Fritz the Owl may be in over his feathers, but Vic may have one final trick up his sleeve!  đź‘€ Don’t sleep on this thrilling installment of “Any Which Way But Snewz!”

Any Which Way but Snewz (part 4)

 A surprise wake-up call turns the tables! ⏰ But was it luck or a hidden weakness that sent the slithery Snewz slinking away? 🤔 One thing’s for sure—Vic’s timing is anything but alarm-ing! 🎉

You might notice that not a lot of details went into designing the BACKGROUND.  While it does help the reader have an understanding of the environment a story takes place in, it can be a clever shortcut to skip drawing the same background elements over and over -- especially if the location doesn't change.  This can be a GREAT way to manage how much time you spend on your artwork.  Remember, if it doesn't affect the story, it may not be worth drawing!

Q&A: Sometimes, we use shortcuts because we're avoiding something difficult.  Other times, it can be a smart way to do something BETTER.  What's a cool shortcut YOU'VE figured out (mine is stacking the dishes before washing them -- it makes it seem like there are LESS dishes to wash!)?
