The objective of this project was to make a paper doll with at least three different outfits. We would have to present it with a downloadable link. 

Although the "doll" did not have to be human, I wanted to be able to design clothes. When I was little I was set on becoming a fashion designer for years. I would draw clothes and design weird outfits with high heels. Eventually, this dream turned into me wanting to be in the Marine corps, for some weird reason. But, I've always held onto that dream a little bit. 

I wanted to make a doll that was non-binary. Growing up I only had female paper dolls, and while I'm sure there were male ones, I wanted to create one that could be either. 

I started off slow by roughly drawing an outline of the body. I spent a lot of time on developing the body and making sure the proportions weren't too skewed. I then turned to creating outfits. I wanted to make one more feminine and one more masculine. I drew the dress first. I took some of it from memories of past designs I've done and a dress I once saw. I drew the jacket in the likeliness of the one I have and paired it with boots. The pants were tricky. Originally I had found a free vector of denim and messed around with it to make it work into what I needed. However, I didn't know until after hours and days of waiting for Illustrator to load that I could have done it a simpler way. I made the pattern bigger and it caused Illustrator to lag less. 

From this project I have learned that making things realistic isn't always the best idea. There is nothing wrong with simplifying something. Even though the texture on the pants aren't sizable to the pants, it still looks how I intended.
