I just happen to come across these images for another tutorial for a first doll. So if you read the First Doll Tutorial I published here, this short tutorial on making a little blue dress may also be helpful. If you are a more experienced doller, this tutorial is kind of pointless. Sorry.
Tutorials
In this tutorial I'll be showing a series of images that detail the progression of a small doll. It's a tiny base by Esoterically that is a challenge to use. This doll was one in a series of four, for a collaboration of Music Video Dancers at Glam!. The doll is based on the dancer from the music video 'Push Up' by Freestylers. I added text on the images to express my thoughts at the moment of creation... deep, huh.
Once you have a few dolls that you are proud of, you probably want to show them off to your friends, other dollers, maybe even the world. There are some easy ways to do that online, such as a photobucket account, online profile or an account at deviantART. All you have to do is create an account and upload your dolls in an easy way, and people can see all your hard work in an organised way.
Why go the extra step and create a website?
So you want to make your first doll, but you don't know how to start? Follow this simple tutorial to get some confidence, because you just need to try and draw! Start by picking out a small to medium sized base.

Ninique has made a wonderful dollmaker, where you can add your own props very easily. Though I'd recommend not uploading dozens of recolours of the same top (...) it is a great way to contribute to a dollmaker. I added a few props as well!
