Challenge: Make the Avatar Your Own

If you’re up for a challenge, see if you can create an avatar that looks something like this:

To make this, you need to replace the body with one of the shapes from Chapter 1, Project: Creating Simple Shapes, and add a head. Don’t worry about arms and legs to connect the hands and feet to the body—that would make it harder in later chapters.

And, of course, you can make whatever kind of avatar you like. Just remember to make one with hands and feet—we’ll need them in later chapters.
