How To Use the Jumbo Blush Texture Mop
I’m always looking for new ways to create life-like baby blush patterns. I have developed a new experimental brush to create a blush pattern made up of tiny dots and lines, just like capillaries under a baby’s skin. It’s called the Jumbo Blush Texture mop. For the last few weeks I have been blushing babies by the dozens just to see what this new brush would do. Here are the basics of what I did.
I used a large glass palette and put a very small amount of paint on it. In the picture I placed a penny next to the paint so you could see about how much I applied. I used a new complexion blush color I recently developed called “Sweet Heart Rose” Blush Paint.
Next, I used a Mushroom Sponge to pounce the paint out into a thin film.
Then I loaded the Jumbo Blush Texture Mop by pouncing it on the paint.

I applied the “Sweet Heart Rose” Blush Paint to the head in a very light pouncing action, making sure to apply it in a random pattern for more realism.
Here is a photo of the random pattern that I created using the Jumbo Blush Texture Mop
.
I only covered the head and not the face because the Jumbo is too big for the face. So I developed a second mop size for the face called the Medium Blush Texture Mop. I was able to apply the blush pattern to the facial features with this smaller mop. It’s about 1/3 the size of the Jumbo.
The Medium size works great for the limbs as well.
Here’s what the overall effect looks like on the head and limbs. On the limbs I used the #2 Crease Shader to enhance the fat creases.
My two new blush mops made it easy and fun to do. Now I can create individualized, real looking, blush patterns for each doll I make. No two are alike.
I have a lot more notes and pictures on this technique than I can fit into this Blog. I will put together a Special Technique Tutorial for those who want to learn this process more in-depth.
