As I said, I can't draw complex things. These Gnus look silly. I traced over
the GNU gnu-head in gimp to simplify the outline for scaling down and drew
the body freehand (whoever it was - some guy at Apple, I think - that said a
mouse is like drawing with a crayon stuck in a potato wasn't wrong!).
Although hopless at drawing, I have a good eye for art and see two quite
fixable problems with these sketches:
1) All the gnus are identical - since I just re-pasted them from a master
image, that is understandable. They should be standing around in different
poses, though facing the same general direction.
2) They are too flat. The line art must be kept simple, but not THAT simple.
The heads look fine (as I copied them) but my bodies are not too hot. I do
like the shaggy bottom of their bodies, though. Something rendered in 3d (as
the geomes were) would probably look really cool but I can't get through
Blender's obtuse UI that far yet!
