The Paper Dolls
I feel like starting the dolls, because well, you need a doll to wear the clothing, right? Right. I was very pleased with this doll and I still am. There’s a few things I would change now, but all in all, I’m quite happy with how she came out.
The Historical Clothing in Order of Historical Period
Originally, this project was going to be all 1910s clothing, but that didn’t last too long. I ended up with some 15th century stuff, some 1890s stuff, and some 1910s stuff. I’m particularly happy with how the folds came out in the 15th century gowns and I fretted for a long time over their headdresses.
The Sci-fi, Fantasy and Steampunk Clothing
I draw a lot of fantasy stuff. I like drawing it. It’s some of my favorite things to work on. I wanted to try out a bunch of different looks and see how I did using digital tools with them, rather than a pencil and pen. At times, I seriously missed my pen, but I can see ways in which I improved as the process went on.
The Contemporary Clothing
I didn’t do as many
A Few in Color….
One of the long terms goals of the July Project was to see if I could do a paper doll series similar to many of the ones on this site digitally. Part of that is finding a system, because I am system based soul. I played around a lot with different ways of doing shading and different ways of adding texture.
In the end, I decided I didn’t really love the shading, but I did enjoy trying out several different fun techniques here.
And that’s it! All of them in all of their glory here. If you missed one, you can grab it now and fill out your whole set.
