Make your own Paper Toy (Free printable)

I have been in love with paper dolls since I was a child.  I have always admired origami and watched tons of creative Japanese shows that were aired in children's shows in Peru. My little brother was a much bigger fan that I was. He actually did most of the amazing paper projects. It was so exciting creating them, that I have been looking for them to share with you. However, It has been really hard to look for the shows we used to watch but I did came around some cool books and sites.

Today, I have an adorable lil' guy for you to create. It's very easy to make and it looks like you spent all night working on it. Well I did spend all night designing this lil' guy but it was all worth it when I saw my sons smile from ear to ear and of course the paper doll didn't survive for long. My son squashed the little fella in 2 seconds but I made him a second one. This one will go straight to the shelf until he is older.

Things you will need:
Printer 
8.5x11 sheet  (thicker paper stock recommended)
glue
scissors
cutting matt
x-acto knife

Have fun!

Angeli the Digital illustrator:

Hi,

I hope everyone had a great long weekend. It was a very relaxing weekend for me.

Becoming a digital illustrator is a lot of fun. I was introduced to the digital art medium in college. At first I thought we the artists would be screwed since it began to take over the art industry. Later, as I began to use it more often, I realized that digital art has many more advantages than drawing by hand. Your imagination runs wild and you can keep changing your mind on your composition or colors.  So why wouldn't anyone give it a chance? Here's a look to a couple of my early digital illustrations. Please enjoy another medium of my art.
