More progress on the doll.

Painted doll

This little lady’s been on hold since April. I’ve been looking at some amazing dolls on the Art Dolls Only blog, and thought it was about time that I put a little bit of effort into this one.

I did have a plan for who she was going to be, but I’m thinking now that I might treat her more as a prototype. That way I don’t have to feel obliged to make her look like any one particular character – I can just make her up as I go along and see who comes out at the other end.

The “flesh” tone is very flat and orangey, and I’m not sure that I like the texture of the acrylic paint on the polycotton fabric. I have some peach coloured fabric that I want to use next time, so then I’ll only have to do shading rather than a complete body paint.

Next time you see this doll, hopefully she’ll have a face!
