But none of that has anything to do with today’s paper doll. Today’s paper doll is an A Pose girl named Aisha. Aisha is an Arabic name meaning alive, according to Behind the Name.
All right, so as I often do, this is first version of Aisha as all contemporary shoes. Eventually, I’ll add some more specialized versions of Aisha. I actually already have a cyberpunk version in the works.
Years ago, I collected a bunch of photographs of people from around the internet to try to create a skin-tone palette. I ended up with seven colors and you can see that palette here. I recently discovered the work of Angélica Dass. She’s been photographing people against the Pantone color background that matches their skin. You can see her work on the National Geographic Website. It’s really amazing.
I don’t think I’ll be creating 4,000 skintones to use on the blog. It wouldn’t be very mix and match shoe friendly, but I do find her project super neat and work checking out whenever you have a moment.
Meanwhile, go grab some clothing for this poor naked paper doll. She needs something to wear. After you do that, leave me a comment and let me know what you think of today’s paper doll.

Hey I was searching around and I found my moms blog. Corissia langlais? I found out by snooping around that you were her teen paper doll friend, I’m her oldest child names leah I’m 15, I’m planning on drawing paper dolls as a hobby so it’s cool to be able to see this stuff.
Thank you. I’m glad you are enjoying the paper dolls!
The Pantone skin tone post was really fascinating.
Yeah, my mom recommended it to me. She finds neat stuff.
