Grab the handle of the plane and gently throw it upwards and watch it glide long distances and spin in the air.

Summary: Fly the plane.


As with the rest of the body, the tongue and nose can be broken down into larger planes to plan out the form. Once you have them looking as if light is shining on them, go in with even finer details. To make the snout look wet, look at your reference for the placement of small, bright, hard highlights. These are called “specular reflections”. They occur where the light source is being completely reflected off the surface. Note that the “white” of the eye is rarely white under normal lighting conditions because it is recessed into the head and cast into shadow by the skin around it. Capturing these shadows is the key to making the eye appear to be set in the face and not just painted on the surface. Small, bright specular highlights give the eye a glassy sparkle. The ears are composed of a few large planes that turn up at the edges. Be sure to establish the forms before adding graphic elements like spots, and remember that the spots are affected by the light and shadow of the plane they are on as well.

Summary: Add detail to the nose and mouth. Add detail to the eyes. Add detail to the ears. Continue adding details until you're satisfied with the results.


In your hamster’s last days, make him as happy as possible. Put soft material in his cage. Let him sleep as much as he wants. Put his favorite toys in his cage. Your hamster may lose energy and may not participate in its usual exercise. You do not want to make him excessively tired by holding him. Talk to your vet or parents about what diet would be best. If your hamster is suffering from heart damage, for example, you may want to avoid fatty foods like sunflowers. Teeth issues can also plague older hamsters. Try feeding him soft foods like rice or cereal.

Summary: Make your hamster comfortable. Avoid excessive holding. Feed and water appropriately.


Bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the floor. This stretch is great for people who already have lower back pain. It stretches the lower back along with supporting muscles in the hips and glutes. Keep your other leg in a comfortable position - usually against the floor, either straight or bent at the knee. To add a hip-flexing element to the stretch, use your hands to rotate your leg by gently pulling your shin across your body.
Summary: Lay on your back on a carpeted floor or exercise mat. Hold the leg against your chest for about 30 seconds.
