Robert Best Barbie Paper Doll




Here's a little project I finished.  This is a Robert Best Barbie paper doll.  I used Robert Best's lovely Barbie designs and sketches to create a wardrobe for his basic Barbie doll.  The art is by Robert Best and I do not claim it as my own.  I only transformed the art into a new paper doll.  Mattel owns the rights to Barbie.  This paper doll has five pages which includes 18 lovely outfits.  All of the outfits have been edited from the orignal designs and shapes to fit the doll.  This doll is not for sale in any way since the artwork I used to create it is not my own.  I am not intending to infringe on any copyright by creating this doll.  I simply wanted to take art from an artist I admire and adapt it into a paper doll format.

Quick Marker Doll

Last day to enter the paper doll contest.  Voting will being tomorrow.  Here is a quick single page paper doll experimenting with new markers I purchased.  These markers were 'watercolor' dual tip makers, however they don't seem to work well with water.  The paper wasn't the best choice and buckled somewhat.  I may add more outfits to this doll when I find markers I like better.  This is not a cleaned up doll, so coloring goes outside of lines, but that would not mater if she is cut out I suppose.
