I tried to stay as true to the picture as possible when sculpting it, but I also added different colors and textures to make it an original animal.
The hardest thing about working with clay for the first time was that I wasn't sure how the clay would react to the things I tried to do with it. The easiest thing for me in this project was getting the general shape for the animal out of clay. I learned how to atatch different pieces of clay together and still have it be strong.
