Water Creature
Date: College Freshman, March 7th, 2011
Time: 30 minutes or more
Materials: Mechanical 0.9 Pencil
Description: A picture of a creature floating in the water with its head peeking above the water. There are webbed spikes and spins along it’s back and arms, some on its head. It has flippers on hands and feet and a long tail.
Artist’s Comments: The creature doesn’t look like its’ swimming, but in my mind, its tail is doing most of the work to keep it afloat and the arms and legs are for coordination. I imagined it to be ready to push itself backwards in the water with its hands and legs at any threat. The legs are close up to the body because it is cautious and scared. Its arms are out to position the head above the water without sinking backwards. I got the idea of this creature from a dream I had, where I was the creature, travelling from pool to pool in the city because I needed water, but I could survive outside of it for a day or two at most.
