Disclaimer: I know not many people like dolls, and even less so blythe dolls, so I am not directly linking up to the photo which I was inspired from for that reason.

The image below is heavily inspired by a photo of one of my dolly friends took on flickr :)

I would say blythes was somewhat an “acquired taste” for me. My first “encounter” with blythe photographs online was one of her head opened, with all the inside eye mechanisms exposed, not the prettiest image for a first timer I must say!

I was of course rather freaked out initially, but over time I see more photos of blythe dolls taken all over world, going places, wearing clothing accessories lovingly hand made or purchased by their owners, in little photo stories… having different looks and occupations… and I guess I fell in love! :)

I discovered I could sew small clothing for this large big eyed girl with a smaller than barbie body, and realized I found an unexpected muse for myself after having relocated a few years ago, I haven’t really looked back I guess! :) Blythe is still my favourite doll so far, why? Big head, check, big eyes, check, barely any nose, check, little mouth, check…! For some reason I can’t get enough of her even tho I have other types of dolls in my collection I play with my blythes the most!

Felt like a while since I posted any art posts! Sorry about that! Here are a couple scans of some quick inking practices. The thing with inking with real pen and paper is that there is no “control z” so if I made any mistakes there’s no real turning back ^^;;; and I do not like to use white out (liquid paper?) If I do cleaning up in the computer, it takes way too long ^O^; But inking with pen is good practice for precision artwork ^^;/

While working at the shop on Thursdays when business is a bit slow, I read some scanlations online, some of the artworks I came across is really inspiring ^O^! Recently I especially enjoyed work by Minami Maki. Found her work while randomly clicking on the scanlation pages ^^; Love the detailing she put into the hair and eyes, and not to mention omakes crack me up so bad sometimes :P Her works are more Shoujo Manga tho, so guys may not like it as much me thinks?

I have way too many sketches at hand I have no time to ink/CG ^^; Three scans of rough sketches which I drew while being at the shop ^^

Not sure why I keep drawing that type of open mouth these days :P should draw some other types for practice ^^;

Wah? Summer is ending already? =_=; But heard on the radio that Sunday is gonna be Hot, like over 30 degree celsius hot ^^;;;;

Was reading some random scanlations online and came across one called Angel Voice, which inspired the sketch below ^^
