Day 43 of #100daysofspoolknittersandlittlelooms- I just fixed the face of a Well Well Well Doll
I was not happy with the original face of this Well Well Well Doll –
I like the big oval, but the first version of the face felt lost in it.
I did quite a few drawings to find one that felt right for the doll and settled on this one.
Now, I am content with this version of the doll because the features of the face stand out from the background embellishments and the expression reads clearly.
When you’re making a doll, it’s a really good idea to audition lots of different elements.
Sometimes, it can take time to figure out precisely what isn’t working.
Ask yourself a lot of questions- Is the shape a problem? Is the placement of the features an issue? What does the expression communicate and are you okay with that? Are the colors right? Is there enough contrast or not enough? Is something missing that needs to be added? Is there something that is extraneous and needs to be removed? Feel free to change what doesn’t make your heart sing.
Need help with drawing faces? I made a video to help with that:
