Write Away

I've done this a couple times. I usually care more about getting the personality to show through rather than the looks. I was really happy with the body language in one drawing I made of this adorable couple I wrote about. One of them was trying to put her hair up with one hand because of the wind and the other was holding her other arm in both of hers and pulling her ahead. It's hard to explain but I loved it even though it wasn't very good.

When I'm trying to get some kind of visualization for what they look like, I tend to use online doll makers. This Lord of the Rings one is my favorite. It's got more choices for skin tones than most of the ones I've seen, which is good because I like to play around with those. Plus I can kind of fake different body shapes with the different races. I just wish I could find one of these that I like that lets you make fatter women. At least this one lets you make old ones.
