Description
For a class project. The goal was to make something for the World Wildlife Fund, and one of the endangered animals. I was originally going to do white rhino, but thought that it wasn't such a good idea, since the White Rhino sleeps under trees, and deforestation means that they just sort of fall asleep under the hot African sun and bake. It was kind of funny, but I didn't really like it.

My original idea was that I was going to do a homeless panda, so he was going to be sitting on the street with a cardboard sign that says "Will Work for Bamboo" but then Peter (my teacher) didn't like that idea, and suggested that I have a similar sitting panda sitting where the bamboo used to be. Now, I've already been docked marks in that class for not being original enough once, so I didn't go with the idea as he said I should.

Instead I looked over the idea for about half a week before, while sitting on the bus I thought about half a dozen things, like how I could do all of this with the minimum amount of work, and an advertisement that I had seen on the bus months before that was "Erase the signs of a stroke" where there was a needle with a pink eraser as the poky bit. There were also thoughts like when I was working on the thing, how my actual drawing looks all sketchy and rough because erasers are so damn hard to control, and you can never redraw what you erase the way you drew it the first time.

All of these ideas combined together rather nicely to make up the idea that I wanted to communicate.

Anyway, I was told that I really did well on this one, so we made the joke "Haha, looks like I've finally reached my full potential" based on a comment that one of my other teachers made about one of my previous projects that I knew wasn't very good, where he said that teachers had to be very careful about the words they say and how they say it, so they have to communicate "You sucked on that project" without saying those words, so he chose the words "I don't think you've reached your full potential", which meant pretty much the same thing.
