Free to bounce. Free from having to crawl. Enjoy it while you can. Next stage running all over the place, climbing up death defying bookcases, getting into places where you shouldn't be.
i'm new on illo friday, too. yours are too cute! hey, can i ask you a few questions? if you don't mind re. what program you are using to make those neat drawings? are you using a tablet? how do you make the lines so smooth? from free hand?
thanks a lot, duncan. all the best to you and the family!
Hi Ikat Thanks for the comment. I use Illustrator 9 on a PC, No I don't have a tablet, all drawings are started on paper, then scanned, and traced over in illustrator. The smooth lines are done with the anchor tool and lots of twiddling about with the curve tool. I have on occasion used the auto trace tool when I've used an inked drawing but it's quite hit and miss.
Thanks again and to all the other nice comments from every one else. BFN Duncan
