tips on drawing cats: a thread
many cats have a favorite object that they obsess over and it’s good to give the cat the object and see what they do. this also makes for a more personalized drawing
cats expand quickly but if you want to draw the kitten version of a cat just do an outline like this, keeping the head the same size
if you can write the word “awesome” you can draw a cat.

(and if you can write “GLITTEr” you can draw a dog)

stripes can be tricky to simplify but if you checked your striped cat at home, many of them have some recognizable letter-shapes on their face, especially the letter M (the most common in my experience)

Is it common for McDonald’s have a pleasant waterfall in the back to soothe you while you wait for your order at the drive through?

I need to know how rare this experience is so I can visit all the McDonald’s waterfalls
Good news everyone, we have located a second McDonald’s Drive Through Waterfall. I google mapped it and there is indeed a photo of the waterfall!
Third McDonalds Drive Through Waterfall* is in Colorado. Congrats to Colorado!

*I’m told they turn the waterfall off occasionally

Right before I started Strange Planet I tried to launch a series called Dolphlock Bones: Fishteries Mysteries. Dolphin solving mysteries with an assistant, Flotsam. It did not take off! Strange Planet was not my first try.

If you are trying to make something try many somethings

creative journey for me has not been like climbing a mountain as much as walking along a long ridge looking for the right opening to be able to cross (but also it’s raining sometimes?)
