No, it's not cheating, it's a perfectly good way to do things.
Probably just doing that won't work very well for much smaller
than full page drawings: you have to consider carefully the
effect of the individual characters. There is a character in it
comes out as a black square -- I changed those to  (').
This still needs work: the eyes don't look right.
