Article: Read online articles about bjds (ball jointed dolls). Familiarize yourself with how they are constructed and strung together. If possible, try to handle a bjd in person. Lastly, be familiar with the metric system, especially if you plan to sell your sculpt. Ball jointed dolls are always measured in centimeters. Their eyes are always measured in millimeters. If you plan to sell your sculpt, use these as your primary measurements. Ball jointed doll forums and social media groups are great places learn more about these dolls. There are 3 main sizes of bjds: yoSD, MSD, and SD. SDs are typically 55 to 57cm (22 to 22in) tall. They are sometimes called SD10. SD13 are typically 57 to 60cm (22 to 24in) tall. You can also get them larger: 65 to 72cm (26 to 28in). MSDs are typically 42 to 44cm (17 to 17in) tall. Yo-SDs are typically 26.5cm (10.4in) tall. SD stands for "Super Dollfie," MSD stands for "Mini Super Dollfie," and "Yo SD" stands for "Yo Super Dollfie." The larger your doll is, the more expensive it will be to cast. Most SD dolls tend to have mature proportions with full breasts or defined muscles. Some of them can have softer, more child-like bodies, such as the dolls made by Volks. MSD dolls tend to have child-like, but you can get mature ones too, like the Fairyland MiniFee. Most yoSD dolls have childlike features, but you can make one that is more mature and slender. Mature yoSDs are usually known as mature tinies. Bjds are closely related to Dollfie Dreams, which look like anime characters. As such, even realistic bjds have slightly longer legs, bigger busts, and narrower waists than the average human. Some sculptors like to make their dolls even more stylized, with long, slender, willowy bodies. A great example are Dollzone and Doll Chateau dolls. Consider making an anthro or animal doll. They tend to be yoSD sized with childlike proportions. Cats and rabbits are the most popular. One of the things that makes a bjd different from other dolls is that they are anatomically correct. This means that male dolls have penises and female dolls have vaginal slits. The sketch needs to match the size of the doll you are making in centimeters/inches. The genitals do not have to be realistic or highly-detailed. They can be a simple bulge or slit. A basic bjd will have joints in the following area: ankles, knees, thighs/hips, wrists, elbows, and arms/shoulders. It will also have 1 or 2 joints in the torso, as well as a joint in the neck/base of head. A torso joint is typically in 1 of the following areas: ribcage/waist, under-bust, or hips (underwear line). Some dolls are double-jointed in the elbows and knees. This means that the joint is a separate piece that fits into the knee and elbow sockets. The thighs fit into sockets in the hips, and have a vertical slit for the elastic so that the doll can sit. Some dolls have a separate joint in the upper thigh. This joint is a clean, horizontal line. You don't have to do this, but you can if you want to. The core will simply help you figure out how big to make the hollow parts of the doll. You can draw the core on tracing paper, then tape it over your sketch, or you can dry the core directly onto your sketch. Bjds come bald and without eyes. While you can make wigs and eyes yourself, these can be time consuming, difficult, and expensive. Most people just buy the eyes, wigs, and shoes from various bjd companies. To make your shopping easier, ensure that your doll fits the standard sizes. BJD eyes are sold in even sized numbers ranging from 6 mm to 24 mm. BJD wigs are sold in inches based on the head circumference. A 7.5 wig will fit a doll with a 712in (19cm) head. BDS shoes are sold in mm sizes. Your doll's foot needs to be small enough to fit inside the shoe.

Article: It should be relatively close to the bottom of your paper. It should be intersecting the first one, and should be right side up. You can do this by drawing parallel lines next to all of the original lines. Make sure they're parallel. You can either make it complicated, or just simply erase all the inner lines. But make sure you erase your lines neatly. Since Israel's national colors are blue and white, these are recommended.

Article: If you find yourself using a complex emoticon such as an Eastern emoticon often, you may find it easier to create a shortcut for it so you don't have to always track down one to copy and paste or hunt for characters. It's crucial that you don't type a phrase that you use for other things, as the shortcut will get replaced any time it is used. A common trick is to use HTML-style tags as the phrase. For example, if you are creating a shortcut for () , you could type &table; into the "Replace" field. The & and ; ensure that you won't replace a real word by accident. Space in any text field to insert your emoticon.
