I started the project with the template and shapes that I felt more comfortable playing around with (ellipses, lines, rectangles, etc.), before trying new shapes. For me, the body was the hardest to construct since I tried curveVertex(); for the first time, and even now, it doesn’t necessarily look the way I intended it to (it kind of just looks like a marshmallow now which I guess I’m also okay with). A lot of my project did come from happy accidents (i.e I was trying to make cheeks but ended up making ears, etc.) which I thought was fun, but it’d also be neat to eventually be confident enough in coding that I can actually make what I intend to make.

In terms of planning, I didn’t do anything much last project so I decided I’d try to make something in illustrator first (as seen below) this time and then recreate it with code. Unfortunately after a string of accidental shapes and still not being able to understand how to make curves, I ended up just kind of making everything on a whim for my final!
