I am both very excited and a little nervous about today’s colored version of last week’s Minimalist fashion paper doll.
Why nervous?
Because color is something I love. I adore color and pattern and surprise and color… well color is something today’s paper doll set lacks.
Minimalism in fashion usually relies on a black and white color palette and is considered to be austere and simple. It has been popular for several years on the runways. I didn’t go as wild as I could have with shape, because I wanted everything to be wearable. This is not, after all, a fantasy paper doll set where I don’t care about realism and/or whether or not a person might actually be able to function in these crazy clothes. I am very pleased with the outcome (and this was the fastest coloring job I think I’ve ever done.)
Were I to make a list of things I’d never done before on the blog, I think doing a paper doll set entirely in black, white, and grey would end up on the list. I’m not certain, and I don’t really want to go pouring through over 500 posts to find out, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never done it before.
While I do agree that many of these shapes mirror Seagulls and Seaside, as was pointed out by a reader last week, I think the color really changes the tone of the entire set. I’m most pleased with Mia’s shoes (I love drawing shoes, though I really think one pair came out a little clunky) and the collared blouse.

Love it.
I really like her, also, since next Monday is Saint Patrick’s Day, maybe a female leprechaun?
Agreed! With Margot as the leprechaun
Well, I hate to disappoint, but there will be a St. Patrick’s Day paper doll (if I get it finished in time), but it will not be leprechaun.
Perhaps she could have a small pot of gold?
She’s super pretty, and reminds me of the teen DJ on the Grand Princess last Christmas, Veronica.
i love her ~ and yes, the shoes!
i love the black and white theme ~ works perfectly here!
