Sketchbook Rides Again

I finally finished inking my latest sketchbook. I have started scanning the images from it. I hope to have the first set up Sunday since I don’t have anything ready yet for Sunday… Leaving things to the last minute is a bad habit of mine, I confess.

I nearly always draw Pixie paper dolls in half page groups. That’s about how many items of clothing I can fit on a single set. The lower set of clothing is for a Harry Potter paper doll I’ve been planning for a while (though I haven’t seen the last film yet). I realized after I drew her that I needed another sweater for the fourth house, so I’ll have to do that. The upper set is just some normal clothing. I decided I needed more casual normal things for Pixie.

Future Marisole post, I think. I can fit three long dresses easily on one Marisole post. Each Marisole post takes up a page and a bit in a sketch book. Oh, and I’m kinda on a “crown” kick, though I don’t really like either of those.

The last page here is two more Pixie post things. The top is bell dancer inspired clothing- has about as sketch-1cmuch in common with actual Middle Eastern dress as the Marisole fantasy dresses have in common with Western historical costume, which is to say very little. The bottom are some in-accurate but pretty 18th century inspired dresses.

  1. The sketches are great!
    Lovely, eye catching and wonderfully detailed.
    Good job!
    Looking forward to what you create next.

  2. I’m crazy about paperdolls and I found your wonderful site and I’m in heaven. I love your work and I admire your talent. I’m eager to see what you’ll do with your new sketches. Have you ever consider create something about Lord of the Rings? The Harry Potter ones are wonderful so far.
    I have a blog in livejournal (that I don’t post in a very long time…) – can I put a link to here in my paperdoll post? I’m from Portugal.
