Acknowledgment:

 Lab by David Bernstein.

Corrections, clarifications here:

2.15 - Change the word stroke to draw. Buzzy
3.2 and 3.3 - Change the wording of "draw a line to" to draw a "line to". That should give you a hint as to the correct method to use.
4.9 - Think about the order in which you need to render the various elements. To draw the antenna under the helmet, you must draw it before you render the helmet itself.

 

 

Turning in your work
