OK, so for sculpture class, we have to make a whimsical animal with human qualities. So, I took a very long time and did a sketch of a crane with one leg bent under its belly while flashing its wings and dancing. It's also wearing a Greek God like robe thing while it's drapped with see-through veil and wearing a ornate head dress and choker.
So, I showed my teacher, and she was like, where's the whimsical element? I said the crane was dancing and everything, and she was like, oh, so it's both whimsical and its human characteristic. And she told me to add ballet shoes or something............... But I wanna keep it like an ancient fairy/goddess crane kinda thing. Not a ballet dancer! I mean, a bird as a ballet dancer is done to death like a kangaroo is a boxer! (a guy in my class is actually doing that, he copied from a book.............. -_- )
Any ideas?
