Starsketch - My First Custom!

[Fizzy Scrumptious]

Hi all! With the abundance of free time on my hands I figured that I could finally get to work customizing this old fakie that's been sitting around for literal years, hairless, waiting for me to get started Technically I've customized before, but it was a G4 blind bag that I painted in 7th grade so I elect not to count it. lol

So here is my first custom, of my ponysona Starsketch! I only used what I had on hand and it was certainly a learning experience (and a hack job - I'm not selling this anywhere so I took scissors to the hairplugs to be able to get the yarn through ).

There were def lessons to be learned from this project but overall I'm really happy with how they came out! I'm good at drawing small but painting small is a whole different thing

They look really cute! I love their yarn wings especially!

Lol, my first custom was also a blond bag. I’m counting it as my first custom, but it’s like an honorary first. They look super nice! And I like the little yellow stars on the nose. It’s a very lovely touch! I recently finished my “first” custom doll as well, and I completely understand the learning curve. With time and practice, I’m sure we can both get better at it!

Aww they look adorable! I really loved this character design when you posted it.   The yarn hair and wings make them look so soft all over.

Wow!! Especially for a first custom, she looks fantastic!! The linework on her symbol is absolutely stunning! I also made my first custom out of a fakie, and it ... was not good. She's adorable!!

She looks very cute, and I adore her symbol!  The yarn hair makes her look so soft.  I've never done a yarn rehair, was it hard to do?

Thank you all so much! I appreciate it

Thank you so much! The symbol took a few repaints and I used a pink sharpie pen for certain spots I'm of the opinion that if you enjoyed making a custom it's good no matter what!

I still have my old blindbag custom! she's an honorary first too I'm sure we'll both improve, good luck on your customizing adventures!!

tysm! I've never rehaired anything before so I will say that I did it the totally wrong way... I tied strands of yarn together with a single knot and pulled the ends through HUGE hair plugs that I made with scissors. They're less hair plugs and more hair holes
