My mother started me...Thanks so much for that :) <br /><br />My mother started me on my paper doll journey. As a kid I had Princess Di dolls and pretty much any doll we could get our hands on. I vividly remember having chicken pox and my mom got my Heart Family paper dolls to get through it! I'm probably showing my age a bit :) I also got this amazing Crayola fashion plate set for my 10th birthday. That was the first time I MADE my own doll and it was addictive! <br /><br />As a teen, I would take my babysitting money and buy Tom Tierney's books. I still have drawings I made by copying his books. I really should post some of my childhood dolls!<br /><br />I moved away from paper dolls (and art altogether) for a while in my twenties. This blog really started as a way to fill my down time as a stay-at-home mom and it's really blossomed from there. My goal was to keep myself working. If I had a regular project (ie: a new technique to talk about every week), then I'd be a better person, better artist, and better mom. <br /><br />Without readers like you, it wouldn't be worth it. If you enjoy the blog and learn something, that means the world to me.<br /><br />And draw! There are a lot of artists/designers that I follow. I'll put together a list soon. One you should check out is Von Glitschka at http://drawsigner.com/. He's a hard-core Illustrator user and strongly advocates drawing. Check out his stuff.<br /><br />Thanks again for the lovely comment :) It keeps me coming back and creating more!

I'm a graphic designer but not much of a pen-and-paper illustrator, so these tutorials help. If it weren't for you and Adobe, I'd be lost. <br /><br />I was going back and rereading these and I just wanted to thank you.The Digital Dorkettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161969244894684434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563276873949724553.post-90060969766173683202012-07-02T06:49:21.440-04:002012-07-02T06:49:21.440-04:00I'm very flattered - thank you!

Your links seem to be off, but I'll find any PD site I can. :) Anyway, getting to my point now. I posted links to you site in a paper doll group I'm a member of, where you already have fans who are excited for your Goddess book. I can't wait to see what's next!Corissiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348388369680555382noreply@blogger.com
