Cute characters

In lesson we had to follow a tutorial on making cute character

Step 1 was to make a star and round the corners of the star which we did by going to effects- stylize-round corners.
step 2 we then made the eyes by using the ellipse tool.
step 3 was to create a mouth we made a circle and cut it in half by using the direction tool and deleting whats not needed. To make the tongue we made two circles the same size and overlapped them we then used the intersect tool make the tongue.

all these tools can be helpful to create the shapes you need to use for the characters we design like using the pencil tool and shape tools and combining them together. I made a robo dog which I might use in my project
