A tutorial for a formal, floor length dress. This tutorial uses simple tools for shading, such as smudge and also uses layers, which can be found in most graphics programs.
Dolls are unique in that they are not exclusively part of any other form of pixel/digital art. Some would argue that dolls are not art at all, but the reality is that the variety of dollers is so great that some are little works of art. The dolling community is as varied as the dolls it produces, with young pre-teens drawing simple dolls, to serious art students creating dolls for fun, to mothers who simply want to do something creative from time to time.
"There are many ways to go about giving colour and depth to your dolls. In this article I'll be showing how you can do that. Read more for explanations of pixelshading, dithering, toolshading and mutt-shading. How you can shade depends on your graphics program as well. When using Paint, it will be hard to toolshade, because you have no options of smudging or blending colours. Either way: read on for more information on how to shade pixel dolls." -taken from the web page.
