In my opinion Egg you should close this topic and give Sally a good hard smack as for Raymond i would put Egg on his face.

I will reply to this in a PM and to Egg. Egg isn't offended, too bad you are.

Sally,

Albacore is joking, he's not offended.

Several ways to give one a smack. Having been at the bitter end of it, and knowing how that feels, hard to take it in stride.

Several of the members have joked they wouldn't mind taking the other kind of smack at me. If Gary did a mistle toe tutorial, I'd probably be voted the one most likely to be put under it.

Oh, well, my own fault, my posts are often tongue in cheek. I've been told I am the queen of the double entendres. Should dye my hair brown, get artificial intelligence.

Now must work in the "egg" lesson, I should have known Albacore was just "kidding", I was being just an "egghead". Eggs: hmm -- Great place to start drawing a face. Or in the case of Valery who does so well with drawing people via elipses, the elipse, once drawn is easily altered to form various muscles on the human body. Did that in a leg study I did recently, but have to make everything funny. I can remember things better when they are enjoyable, life is more worthwhile living.

Glad you weren't offended, Egg.

Then you'd get lots of kisses. You would complain?

With all that help have you cracked it yet if not there is another way to do it.
I hope this is not regarded as a hijack if so please remove it

I had to burst out laughing...with all the fun in this thread, I went out for Chinese food last night. My fortune cookie saidf "The Golden Egg of Good Fortune will Bring You Luck This Week."

Now Egg's name has been enhanced...I'll always think of him as the Golden Egg of Good Fortune!

Needless to say, I had to give a try at making some golden eggs in his honor

I d'loaded the .xar file .. was just going to make the eggs a little less pointy

Then re-drew from scratch ... checkout how fewer objects are needed for a similar (not necessarily better) effect.

Very good, Raymond...I still have a LOT to learn about this stuff, and I am not comfortable using layers. It's funny--frames make perfect sense to me when planning an animation, but I just don't have a handle on layers in a still image.

Probably digging up a tutorial on layers would be a big help!

Thanks...
