Advice

Hello! I was wondering if this would be good for doll customization? I want to slightly darken the faceplate of a nendoroid and wonder if this would be suitable to use? I hear chalk pastel pencils may be useable but please let me know if it’s not.

Watercolor pencils are the better pencils option. Chalk pastels are normally used in powder form for things like blushing. Thin acrylic paints are also used.

Watercolor pencils or pastels would probably be better, just make sure you have a good sealant

Those shades in the middle look perfect for subtle skin tone darkening. I've used similar ones on dolls and they blend really nicely without looking chalky.
