Description
While making a doll, I got bored and thought 'I should do a WIP,' then I thought 'I could make this into a tutorial too.' I added some of my own comments to the screens. This doll started out as me wanting to try a bunch of different things. I wanted this to show how I work. Some people don't know that MS Paint is an amazing program for pixeling.I usually start out by having my pre-made palette in the corner set on a color so that I can see the light colors well. The palette was a pain in the back making, but well worth it. It has just about any color I could want. If anyone wants it feel free to ask and I'll post it. That little typed up plan for the doll really helped me. Usually I make it up as I go, but that doesn't help much. I nearly always have an alternate idea that pops up, so I draw it separately and if I like it I keep it or if I like both I keep both. I start my doll by drawing on the outlines of the clothes, hair, shoes, etc. Then I choose colors, having outlines helps me create the picture in my mind and see how the colors would look together. Basically it's so I can see the finished doll with colors in my head. I always have the base with changed eye color and/or makeup available at all times because I usually want to change something along the line somewhere.

Yes it did take ages. I originally had random splotches from colors I mixed for my first dolls, but it wasn't working out very well. So I eventually just went through the 4+ hour process of mixing colors and obsessively making them all the same size since they aren't on the little "gradient" that MS Paint has.

Yes, I'm female. I'm not necessarily patient, I'm just obsessive compulsive. Once you get into it, it's pretty easy.
