Day 5 (edited)

For this project we were to come up with an original character and bring them to life using Adobe Illustrator CS3. We had to come up with the concept and details to our characters. Then from our sketches we were to translate it to the computer. My character is a rag doll, but one that is from a dark toy store. Her dress is in a somewhat lolita style with patches sewn on. There are stitch marks on her head as well as her leg. Her hair is colored with two shades of turquoise and her eyes are an olive green color. Using lines of different stroke weight, I made the smaller details such as for the stitching and for larger ones like making the eyes. The most dominant feature would her head and her eyes, which are larger in proportion to her body. I tried to balance the details on her body. The stitches on her head are on her right side and the ones on her legs are on the left. Overall, my final design accurately represents my sketch in that I included most of the original details. One thing I changed was in the action pose. Instead of having both legs on the ground or one being kicked back like I attempted, part of it was detached.
