How important are sketches when creating your custom stuffed toys? Can't you just tell the manufacturer what you want to see and let them be? I mean, they are very popular, especially stuffed animals. It would be easier to just tell the manufacturer that you want to make one of a dog with big ears and a long tail. They're supposed to be the experts, and you're probably feeling sure that they can handle it without your help.
But what you don't realize is a sketch can dictate the success of your toy. If you have an idea for a plush doll, it's probably an original idea. Wouldn't you like your ideas to be followed strictly? If you don't provide a sketch, how can you be sure that the idea will be followed? You're banking on that cute idea. You wouldn't want to receive a shipment and your idea wasn't followed. Without it, what makes your toy different from the others?
In addition, it can also save you a lot of time, effort and even money. You can't just "sketch" your toys over the phone. Let's take for example stuffed animals. Can you just call the manufacturer and ask them to make toys wearing a blue shirt with a design of a bird? Here's what will happen. The manufacturer will ask how blue, and what bird you want it to be. If you say it's up to them, they'll send you a sample that you might possibly not be happy with because it's not what you're looking for. You wasted both your and the manufacturer's time and probably wasted some money along with it.
If you have an idea for a stuffed toy, take the time and effort to make a sketch. You don't have to do it yourself; you can get an artist that is familiar with toys so that he knows how to sketch them. You can't just get any artist; get one based on his experience with plush toys. It wouldn't matter if he makes sketches for movies if he doesn't know how to adjust it for creation of a plush toy. The sketch cannot have incredible amounts of detail. For example, there wouldn't be any use if the sketches have a very detailed facial expression that you usually see in Disney movies. No one can capture that on a stuffed doll.
That's why the best thing you can do is approach an artist that is experienced in this area. If you know how to draw, you can do it yourself and approach a reliable manufacturer. It's just simple art. You can ask them to take a look at your sketch while telling them what you want to happen. You can then order a stuffed toy prototype based on the sketch to see if they get the design idea. You'll save yourself the frustration and you'll be sure to get what you want. After all, it is your toy idea.
