Astronaut Paper Dolls… Color & Black and White

Disclaimer: I know NOTHING about astronauts.

However, I got an email from a young reader named Emily who wrote:

…would you please consider to draw astronaut paper dolls because when I get to grow up I’m going to be an astronaut scientist.

In the words of one of the college students I work with, “You go girl!”

I have named the paper doll Emily for reader who requested her. Emily comes complete with a graphing calculator, space suit, lab coat, safety goggles and a rocket t-shirt. Who doesn’t need that? Emily has short hair so that her space helmet fits properly. I realized after I drew it that the boots should probably not be separate, but it was already colored by the time this occurred to me. I didn’t put a flag on her space suit, because I know I have a lot of international readers, but feel free to add your own.

Personally, I rather like the flag of Yap an island in the Federated States of Micronesia. Now, I’ve never been to Yap, but it’s fun to say and they speak a language called Yapese, which sounds pretty cool to me. (Okay, most of them speak English, but Yapese sounds a lot cooler than English…)

Happy Slightly Belated Birthday, Emily and Enjoy the paper dolls!

Now, I just need to do the cowgirl set people keep asking for… I wish I knew how to draw a cowboy hat… or that I didn’t find horses kinda creepy…

Thoughts? Questions? Ideas about Space? Drop me a comment.

  1. Yapese is a lot more fun to say than English.

    But why does she have a set of heels in the black and white copy, but sneakers in the color?

    • Because I’m a space cadet?

      Honestly, I drew both for the paper doll, but then they both wouldn’t fit, so I had to decide which one to use. I asked a scientist friend and she told me that no scientist would wear high heels in the lab (too dangerous with the chemicals and the tripping and the glass stuff), so I switched out the heels for sneakers and I guess I forgot to correct the black and white version. Opps.

  2. yapenese sounds cool… when ever we complain at home my mom always says that she does not speak Wineses.

  3. Sometime you should make a paper doll of a famous singer like Avril Lavigne or Ke$ha or something like that

  4. You should make a swimmer paper doll! She could have her hair in a high bun and get swimming goggles!
