Tools Rule!

The image you see here is "Hermia" - my Fiance's cat. Many-a-student has seen this cat drawn on their papers next to their grade. Maybe even YOU have seen it, if you've ever taken any of my fiance's classes in college. I'm not actually sure if seeing this kitty is a sign of a good paper or not - perhaps it just appears randomly with no rhyme or reason.

Anyways - I showed you my fiance's kitty drawing in order to help explain the source for MY kitty drawing.

The kitty you see below was actually my version of how my fiance draws cats - but I decided it was time to explore what lies beyond drawing things free-hand. I know that there are a lot of times that artists draw things free-hand, but I am going to need a few hundred more years practice before mine could ever be used for anything.

Anywho - This is me exploring the Line and Circle tools.
My fiance was amazed at how smooth and symmetrical my supposedly free-hand drawing was - which was fun to allow for a bit before introducing her to shape tools.

We've actually super-imposed kitteh into many situations that made us laugh - so this has definitely paid off in plenty of good times.

  1. Wow, the Hermia kitty drawing is really awesome! I think it expresses the true essence of "kitty". In fact, it rather reminds me of a certain kitty curled up and snoozing away at the moment...
