Last Week, I shared some sketchbook images, but the truth is that getting inked in the sketchbook is actually just “step one” in the paper doll process. Steps two through many more end up happening on my laptop computer.
So, it seemed only fitting to show some screen captures of paper doll sets in different stages of the process.
My nautical Poppet set is hopefully going to be done soon. It’s actually really close, though I did just notice a problem with the fish toy, which might slow me down a bit. 🙂
One of the last steps in the process is adding tabs, so I do them on a separate layer and then add them in. This is the B&B Knight set I showed off last week.
So, here is the Ms. Mannequin summer set I showed last week. I finished coloring it last night. It’s got a lot of pattern, so coloring it took time, but it was fun!
Lastly, here’s a gothic B&B set that I have been working on forever. I keep swearing I’ll get it done one of these days. It’s totally colored, so I have no excuse as to why I keep putting off adding tabs. I must apply the seat of my pants to the seat of a chair and get it done, as my Father is fond of saying.
So, that’s some of the stuff I’m working on at the moment. Progress, progress, progress. 🙂
Your paper dolls are always so cute! I can never think of any cool ideas for everyday girl paper dolls. How do you think of them all?
Well, I spend time looking a children’s clothing store websites and that helps.
I always love process posts! The nautical poppet looks adorable — I’m starting a new nautical set myself. Must be a bit of a zeitgeist!!
I can’t speak for others, of course, but summer always makes me think about nautical stuff. (And I am ready for winter to be over.)
