From zebra to lion to monkey

After making basic shapes,using shadows, and using path operathions to make intersections and other stuff, I was aloud to try to make a basic animal; there were many animals to choose that Mr. Muntwyler put up on the bourd. I decided to make a zebra first because, coming from South Africa and seeing them alot, i have started to like them. It was quite tricky to make the nine stripes on the face of the zebra in the exact same position as the ones aross from it. After completing the zebra I tried to make a lion. The tricky things on that were the whiskers. I liked this task because it challenged me a bit.

Making different shapes



In the latest classes I learnt how to make different shapes using path operathions. I had to try to do it with out even going on to path at the top of the page, I tried it with the clicking Ctrl and then anothor key like the * or the ^ or even simple ones like + and -. My favourite shape is the one with a circle and a triangle that I used difference to make. I put a circle infront of a triangle then I clicked on both objects whilst holding the sift button. Then I clicked on path and then on "difference" that is in the "path box"(the box that comes up when you go over path, on the tool bar at the top of the screen, with your mouse.
