------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's one of my art projects that I finished in art class! For the beginning of the school year, we were learning about color values and how to make op art!^v^ It was a little frustrating working on such a big piece of paper, but it was fun (and I think worth it too)! I'm thinking about re-coloring this in using a black art marker to make it "pop out" more. Anyways, I hope you guys like my work here! Thanks!

It's alright!
I took a closer look, and he is so CUTE and FLUFFY! I love him! I think you did an awesome job with everything here! I've always wanted to try and make a fluffy poseable draggie myself. I'm wondering how you made it and put it all together? He just looks so awesome!

Aww thank you so much I'm so happy you like him! I hope you make one someday - I'd love to see!
There isn't really a lot of advice available (not that I could find anyway!) from art doll makers, I guess they are considered trade secrets if it helps though:
I started with making a basic skeleton out of steel wire. Spine, front legs and back legs are attached using steel epoxy (which is amazing stuff!) then I sculpted a clay head and feet onto the armature and baked the whole thing in the oven.
Next I painted all the clay parts... and spent ages and ages looking for advice on how to add the fur! But didn't find much so I simply lay the dragon skeleton out spread-eagle style on some faux fur and traced a very rough outline around it with a pencil. I cut out one piece then traced around that and cut out another.
Then I spent a while looking up how to sew... since I probably haven't tried for 7+ years. Ladder stitching seems to be the best option of the ones I tried Sewed the two pieces sandwich style with the skeleton in the middle, padding it out with stuffing as I went.
Then a thorough brushing and hair cut later, I dyed parts of the mane and glued eyes into his sockets and felt to the bottom of his feet
Finito
I'm afraid I can't offer much help with colouring fur - I'm not happy with any method I've tried yet
But I hope this helped!
