Thank you for a fun class, Alan!

I don't have much experience in Illustrator, and my computer had a hard time keeping up, so sometimes it was a bit difficult. Nonetheless I enjoyed following along with the cat at first and then I made this rat.

I made the grass using a gradient and the same roughen effect but on a curvy line and I applied some blending (multiply) on the layers of grass. I'll definitely continue discovering everything we did in the class (I accidentally pressed the 'reverse spine' function, which was also interesting to say the least. So much to learn!

Is there a way to hide the tiny circle at the end of the tail? I was not allowed to send it back. (It's barely visible, but I'd still like to know.)

Thanks, Lucy
