I started off my morning at the drawing board. <\/span>Long after I was hunkered in Bobby called to see if I was ready. <\/span>Ready? ~ Ready for what? <\/span>Well he wanted to know if I was ready to come meet him for lunch? <\/span>I didn\u2019t think twice and told him I would be out the door in 5 min. <\/span>There are many times like this that he doesn\u2019t have a chance to call me \u2018til the last min and not to worry, I can always make a lunch date with him happen at a moment’s notice.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After our little lunch I continued back at the drawing board and the little guy is almost completely sketched. <\/span>I still have to define his little nose and he is officially a little work in progress at the moment.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And I know Arlene would be proud as I have defined the background. <\/span>I\u2019ve learned that it\u2019s important to have the background defined before starting the rest of the subject so that\u2019s pretty much taken care of. <\/span>Even though the bg is not finished it\u2019s now ok to start filling in the subject, which I\u2019ve just started doing.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another thing about Kato ~ I took his little picture last summer but did not like the background of the picture. <\/span>I decided to put him on a baby palm tree and then add a nice whimsical background and there ya\u2019 have it thus far.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Below are the pictures I\u2019m using to get Kato\u2019s little expression and show how tiny this little guy really is. <\/span>And since I\u2019m a huge lover of monkeys, he\u2019s my first try at drawing an animal ever.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
