4 x 6 Doll Dreams Swap

I joined this online art class more than a month ago. The address is www.dolldreams.ning.com. It's run by the lovely Adriana Almanza and her style of drawing is very unique. I first noticed her through SuziBlu - who also runs online whimsical mixed media art classes. Adriana's drawing is very doll-like and she teachers those who sign up, how to draw just like her! She is an amazing teacher and you get a lot of bang for your buck. She is continuously posting video tutorials - more than the course stated.

I joined a 4 x 6 doll swap hosted by Mary. There are 10 particapants. How it works is we all send our 10 dolls to Mary, who then puts together 10 lots of dolls, each lot having a different artist. So I'll get back one picture from each participant. How great is that! Can't wait to see what everyone'd drawn. Sign ups were about 1 months ago, but I only started it two days ago, and finished yesterday (it needed to be postmarked by today - talk about last minute. Seems to be the story of my life). With uni, my photoshoots etc, I just wasn't able to practice drawing or get 10 dolls drawn up for this swap any time earlier.

Do I like the dolls I drew? I have never used copics markers before, and obviously wasn't able to practice using them, until I drew my dollies. OMG. It is a lot harder than it looks. Ady makes it look so easy but damn, I could see lines everywhere, the colours weren't blended like I assumed they miraculously would. But not bad for a first attempt. So these 11 dolls (I made an extra one for Mary) are my first ever attempts at using copic.

So here they are:

My favourite ones are #8, #9, #10

These are the backs of the drawings. I've included little inspirational quotes just to fill up space. Lol.
