Hello everyone!
I wanted to share with you something that happened to me some days ago, maybe a coincidence? I don’t know and am still pondering about. Thank you for listening.
I’m currently completing my MA in animations and have this design course. We were only drawing fantasy stuff for about a month until this week that our subject and medium suddenly changed and we were assigned realistic drawings of a chosen animal using pencil. I chose a specific and endangered crocodile called the gharial. The week went by and I didn’t have time to start my project until the day before my class which I had to draw 8 perfect drawings in no time! I was so stressed and skipped some sleep but really loved what I was doing and drew every picture with precise detail and whole heartedly. After two drawings I went to bed and the next morning just about one hour after I rushed and started the third one, the news page which I daily visit was hit with a strange and out of context report of a rumored crocodile in an artificial pond in a very busy entertainment center in my town (which you may know is Tehran).
We have no wildlife near let alone crocodiles! Surely someone had set free their pet reptile over there or something but why would anybody do such a thing doesn’t make sense. and by the next morning when I completed my eight drawing, things went serious and firefighters were sent off to investigate. And then the official report was that there’s supposedly no crocodiles but the artificial pond has alligator gars which closely resemble the animal I was drawing called the gharial.
Well I’m wondering! Maybe we should start drawing family and friends rich and happy!
