In the hoop rag doll. This is my first attempt at digitising (I had Embird for Christmas). I was in a hurry to test the design so I used a face I already had. It is a bit out of proportion so I'm off back to the drawing board.

She is cute, don't worry about face being a little off, gives her more personality...thanks for sharing and congrats on your new Embird and new talent.

Thumps up for your doll, she looks pretty albeit a bit surprised. I see you did the legs separately, that makes them more lifelike. I love the hair! What a cutie she is. My GD would love her!

I'll have to learn a bit more about embird and do a face of my own!
by mops 31 Dec 2011
Just ask me if you need help! Could chat as you go along.
by mops 31 Dec 2011
Or we should meet and have a go together.

With the face, the lower the features the more childlike and vis a vis. I think the
face is probably for a bigger doll. Eyes lower and nose and mouth closer. A little
cheek action with some blush or colored pencils. Also, a little color in the cotton- hard to find a gd shade.
by bumblebee 31 Dec 2011
cotton. If you have over the counter RIT
you can try dyeing tan w a bit of pink to get flesh. I would try a smaller piece and
make diff samples and concentrations.

There is a Golden Rule of Proportions for faces on internet-if I can think of it I'll post it.Probably at the Doll Making
University. It helps and then deviate from
there as there are all kinds of faces. Wide eyed, realistic, baby etc.
Your going to have so much fun!!
by spendlove 31 Dec 2011
Thanks for that. Actually, the face came from an applique design and wasn't really made for a doll. I do have a book with all of the proportions in but rules are made to be broken!
by bumblebee 31 Dec 2011
LOL I got cut off -your going to have lots of fun!!
by bumblebee 31 Dec 2011
Oh yeah when I was altering dolls I would
print the template and color in the features in different ways. Its amazing what color and a few freckles can do to change the face. Prismacolored pencils.

Thank you for sharing your sweet doll with us. I have to admit that I have embird (basic +studio) for more than 3 years now and I'm not able to digitize a simple line :o( Your progress is awesome!!!
Greetings, Bettina

I love your doll. Strange thing is, I spent my day looking at doll patterns and doll face embroidery designs. I think you did a fabulous job!! Is your baby for a special someone or are you just playing? I think you did just fine with her the way she is!! She has personality, and any child would find her perfect...especially if they were the recipient of a gift such as this little darling!!

She is perfect. Do you think you will be uploading the pattern for us? I sure could use one of her for making ITH dolls for children in hospice if she is a 4x4 hoop size.

This one is 8x8. To fit 4x4 it would have to be separate body parts. I'll try when I'm happy with this one!

Pardon for being late to the party, but I love her just the way she is. I know she's going through growing pains, though. She will be a treasure when she gets done growing. :)
Good job, Sue!
