Goth is a lifestyle and it is a means of expressing one self through the medium of art. Some express their thoughts through music while some express themselves through arts and crafts. One of the most common ways that goth people would express themselves would be through making dolls. It is actually quite easy to be a gothic doll maker if one is interested in doing this sort of thing.
Now there are two ways of going about, starting from scratch or buying a plain doll from a store and just customizing from there. Now the first method is actually a bit tough and takes a lot of time because one has to have existing skills on how to do crochet. From there a doll can actually be made from scratch.
Now the easier way to go about would be to just buy a small and plain rag doll. This one is the easier method if one does not know how to do crochet. So now that this stage is already out of the way, the next step is to create clothes.
Now there are actually a lot of interesting cloth patterns that one can follow in the internet. Now the clothing that will be made for the little figurine would depend on the gender of the figure whether it will be a male or a female. Now some of the things to take note of is that since it is going to be a gothic figurine, then the clothes have to be goth inspired.
There must be a lot of black colors as well as a combination of some red as well as some white. Male dolls would usually have black long sleeves with some accessories like a cross. Female ones would have lacy skirts with striped high knee socks.
Once the clothes are already made, then the next thing to do would be to fill in the other details of the figurine. First thing to think about would of course be the hair. Most goth dolls actually have long hair for both male and female genders. The male ones would have medium long or spikey hair while the females would have long straight or tied up hair. The color would usually range from black and yellow to even red or violet.
The last part to take note of now would be the face. Now the facial expression of the figurine is one of the most important things to take note of. Now one can either make it cute or a little bit scary however one thing in common found in all goth dolls would be that they would have a poker face. The design of its face can then be made in any way that the creator would want.
So basically, those are some tips that one can use in order to create one of these dolls. These are just the basic steps that one can use but the rest will definitely be all up to the creativity of the creator. If one would want to make a beautiful goth figurine, then he or she would have to release all those stored up creative juices.
