This is an advertisement and not an actual news article, blog, consumer review, or consumer protection update happy hump day lovelies! today i decided to revisit my paper doll template because i wanted to change up the proportions and create variations.

I recently read a post on violettes blog about leveraging a drawing, reusing it multiple times or perhaps creating variations by making multiple copies to work with. I dont know why, but previously i always thought i had to create everything from scratch. After noting the variety of ways each person creates their art, i realized that its just crazy to limit myself like that. Why i am creating rules to box myself ini meanit makes me sad when i draw something and cant work with it multiple times to experiment. My thoughts suddenly drifted to discussions and debates about how nothing is original and we all build our work on top of those before us. Suffice to say, i sort of had an epiphany and have freed myself to do whatever i want. I can reuse my own drawingsi dont have to work from scratch each and every timewhy not.

Its funny how sometimes we get so deep into our work that we lose sight of the big picture. I totally lost perspective regarding the freedom of creation and the fact that there are no rules. Whewglad to get that out! so, all this led me to revisit my doll template, creating two different body proportions to play with. Feel free to download the pdf and use to your hearts content have fun with it! the first page is meant to but cut out and put together to make a moveable paper dollthe second page is just the outline to draw directly onto. I realized that instead of using brads or sewing i could just piece together the parts with a bit of poster glue stuff. This way i can play with different body positions and trace over or just use it as a guide for drawing the body formpretty cool! on the second page i drew a granny and a scary girl doll then made a photocopy.

Now i can always have the original and experiment with just the copymaybe ill make a few more copies too. Hope you are inspired to go make some paper dolls and copy your own art sounds funny, but sort of daring, right? until tomorrow my blog friends, ciao ciao! by jennifer campbell december 7, 2009 1 am danielle meder 39 s paper doll illustration of pink tartan 39 s spring 2010 collection.
