I wanted to make some summer paper doll clothing, but I confess men’s clothing isn’t my gift. Drawing contemporary men’s clothing still is something I find rather challenging, because I struggle to regularly come up with new ideas.

The guy Sprite’s t-shirt today is based off one I saw a student wearing on the campus where I work. The orange shorts are well, just a pair of orange shorts.

I mean, sometimes even guys want non-neutral pants, right? (I have no idea if this is true, actually.)

The Sprites ladies top is from a contemporary catalog. Her jeans are flares which I have been told are in fashion. I added the designs to the bottom when I decided there was something sorta vintage 1970s going on. Those designs were originally going to go on her top, but I thought that was too busy. The

Sprites, just like every series, I think think need a mix of clothing. I really enjoyed contemporary paper dolls when I was kid, usually ones from Golden Books which had punch out dolls and clothing. I preferred the cut out books, because with the punch out books the tabs often got ripped.

Speaking of all clothing types, tomorrow there will be a historical dress and then Friday there will be something sci-fi. I’m super busy this week and will be traveling a bit, so I will try to respond to comments and emails and such, but that might not happen.

  1. love this set and the detailing on the pants and shirt!

    true story: yesterday i saw a guy wearing stonewashed pink jeans. yup.

  2. I love the girl’s jeans 🙂 and my cousin’s boy has a shirt just like this one. It’s so cute. (geeking out.)
    Thanks! I love this set!

  3. I love the girl’s top and jeans! Often with your designs, I wish I could wear them in real life. I noticed that the Black and White PDF link isn’t working. If it’s not too much trouble, could you please fix it? If you don’t have time, that’s all right.
