Spent Sunday afternoon with Granddaughter Emily and the unique characters she has created on her iPad using some graphic software. When I first saw them, I assumed she'd copied and pasted them from some Japanese animation. Not true. Our 12-year-old showed me how she built them and colored them in from scratch, layering them, and using tools to enhance her creativity. The characters all have names and personalities she has created. Stunning. And that's not just a proud grandparent speaking, although Grandma and Grandpa and everyone is very much so.
She has acrylic paints too and when she mentioned that she was low on red, you can be sure Grandpa rushed out today to Michael's to get some with her. She has been exposed to Photoshop but finds it a bit complex and challenging at her age. When she's ready. . .

Meet Titania, Infinity, Indiglo, Dementia, and four others in Emily's cast of
characters. They're gender neutral so far and are still developing personalities.
Some of them have borrowed Emily's clothes. |
