Paper Dolls

I made these a few years ago when I was fascinated with paper dolls and drawing clothing in general. I had these Disney paper dolls that I always used to play with, so if the ones I made in the picture here look familiar, thats because I used the faces and general body shape of my paper dolls of Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty. I had to use them as a template because I am not so good at drawing faces by myself. Or actual bodies for that matter. So instead I traced the outline of the Disney paper dolls and copied the faces. In my defense, I did design the underwear my self, as well as all the clothes for the dolls. The idea for these dolls is that they're visiting different countries in Asia (which is why they're not Asian themselves) and to fit in with the locals they wear the traditional dress of each country. Everything is drawn and shaded with coloured pencils. The costumes will be in the next posts.
