How Long Dolling:
Since about 1999. I first became aware of dolling when I saw the dolls created by Veriria. Then was so inspired by Veriria, Mommyfeet and Josie's Dollz that I began creating my own bases.
Paint Programs I Use: I'm a proud user of MS Paint. I draw all my dolls and bases in it. They are all drawn with a mouse on the mouse pad and using only one layer. The curve tool is amazing! When I want to use more tools, such as blending or airbrush, I use Serif Photoplus 6.0, I find it is easy and provides just the right size brushes. I make my images tranparent in either Serif or Jasc Animation Shop programs.
How Long Drawing:
Since I was old enough to hold a crayon.
Tools of the Trade:
Derwent Graphic Pencils, Charcoal, Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils
Doll/base is my own.
