A few years ago I bought some Kosheshi dolls from Chinadoll. They are wooden dolls that originated from Japan and it is characteristic for them to not have any arms or legs.. I thought they were pretty cute and decided to draw one of them during my artsy down-times. The one below is a combination of watercolour and black Indian ink.
After I decided to see how it would differ if I used a sewing machine to "draw" it.
I think the end result of the embroidered one looks less refined and has a certain naive quality to it. I think to improve I could have made the smile more of a curved shape because here she just looks like she's staring pointblank. Still, I'm pretty pleased with it and gave it to my youth pastor's wife from my London church.
