Serina – Belly Dance Paper Doll to Color<\/h1>\n

I spend a lot of time doodling and drawing. Fantasizing on paper what I can make in cloth. To simplify the drawing process, I have a collection of croquis that I use as a proportional guides for my sketching. In the design world, a Croquis, (which is French for “sketch” ) are used as a simple tool to keep designers from having to map out female forms over and over. As a costume designer, I build a croquis for each of my regular clients, and then use that to sketch out our costuming plans together.<\/p>\n

Serina - Belly Dance Paper Doll to Color<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Serina started out as a croquis, but I found her so charming, that I turned her into a more complete drawing. When I was done, I realized that it would be fun to treat her like a paper doll with a variety of costumes. So here is Serena, my first belly dance paper doll to color. \u00a0I’ve included 8.5″ by 11″ printables below if you want to print her out and have some fun coloring in her costume – or even designing a new one!<\/p>\n
