This illustration of a Barbie was really tough. I still don’t have an actual doll to do the illustration from, so this one was created from a series of photo’s which I found and have been sent. Trying to understand the dolls shape and structure proved difficult and in the end just drawing lines which went against my gut instinct provided this finished result!

Barbie dolls don’t seem as shiny as Actionmen, very Matte! Even though these dolls are meant to represent some sort of “ideal” figure, it’s great how nothing can control the hair!
