Paper dolls have a number of advantages over conventional ones. They take up little space, are cheap, and you can make them yourself. But in order for her to please the eye, it is worth drawing a charming girl carefully and accurately.
It is necessary
- - White paper;
- - pencil;
- - eraser;
- - gel pens.
Instructions
Step 1
Draw the figure and underwear of your future doll. Do not press on the pencil, the lines should be barely visible so that they can be erased if necessary. With a gel pen, trace all the contours. It is not at all necessary to use black. To outline the strands, use whichever pen best matches your intended hair color. For body shadow, use an orange pen. Now you can start the final painting.
Step 2
To make the doll more realistic, you need to consider which side the light is coming from. Focusing on this, outline the shadows and highlights. It is best to paint with pastels or pencils, the paper can get wet and deformed from paints, and felt-tip pens will not give the realism that is obtained with pencils or pastels. Shadows should be filled with a darker color than the main color, and highlights should be lighter. When the front of your doll is ready, use the same principle to create the back.
Step 3
Glue both halves together. Now you need to draw clothes for your doll. It is painted in the same way as the doll itself, but when creating clothes you need to pay attention to some details. Consider the pose of the doll, clothes should match the position of the body.
Outline the shape of the toy, draw the clothes around this base. If the wardrobe item is tight-fitting, it should fit the doll exactly on the figure. Make rectangular bindings to hold the clothes on to the doll. These attachments should be on the shoulders, around the elbows and calves.
Step 4
Dressing attachments should not be wider than the parts of the doll, otherwise they will be visible. If your doll's hair is loose, use scissors to separate it from the shoulders, but don't cut the neck! This will allow the garment carrier to be threaded through. If desired, the doll itself can be drawn bald, and the hairstyles can be cut and decorated separately. Dolls and clothes for them can be created in a variety of ways. You can craft elves, fairies, and other magical creatures.
