Hello again and welcome back. The topic for this week is graphics, and the focus will be on the creating your own cartoon characters. My software tool of choice for making 'toons is Anim8or, which aside from being a free program, has all the features you need to make your own characters. A good way to start is by building a figure out of primitives and simple shapes.
The samples below were created using Anim8or.

Using Anim8or you can also add the element of motion to your carefully crafted figures. It takes some time and trying to make a real animation, but it's definitely a project worth doing. Give it a go!The picture of the week was taken in Melbourne during my last trip there in April of 2006. I've always appreciated a good pun!
