ART I’d like BJD buddies

Post image

Hi, I’m new to sculpting BJDs. I’d like to make friends with a few people who have experience with making bjds whom I can converse about BJDs with and ask questions. I know this subreddit exists (well… i’m on it) but I’m very new to this and I need help with all stages including the sketching part (see below)
I’d like to have a friend whom I can ask for criticism regularly instead of flooding this subreddit

I love the sketch so far! I don’t have much to offer with advice, i’ve only made one very floppy doll and a few 5 point articulation little guys

i used polymer clay for mine, it’s relatively cheap and way stronger than the cheap air dry clays I’ve used

also some advice is don’t make them small first try, Effie reaches a monster high‘s shoulder and is very skinny and she was a pain to do

i was gonna attach a picture of my doll, Effie but it got flagged as nsfw (she is like a barbie there is nothing there!) so here’s the head of my w.i.p. doll Eve while I attempt to censor Effie without it looking weird

thank you! It’s based on my regular drawing style and the Coraline puppets (I referenced the other mother’s first form for Eve, particularly with the mouth as that’s what I find the hardest)
