Blythe Doll Portrait

An artist I follow on Instagram posted a picture of her new Blythe doll with an outfit she'd created for her and I just had to paint it. I get my inspiration everywhere/anywhere.

She was surprisingly hard to draw, especially her face and I realised it's because she is so featureless. A lined/wrinkled/weathered face is so much easier to draw as you can make so many more shapes, measurements and comparisons. It was a worthwhile exercise though and I managed to catch her likeness in the end.

Why not try drawing a doll yourself? At least they stay still for as long as you need them!
