Picking out color schemes is one of the hardest things I do for my paper dolls, but I think it’s very important to make sure each paper doll makes sense. I want it to be colored in such a way that you can combine as many pieces as possible for as many outfits as possible. After all, that is the point of a paper doll isn’t it? I use some tools like The Color Scheme Designer and the Color Schemer Gallery which provides all sorts of color scheme options. I love looking at different color ideas, but I find I come back to the blue, orange, purple schemes a lot. I wear all those colors fairly often in the real world.
So, I’ve also decided to have a contest. Answer the question right and you get a custom Marisole paper doll. Details below:
What is my favorite holiday?
The Rules:
1) One guess per person per day.
2) If no one guesses right by Monday, I’ll give a hint or pick the closest.
3) Anyone who knows me well enough to make a very informed guess, doesn’t get to enter. Sorry guys.
I think that’s everything. And lest you think this is completely random, I assure everyone that I have mentioned the holiday on the blog before, but not in a very obvious way. The prize is a custom Marisole paper doll, so you tell me the hair color, skin color, hair style and basic theme and I’ll draw the paper doll. Of course, it might take me a while since I’m often slow with finishing things.
Good luck 🙂
Edit: The Contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered.
Edit (10/7/2013): I just posted this paper doll set in black and white, so if you want to color her- now you can!
Hmm…. I don’t know. I’m going to guess Thanksgiving.
Halloween?
Umm…. Wow, this is hard.
Mothers day.
Well, I recall you saying you don’t celebrate christmas, so it can’t be that. I’m going to guess valentines day for all the pink ruffles and hearts. =)
Solstice?
Easter, maybe? By the way, I don’t think my Gravatar shows up here.
May day
Halloween ?
April Fools?
I love the purple shirt with the swirl things. I am going to guess Hanukkah?
Well, wow… I didn’t realize how had this was going to be for people. 🙂 I’ll have to give out a hint tomorrow when I get a Curves doll up. Hmmm… I do celebrate Hanukkah and I love all the candles, Twizzler. It’s a close second or third to my favorite holiday.
St. Patrick’s Day?
Mardi Gras?
Fourth of July? That’s my favorite.
Hanukkah
