Paper Dolls

I mentioned previously that I'm working on a paper doll set for my digital illustration class. I decided to restrict myself to using only black + one spot color throughout and I really like the result. I wasn't at all meaning to make her look like me, but basically everyone I've shown these to has asked if they were a self portrait. What do you think? :) I'm actually half tempted to use these in my header and change my layout a bit.

I'll be posting up my progress with this project. It makes me quite happy, since it's graphic design + fashion. Sort of.



ink on printer paper, scanned and digitally colored.

    These look really cool. I think you should use them on your header. I am sure they would make a great layout.
    And I thought the dolls looked like you as well.
    I am guessing it´s the hair, and the super cute clothes.

    Eeek, these are SO CUTE! I think they would be great in your header! You should sell paper dolls on Etsy...I wonder if many people do that. I still have some paper doll sets from when I was a kid. I was crazy about paper dolls (of course).

    really cute result! I think the dolls look like you but it's only normal to take inspiration from your environment- and what is closest to you than yourself right? :)

    Haha, they do look like you! :) But I guess every piece of art we make contains a bit from us. :)

    They are adorable by the way, do show us the end result!
