What can you recommend....?

Question

What soft pastels, brushes and watercolor pencils do you recommend for face-up for my Ball Jointed Doll?

Answer 1

For Soft pastels....

1.) Conte Crayons -

6 neutral colors. Fairly expensive. Wonderful for drawing Limited colors, very hard dense pastel. Not my choice but some Face-up artists have found great success using these.

2.) Nupastel color sticks 96 colors. -

Medium priced. Good variety of colors. Good deep color, considered "hard" but can easily be shaved.

3.) Rembrandt soft pastels 180 colors. -

Pricey but worth it. Very soft, very deep color. Wide variety of shades and hues. Last forever, primo quality. Single sticks can be purchased at art stores.

4.) Mungyo Gallery soft pastels -

Really good quality, they give a nice and intensive color.

For Brushes...

It has to be very small bristle like 10/0 or 20/0 I guess I forgot though. I use Blick Masterstroke Pure Red Sable Set. Even I am still hunting for good brushes. :)

For Watercolor Pencils

1.) I use Faber-Catell for it.

2.) DERWENT Watercolor Pencils
