Pretty proud of this girl, she was a fun experiment! And now I’m obsessed with designing paper dolls…
If you wanna make her yourself, she’s available here in PDF form! It’d really help me out, and I’d love to see how everyone assembles their little goth girl.

To create a truly eerie paper puppet, follow these instructions:
Select Your Material: Choose paper that mimics the delicate texture of human skin—thin, smooth, and pale. Consider using off-white or aged paper for an authentic look.
Prepare Your Tools: Arm yourself with sharp scissors or a precision knife. Treat each cut like a surgical incision, precise and deliberate.
Cut with Care: Begin by cutting out the puppet's body parts—limbs, torso, head—each piece resembling a section of human anatomy. The paper can yield under the blade, but it`ll go away after a few moments.
Assemble with Intention: Use glue or stitches to join the pieces together. Don’t be afraid of things getting messy - sometimes sewing or fusing flesh and bone is tricky. With patience, the puppet will make a perfect shape - a flawless reflection of human form.
Add Details: Draw or paint features onto the puppet's face — freckles, moles, pimples, and wrinkles. These details breathe life into your creation.
Test Its Movement: Attach strings or wires to articulate the puppet's joints. When you manipulate it, observe how it moves, breaths, and shows emotions. Take the time to adjust all the joints; stiff movements will easily give away the fake.
Behold Your Creation: Step back and marvel at your paper puppet. Make sure that you haven`t forgotten to add imperfections and asymmetry.
Did you manage to blur the boundaries between art and anatomy? If not, then look through the previous steps.
