I am excited to introduce everyone to Latanya, the first Pixie paper doll of the New Year. I drew her last year, technically, but that’s not really so uncommon for me. It can take months (years…) for a paper doll to move from my sketchbook onto my blog. I’ve had a request to do a full paper doll tutorial which is a lovely idea, but considering how slow I am at getting things done… it might be a year before its finished.
So, I wanted to do a fantasy paper doll with a autmunal color scheme. So we have Latanya rocking some darn lovely fantasy gowns and a little bit of armor. She’s apparently both a lover and a fighter.

Her colors remind me of autumn leaves and crisp fall days. I am really adoring her curls and the pattern on her dress which I am very proud of. I am trying to draw more patterns. I say that every year… And every year, I usually end up chickening out because patterns take time and I am lazy.

My Drawing/Contest closes tonight at midnight. So, if you haven’t entered and would like too, please do so today. I’ll contact/announce the winner tomorrow. 🙂 By the way, I haven’t responded to any of the answers, because I didn’t want to skew the results. I have read them all and I appreciate everyone’s honesty. Winner will be decided using a random number generator.
I thought you were meant to announce the winner for the custom made paper dolls
The original contest post reads that the contest will be “until Wednesday the 15th of January”, I went back and forth about what that actually meant. I had a few people ask me when the contest was closing, if it was closing on midnight on the 14th or midnight on the 15th. Since it seems only kind to give people as much time as possible to answer if they wish, I decided on the later date which is the 15th at Midnight.
Sorry if there was any confusion. The winner will be announced tomorrow. 🙂
The dress looks a bit like one of the Pattern and Graces…
That’s because I love winding vine like floral patterns and always have. 🙂 They’re a pain to draw though, I have to confess.
