Description
This is for #projecteducate 's Digital Dolls week featuring the basics of digital dolling. Also asked is to document and explain techniques. Throughout this process I documented each step, and the animation can be seen here: [link]

This is my D&D character Cybil, a half-elf ranger. She has a snarky personality and mostly keeps to herself.

Anyways, how I doll is as follows:

- Select the base, and white out all of the shading. I usually like how a base is shaded originally, but it helps me add my own style to the doll by shading everything myself.
- After that, I leave the head bald and start outlining the doll's clothing.
- I shade the skin underneath the clothing outline and start smoothing out the skin's outline with a very basic anti-aliasing method. I'm still learning the basics of anti-aliasing.
- Add on some accessories and edit the face a little at a time.
- Start shading the clothing. I started shading her armor first, then her dress and bracelets/anklets.
- I used my striping method to add the green designs and seam details on her dress. The tutorial for this method can be found here: [link]
- Added on details such as an onyx in her bracelet, wings on her anklets and stitching in her boots and dress.
- Shaded the hair and edited the face some more. Also used anti-aliasing around the hair's outline.
- Edited the hand a little and added the bow. Anti-aliased some more!
