A tutorial from Aardvark

Sometimes my will is weak.

When I saw what fellow WC-er Maxine had created with her Aardvark Fish Tutorial - take a peek here, and saw what wonderful creations people were posting on the LE forum , I have to confess my will broke completely!  I purchased my first ever tutorial.

Was it worth the money?  You bet it was!  Lots of useful tips and ideas, but no matter how hard I tried to follow the instructions I couldn't quite end up with a fish ..

It nearly looked like a fish, but not quite, something just wasn't right...

So I tried another...

THEN I realised what the problem was!

These weren't FISH!!

The were SEA MONKEES!!!

After that revelation I tried the eyelid part of the tutorial and I think I ended up with my first ever Sea Monkee in Space, and she looks pretty PO'd about it!

Sea monkees in Space?

I think I need to work on the eyelids a little!  In my defence it was getting dark when I made her and the light in the suporch is really bad ;o)

So would I buy another tutorial?  Yes, most definitely!  The trick is to take the information you learn and turn it into something else, to put your own twist on things.  Sea Monkees hadn't entered my mind until I got the 'It's a Wonderful Fish' tutorial and brainstormed with a friend.
