The goth subculture is actually one of the most fascinating of all subcultures because it is dark and mysterious. One would probably be familiar with this subculture through pop culture such as music or architecture. Most goth people would even express themselves by creating goth dolls in their own likeness. Now if this particular activity would be of interest to anyone, then here are a few tips on how to be a gothic doll maker.
Now if one would want to start, there are two things he can do in order to get a plain doll to start off with. Now the first way would be of course to start from nothing by buying some thick threads and weaving them to create the body of the figure. However, do take note that in order to do this, one would be needing some crochet skills.
The other way would be to simply just buy an existing rag doll. So using either of these two methods, one will already be able to have a plain doll. So the first step in this process would be to create the clothes for the little figurine.
Now there are actually a lot of interesting cloth patterns that one can follow in the internet. Now the clothing that will be made for the little figurine would depend on the gender of the figure whether it will be a male or a female. Now some of the things to take note of is that since it is going to be a gothic figurine, then the clothes have to be goth inspired.
Now in order to make the goth inspired clothing, black is usually the color that is used mixed with a lot of white and a little dark red. The boy dolls would usually be wearing dark long sleeves, pants and an accessory. The females on the other hand would usually have tight dark pants, lacy skirts, and knee high socks.
Now when the clothes have already been sewn, then the next thing to do would be to fill up the other details. Now one usually start with the hair because this is the easiest part to start with. Now the goth dolls would usually have long hair for both the men and women. While the men would have medium longish hair, the women would have straight and long hair. Of course the colors would vary from around blue to black or even purple.
The last part to take note of now would be the face. Now the facial expression of the figurine is one of the most important things to take note of. Now one can either make it cute or a little bit scary however one thing in common found in all goth dolls would be that they would have a poker face. The design of its face can then be made in any way that the creator would want.
So as one can see, there are actually a lot of things that one can experiment with when working on these dolls. Of course everything will all be up to the creative aspirations of the artist. However, these are just the basic steps that one can follow in order to create a good figurine.
