I began by playing with the merge shape tool and that's when I created the beak which gave me the inspiration to create a little chic. Once I figured out what i was going to create I used all three types of drawing objects on a single layer to create most of the facial attributes and then I grouped them all together. All of the parts that make up the chic are in the same folder and I played around with the order so that the body shape would show up in front of the legs.
I used 3 colors with the paint brush tool to create the grass. After i created the barn and fence I tried putting the chic behind the fence but just didn't like it that way so I switched the positioning of the folders.
I grouped a lot of the attributes of the chic just because it made everything easier to work with once I knew I was happy with what I had created on each layer.
Really my main pitfall was figuring out where to use the masking feature. I finally decided to use it to create the sun. I'm feeling more and more comfortable with flash the more I play with it.
