Dolls

My first toy that I remember.

boy on a tricycle

An old one.
 

Thank you Pacer for this challenge. It is something that I plan to work on: flat drawing to make 3D toys or dollhouse items, stuffed or using paper and cardboard.

This one was a pattern for a stuffed toy I designed two years ago. I really made the toy for a little girl.

Here's mine. A small isometric toy. At first, I just wanted to draw a few building blocks, but then I came up with the idea of ​​making it playable at the same time. So here's the result, it's colorable and -I think- quite playable. Let's play freely. ;)

Based on a known brand that makes such figurines, meet "Bill".
This is something I made about 4 years ago and still needs some work to refine it.
"X-rayed" 

Little update. I dressed the blocks up with a wood pattern. I also fixed some small details. I think it turned out pretty well, so this is the final one. ;)

Hi, I am a bit missing due to health problems with a family member. But I did not want to miss the challenge and in my moments of free time this has come out. I recycled Tux from another challenge 😊

@mrks9 I'm sorry to hear that. I wish a rapid and mild recovery for your relative.

Thanks, @Inkonic 💙

Robby the Nu-Retro-Future Toy Robot.
255 objects consisting of shapes, strokes and text.
X-rayed

@Inkonic I like the monochrome style and the small details!

I'm very glad that you liked it. Thank you @razr !☺

The style is similar to the previous one. At least it's the same wood material. Another wooden toy.

I was never very good at this childhood game.

Lalla the rag doll.
For the cloth/felt effect I used the Cross Noise B filter.
For the hair: I first draw a rope and coppied. Then with the Pencil Tool at Bend From Clipboard function I shaped the hair.
X-Rayed

Teddy bear. I have made several attempts and decided that this is as far I get with making it fluffy this time around.
