Epp! Need Help >_<'

Help is on the way.....

Welcome to The Joint, KellyW. )

You may find this list of links to various BJD-making tutorials helpful?

If, after reading through some of those tutorials, you still have some questions about what you need to start your project, then please feel free to continue this thread with your questions.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to answer your question, as asked.
A Ball-Jointed Doll is a Multi-media Art Form.

As a BJD Artist, it is up to you to decide what form your project is going to take.
That may include deciding on the character of the doll, which may include gender,
age, species, and so forth. You may or may not have a back-story for your doll.

The two most important things to decide at first are the size of the finished doll,
and what material you want to model it in. Sizes range from Tiny, up to 80 or even
100 centimeters, or more.

Depending on the modeling material you choose, you may or may not need to
calculate a shrinkage factor into the decision.

Once you have an idea of the finished size of the doll you want to make, and have
figured out the overall shrinkage, more or less, then it is usually a good idea to make
a couple of full-size working drawings, which often include at least a front and
side view of the doll. These working drawings are often helpful when constructing
armatures, or cores for the doll. Also, they are helpful for seeing overall proportions
and so forth. It is much easier to change a drawing than a full-size sculpture.

Anyway, I hope this helps?

Have Fun !!!
