Thank you!
thanks a lot ! it was really really helpful !!!
is that doll is yours? looks they sale that specific doll on alibaba same doll.
Ofc it's hers....alibaba is a thieving counterfeit website. None of the dolls there are legit dolls. They're all recasted from either small artists or other doll companies
THANK YOU!
What is the grey clay called?
Obrigada pelo video!!!!
what use is the apoxie -thks
Donde se puede aprender a hacerlos ?
Are they made from Clay???
is dat a monster?
Does it shrink as it cures ?
No, nothing I use shrinks while it cures, or at least the shrink is not noticeable. I know that paper clay shrinks a little, but it’s usually easily fixed.
FOR WHAT REASON YOU USE APOXIE
how did you hollow yours out?
I leave them hollow to start with by wrapping a pencil or paint brush on the inside. It usually doesn't end up smooth, so I add more clay and bake it again. Then, I get a exacto knife or Dremel and hollow out the insides properly.
🤩👍🏼👏🏻
Thank you so much 🌸
I’ve never seen one of these videos where someone actually explained everything. This made my day, I’ve been struggling with my doll but I feel like I can do it now 🤍
