Wild creature

     The wild creature I sculpted was a penguin. This is an adapted penguin from the future who has gills so it can breathe under water, it has no hair due to climate change, and it has powerful webbed feet for swimming.
     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.
