When I worked at a local video store I would often make posters to advertise various promotions using the Drawing toolbar in Microsoft Word. These were fairly basic graphics but they served a purpose. One such poster attracted the attention of my youngest son who asked me to show him how I created these drawing objects. I showed him how to transform a blank page into an amusing full-size drawing object in no time at all.
First of all I pulled out a circle on the page. At this stage the size of the circle was not important; I just kept it a comfortable size to work with. Then I pulled out another, smaller circle which I positioned in the centre of the original one. I highlighted this inner circle and filled it black. I made a third, even smaller circle, which I positioned on the inside edge of the black circle in the north-east compass point position. This is a basic cartoon eye, complete with white spot of reflection.
To make the eye an individual object rather than three separate ones, I held down the Shift key and selected all three circles. Going to Draw/Group I converted the eyeball into a drawing object that could be resized and moved as a single unit. I highlighted the eye and copied and pasted to make a pair, which I positioned side by side. I pulled out a small ellipse for a nose, which I slid into position under the eyes.
