"Hello, we are cartooning today. And we are drawing a whole bunch of animals. And we just talked about anthropomorphism. Which is basically making an animal and drawing him with human characteristics. If you are still not behind me, because I know that some of you might not be. And example of this would be a marine biologist, with a degree in marine biology goes scuba diving and see different creatures of the deep all the time. He once saw an ordinary sea sponge and decided to draw it. Well from that, he anthropomorphized that character, and I don't know how well I'm going to do this justice. But I'm just going to draw to the best of my abilities. We've got a cute little character known the world over, and we know who he is. So lets draw something else, like I don't know, somebody name out an animal. Did somebody say cat? Cat is a good one. He's going to have his little nose. He's going to have happy human like eyes. His scraggly little mouth. His teeth. He's going to have a nice smile. He's a very scraggly cat. I'm thinking this is like an alley cat. He's got some scraggly hair. And like I said animals with human characteristics. So this guys going to be walking upright. He's got his paw on his side. He's waving, hey how you doing. And that sir, is one happy feline."
