This is my mornings effort.

It is not at all what I had in mind, but time is short presently so the gag caricature will have to come later. I was going to do a full body shot, but in keeping with everyone elses I stuck with a face pic.

This is the simple black line drawing I created using fibre tip pens.

This is a vector pic (my first!!) created in Inkscape. I shall tweak it when I have more time. Not at all sure how to use the fab features on that program yet.

Yes indeed, just for fun. I don't really like contests very much, but I love it when we all share what we've come up with. It's so interesting to see the different styles.

Leah, I love it!!! You've got the huge grin down pat, and great job with inkscape too. I used it at work for awhile, it really does a good job once you figure it out.

What moves? All I did was use the paint pot to try and fill in with some colour. Not particularly well either I thought. Smile

There are so many aspects to these programs, I shall be an eternity figuring it all out. Meanwhile I think I prefer the plain black and white version.

No sorry, crossed wires there Leah. I was under the impression you did the whole thing in Inkscape vectorized. I should have read your post more proper like. Embarassed

I have now become an Officer on this *facebook group as well because the person that was doing it doesn't have too much time on her hands so I offered to help. Talking of time, I've not got too long left to produce my Tom Cruise....................

Good work Simon and Ira Smile
