Two days ago, I posted an animation that I made on my iPad with the Procreate app, which captures a stroke-by-stroke video as you draw.* Yesterday I posted an image of the menorah, the final frame of the video. I liked the image, but as a friend noticed, the placement of the candles was off, so it didn't really look like a proper menorah, which has eight candles on a lower level, plus another candle -- the shamos (used to light the other candles) -- that is placed higher than the others. So I decided to fix the problem. I opened the image on my computer, and used Painter to throw a grid over the image. Then I used some cut-and-paste and digital pastel to get my candles to behave. While I was at it, I did a little more clean-up and re-cropped the image. Here is my new, improved menorah.
