Log number 5 from [link] :"Dear log,
Met a new friend out on the beach named Gull. He told me that I was surfing in his territory and that the beach was for 'locals only'. I told him that wanted to become local, though, so I think he's going to help me! I figured it'd be hard to learn from a flier about surfing, but when he told me he had seen Kelly Slater surfing, I got really excited. He said he'd teach me some of the stuff he saw.
For a creature with short legs that has never surfed, he sure knows a lot...
And I'm getting better!

This one was done very late in the series of pieces that I did. Usually I prefer to do water and backgrounds by hand, but water like that is so tough to replicate... I ended up taking a photo and editing it to meet my needs instead. I'm actually happy with the results
Gull was a character made up before this drawing, but I wanted a drawing showing the characters side by side, so this was done. He's supposed to be a little friend and teacher to Kitty. Basically someone for the little guy to play off of.

I still say you should use the lil fella more often. He'd be a great character to work with

I read about how territorial surfers can be and it can get pretty ugly. I'm glad that Kitty and Gull become frinds!

Yeah, I read about that too, but I figured Gull would be a nice enough bird to help a newbie like Kitty out

Still good.
How many more of these are you making for CFAR?

I made... I think... 18 drawings in all? Not all of them are being posted, obviously I'm posting the ones that are going up on the site. I think we're at the halfway point now.
Thanks for all the compliments on these, Chu

Hehe, kind of a 'You're kidding...' look as he watches a tiger surf
