Dollistic Tutorial Part One

A tutorial on a unique drawing style I’m developing

Dollistic, before you ask, is a combination of the words “Doll” and “Realistic.” It’s just a nickname for the style of drawing a character that looks more like a Ball Jointed Doll than a real person. Regardless, there are still several attributes to drawing this way that make it far closer to realism than other styles such as anime. Many techniques I use can be transferred to other styles of drawing as well.

This is the first of four tutorials I’m going to do regarding this picture, each with its own theme.

Tutorial One: Sketching, outlines, and basic design
Tutorial Two: Coloring of skin, eyes, and facial features [link]
Tutorial Three: Coloring of clothing [link]
Tutorial Four: Hair and special features

Links will be provided once the tutorials have been posted.
