So here is a do-over that gives a more fully fleshed creature. I started with a simple <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Ellipse\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ellipse\" rel=\"wikipedia\">ellipse<\/a>, to shape the head, eyes, <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Mouth\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mouth\" rel=\"wikipedia\">mouth<\/a>, ears, and nose. I stretched and placed them after converting to paths where necessary. For the jagged teeth, I decided to use the calligraphy tool set to Wiggly. I duplicated my mark, flipped it to make a bottom set of teeth, and then clipped them both using the shape of the mouth. Then, as in most of these creations, I added some facial and head hair using my beloved pencil tool set to spiro path, triangle in. Finally, I added three rectangles with some curves, overlapping, and with fades of warm colors. I think it&#8217;s a great improvement over <a title=\"http:\/\/365sketches.wordpress.com\/2009\/12\/23\/2-is-an-elfin-jagged-tooth-hat-wearing-fool\/\" href=\"https:\/\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/2009\/12\/23\/2-is-an-elfin-jagged-tooth-hat-wearing-fool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">number 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am already getting a little bit critical about earlier entries in this series.
