Animals, Initials, Masking, and Textures

     My animal is a bird. I came up with it by trying different combinations of my initials. I tried to make an animal from Z and C. Since I couldn't come up with an animal using only two letters, I used my initial. After two or three minutes I finally created an animal using my initials. The Z is the wing of the bird, the C is the head, and the T is the spine and tail. I learned how to use the type tool, the brush tool, the move tool, masking tool, transform tool, and layers panel. I would like to try to make more animals because this activity made me think and it was a lot of fun.
