"Family Affair" - Cartoon


Here is a cartoon I've been working on for the last few days, I got up early and spent an hour drawing it, then another hour inking it. I thought I could do this faster but it always takes longer than you think.

I read the father Brian Keith took his own life with a gun after battling with lung cancer in 1997. So glad I quit 11 years ago. Sabastian Cabot died in 1977. He left behind great works to enjoy again and again. Bagheera the Panther from "Jungle Book" (1967) and Voice narration for "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" (1977).

PRINT MUSIC - "Happiest Again in Nottingham"

Today I found the PrintMusic! User's Manual on their website. It only took about five minutes and some prayer before I found the answer. In many musical pieces I have been assigned, they ask you to play an accompany melody that usually follows the main melody. This means while certain notes of the main melody are being held, others are being played beneath it to fill in the background.

Anyways you can not just do this when you plug in the notes. The program will only allow a certain number for each bar. But I read that buy using different "Layers" you can! You have to hold down "SHIFT" and the "AAROW" key "DOWN" to get to four different layers. The other layers will be "dimmed".

The last thing I have to warn when doing this is, plug in the "Main Melody in first", then let the "accompany parts" on other layers in order of Hierarchy.

"Hierarchy": Any system of persons or things ranked one above another.
