Amigurumi- Working Without a Pattern
AmigurumiWorking Without a PatternHi everyone! I'm TheSmall-Stuff (https://www.deviantart.com/thesmall-stuff) and what I love is to make amigurumi, but I'm never patient enough to use a pattern. Because of this, I've found and developed a bunch of techniques that I use while designing the dolls that I make! What I'm going to try to do is explain my thought process in making a doll, and share some of the techniques that I use to form the shapes and the details in a character. Sorry it's long, but I tried to use lots of pictures. I hope this helps! Lets start :la:

Working Without a Net
I did what any of us would have done when learning that my Internet service had been shut down. I cried.

Anyone who has ever dealt with Electronic Device Repairpersons should already know that "an hour" in their language translates into "sometime between an hour and the rapture."
So I waited an hour. Then I cried.

How to (not) Sell your Comic at a Convention
