Pocti Toy Design blog

A very useful blog post on how to imbue the plush toys you make with character, something I think about a lot.

Most of my toys start as an idea in my sketchbook, then I make them and spend a bit of time thinking about who they are and what they're like.

Usually the notes from around the drawing end up being the story that appears with them on Etsy. Wikipedia usually helps me flesh it out and define things like "Brave" or "Pure".
