Month: December 2012

Marisole Monday: In Space!

Today, Marisole is an alien. I’ve been wanting to draw an alien futuristic set with guns and platform heels and absurd over the top clothing, so I did. I previewed it a while ago when it was in my sketchbook. As sometimes happens, I drew more clothing for this set than could fit onto the page, but these things happen sometimes.

In all the years, I’ve been drawing Marisole paper dolls (three now, I think… I started in 2010) and I have very rarely changed her appearance as dramatically as I did for this paper doll. The eyes I’m not totally pleased with, but I like the rest of it. The last time was when she was a zombie, I think. Anyway, I decided she was so different that she almost wasn’t a Marisole paper doll at all.

Playing around with Marisole’s face is a continuation of my thinking about where the series is going in the next year. December is usually the month when I start thinking about these things. Chances are the blog will be a little slow this month, I am traveling to visit family around the the holidays.

Enjoy my alien paper doll.

Alice and Red Riding Hood from my Sketchbook

I’ve been doing a bit of drawing, but have been having trouble getting it from sketchbook onto scanner and then onto blog. So, here are a few pics of things I’ve been working on.

Alice is a re-occuring theme in my paper dolls. I think I have Alice paper dolls from high-school somewhere in my collection of stuff. I want to get this one done in time for the anniversary of the publication of the book which was in January, I think.

Another page of Alice. There’s a third page, but its still being inked right now, so I think it will have to wait.

I’ve been working on this sort of odd Flock modern/punky fairytale thing lately. This is Little Red Riding Hood. Hence… you know… the hood. I also had two requests for new Flock paper dolls– one with lighter brown skin than Wren and another with long straight blond hair, so I am working on those as well.
