After it was fired and I painted on a base layer of burnt sienna, I started painting it. These are the final pictures of my frog. Obviously I made the colors abstract and unrealistic to kind of go along with the fatness of it. I love how it turned out and I think it's really cute. When I was first starting to make it, I was unsure of how it was going to turn out because I didn't know how to make it any fatter than I had already made it and I was having trouble making its legs. Compared to the size of its legs the toes look super round and unproportional, and I know it wouldn't look as fat without them. Also the eyes are pretty big and bug-eyed, adding to the cartoon-ish look. I do think I could've made its body fatter, but at the same time I think I made the body big enough and it would've looked weird if I had made it any bigger. It looked rounder when I first made it because it was just two pinch pots, but it deflated and I crushed it a little bit in the process of adding the legs and eyes and texture on the back. It doesn't really resonate with Henry Moore's fat animals as much as it should, but I like how instead of making it bigger all around I just made some of the features stand out, making it look fatter.
