Here is Magrat, my second attempt. I like her much better. Her head has better shape and I like the look on her face. I think I could have done a little better on stuffing her upper body but other than that she is looking really good now. I have never made a doll to this extreme before and I just love it! I painted the face much better and learned a little trick about the watercolor on the face... I sprayed it with Fix All after I put the skin tone on. The colors did not bleed at all. Only thing is I had to use a scruffy brush to smooth in the paint...but it wasnt bad at all... I need to learn more about sculpting the face. Her nose didnt turn out as good as the first doll..but its not bad. I know the more dolls I make, the better and easier it will be for me to sculpt the faces... I made her legs already but I will put the photos up later...Off to work I go...

  3. Hi Patti,
    Yes, she is quite busty..>LOL.. And yes this is my design. I am having so much fun with making her. I have been inspired by you and other professional doll artists! The trick is going to be her arms... Im not sure how I am going to attach them yet once I make them. I did the legs, and I am going to put the photo up soon...Im not sure if I like them but I will probably change the design later. I just want to get this doll made soon...UGH..

  4. Judi,

    Thanks so much! I am hoping to redo one of my older dolls and see if I can do more soft sculpting on her...
