Paper dolls, to me, are a combination of loving three things, fashion, art figures, and nostalgia. Paper dolls have been part of my life since I was six. This blog is to motivate myself to create, to draw more and to do better at it overall. One day I'd like to be published, but that's for tomorrow. Today I just want to play.

Christmas Card
Well here I am finally getting around to last year's PD Christmas Card, in August. I've had the idea in my head since December, but I am only now getting around to drawing it. I also figured this blog needs something new or you'll all up and leave me for more frequently posted blogs. Hope you like it, I haven't decided if it's a he or she yet. I'm pretty satisfied with how it's coming along. There's a lot I am not happy with, but I can live with it because I am 9 months overdue on this project. Having trouble with the right leg.. I think the nose will end up lengthened and more pointed. The mouth moved slightly down, but I'm not 100% on that decision. I am hoping that once I have the doll down, the outfits will be much easier to create. Not sure how it will end up being colored, but once I have it inked it should be a lot easier to figure out. On the right I have a quickly scrapped try at a sideways pose, but I prefer to draw them forward facing because I think I have more options that way. Outfits will end up being for every major (and maybe some minor) holidays that have passed since December (New Years, Valentines, St Patricks, etc.). So that's the plan. I will post full set after I have mailed them out to the people on the card list and they have received them, after all they have been waiting longer.
