Build your own empireAlmost anybody who uploads their artwork on an art site appreciates attention be it for fun or for more professional reasons.
Here I have compiled a small list of ways you can help yourself network through dA a.k.a building your own empire. This is just based upon my own experiences and witnessing other's doing. This is by no means a how-to on being that front page artist. You either have be be beyond elite and catering to the popular genres of art OR become a well known hack doing the same thing over and over again.
1. First things first, improve your artwork FOR YOURSELF!
Your first goal is to stop worrying about getting exposure. Oh the irony of that first step. You need to be your own artist discovering things for yourself on top of improving your techniques. Enjoy your process of artwork, you'll be surprised at how much better your end product looks versus a piece of work you did just to do it and get it uploaded on dA real fast. Do not compare yourself to other artists tha

starter kits available on etsy! [link]

If you buy any of the starter kits and still have questions, please note me and please show me what you do with your doll. I'd like to post links on here ^_^

I didn't cover painting or sculpting. There are plenty of resources out there to find the info you're looking for

forgive any and all typos

*Magweno re-uploaded her poseable doll tutorial. Since this is more than enough, I will not be making a poseable art doll tutorial. You can use this. Use these basic tutorials to get your head start. Whatever is not covered in either tutorial it is up to you to experiment. My advice to you is to pour over every tutorial you can get your hands on. Even if it doesn't seem relevant. There will usually be at least one method or material you discover by looking at seemingly irrelevant sources.

Thank you so much for this - I've been looking for a tutorial for a while! I have a half finished art doll, I just couldn't decide on the best way to attach the clay to the fur. Thank-you for sharing

One thing I would like to add is that cutting fur fabric is super easy and not as messy if you use an exacto knife, or razor. When I work with fur for hats and such I simply trace my pattern with sharpie keeping in mind the direction of the fur and cut it out. It makes sure you don't shear the fur or leaves tons of tufts everywhere!

I really just want to say that it is amazing that you made this tutorial!!! Thank you heaps!!!

I've been working on my first art doll for 3 months on and off and this just really... oh boy you make it look so much easier then I'd been thinking it was!!!
particularly the part of adding the sculpted parts to to fabric. I've been struggling with this part really bad lol

Im curious though about how well the hot glue holds it all together???

*ZombieHun Feb 23, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist
