Drawing animals and such
A really ugly cat drawn mostly in object mode
• Find a recipe to draw these, e.g. on Google type: "how to draw a cat"
• Then reproduce if you can ;)
• Rather use object mode and disable stroke since these models often ask you to overlay ovals. Without stroke you
may overlay various geometric shapes of the same color.
E.g. here is a cat made as explained in Creature Features [1].
Alternatively you also can first draw the object with the pencil tool (or the pen tool) and then use the Paint Selection
or Paint inside mode of the brush tool to apply colors.
Of course in the same drawings you can mix pencil, pre-built objects like rectangles and paint. E.g. draw the outline
of house with the pencil and then draw the roof with the paint tool.
Save each object as symbol
Once you are happy with a drawing, you should convert it to a (reusable graphic symbol): Right-click->Convert to
Symbol; Graphic. E.g. call it "cat". You then can remove the layer you used to draw this object, since the raw
drawing is no longer needed.
