Birth of chibi liani dolls : design sketch

First thing first, the sketch or the idea ;)

All creation begins with a sketch. If you can't draw it, you can't build it . There is a lot of methods to learn to draw, the one used here is to take a really good tutorial from a very talented artist and training for instance (it is called learning from the masters ;) :

You can also train with this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOcvarqm4G0

In this case, we get that :

Sorry, very lousy result but not every one can be a good craftsman ;)

So in our case, we will start with a chibi version to test if we can draw it, sculpt it and animate it ;) We will post it on dolls maker forum to see what they think about it.

It ended up with liani and her pet friend spouf  : 

For spouf preston animation book, pixar, dreamwork... is gold to create cute character.

So we will wait the forum feedback to see if it is a good idea to sculpt or not ;)
