I’ve noticed the growing trend of dollers who only doll characters from their RPs. I’ve never been into RPs, so it’s kind of irritating. It also makes the dollers only doll the SAME.THING.OVER.AND.OVER. Because of this, you won’t learn to doll anything else, and if you try to create something new, then it’ll probably look like utter shit. I’ve had people tell me that dolling them helps you do x, but if you’re just dolling the same thing, you’re learning to do that particular subject, not whatever you’re trying to learn. One of the things that helps you learn a new artistic concept is the ability to apply it to a wide range of subjects, which is the opposite of dolling only RP characters.
Plus, repetition gets boring quickly. If you’re just going to doll the same thing, who cares any more? Try something new.
