Come along and join the fun in the first of 2014′s Tuts+ Vector Community Challenges! It’s a jaunt through the world of fashion where, as Heidi Klum says, “You’re either in, or you’re out!” So get on in and put your toolbar to the test in designing hair, clothes, and more.
Get Involved: Doll Dress-up Challenge!
This design challenge began with two tutorials: Creating a Base Body and Designing Clothes and Hair.
The result of the first tutorial left us with this fabulous base body, perfect for a dress-up game.
And the second tutorial went through styles and techniques for handling hair, clothing, and accessories.
Now it’s your turn! Download the doll template and customize the doll in any way you want. It’s a new year. Time for fresh ideas and new challenges.

- It’s your choice how you stylize the base body. You don’t have to keep the skintone, shadows, highlights, or facial feature colors in the file.
- You don’t have to spend hours and hours on your piece, the project’s aim is to be fun, fast and individual.
