Taking a break and rough tracing a sketch. Still lots of problem areas in this little fragment.

But I love the wonkiness of it. I think nowadays, I prefer the problems rather than perfection.
P.S. My guess is that this is the tail of a * Jaguarundi.
* Yes, I'm an animal freak.
I agree, don't make it perfect!
I'm with Rogie & Jonathan, I like the imperfections. Looks great so far.
Perfection is not worth the cost of sanity. Those curves will take over your life.
love it . . . typography perhaps?
That's what happened to me when I made my STEED font. I tried for about 5 minutes to make everything neat and perfect, but then realized that doesn't fit my personality at all. So just be honest. Then it will be awesome.
...unless it's a Space Shuttle spring for NASA. PX not PT!
Isn't it amazing how many little design decisions go into making something as simple as a knobby swirl? No wonder font makers are a special breed.
Seuss or Burton? :)

I'm too late for Font Aid IV, but finishing this fun little exercise will likely take me weeks anyway. For one character.
Whenever I attempt to wield the bezier, I'm reminded just how insanely talented great type designers are.
