I tend to rely on the pen tool a lot for my graphics, because I'm
comfortable with it and tend to excel with it. With that in mind, I
once had an instructor at VFS that made her characters (which were
actually very cute and ...kinda awesome!) by using only shapes and
pathfinder in Illustrator. With that in mind, I thought I'd give it a
shot! I'm not sure what it is, but it was made, VERY carefully, using
only shapes and pathfinder, and a sketch I had as a guide. The hardest
parts were the whiskers and ears, though, because of all the dips and
curves. So, for the most part, Mission Accomplished. Next step is to
try making one with a faint gradient for depth. We'll see.
