PROGRESS OF THE CLASS
I. Organizational moment
Hello. I check the availability of accessories. Is everyone ready for class?
II. Introductory conversation
Today in our lesson we have a very interesting and unusual topic.
- But before I voice it, let's remember what the topic of the previous lessons was called?
- What did we draw on this topic?
– Image and reality.
- Animals, people.
We conveyed the character of the animal, sketched the figure, depicted a person in motion on the themes “We are playing”, “Mom in the kitchen”, “Morning exercise”, “I am riding a bicycle”, etc. Those. we painted reality, what we really see. But today, guys, our topic will be called “Image and Fantasy”
3. What do you think we will portray about this topic?
- Unreal things, fantasy.
5. What fantasy characters can you name?
- Spider-Man, Batman.
6. Do you like to watch cartoons? What unreal characters can you name?
- Cheburashka, Push-Pull, etc.
Now we’ll watch the cartoon and pay attention to how the artist depicted something unusual.
7. Did anyone see anything unusual?
– A strange camel, a crocodile with many humps, etc.
So, let's start working on our own. You paint with large brushes, you can do it without preliminary drawing. But your task is not only depict a fantastic beast, but also show fantastic nature which surrounds him. As an option, children are offered books with three-dimensional images. But besides this, you must give an unusual name to your being and compose about him history.
The color can also be unusual when depicted, not quite familiar, you can somehow decorate the animal in a unique way.
During independent work, I walk between the rows, conduct individual work, and tell mistakes.
Children depict fantastic animals and birds, connecting part of one animal with part of another. For example, a dog is painted with a fish tail and bird legs, or an elephant (with broad strokes) has wings of some bright color grown in place of ears, etc.
Showing the illustration “Pull-Push”
I turn on the cartoon (fragment)
III. Explanation of new material

I show an illustration of a turkey (Fig. 5) and a Dymkovo toy "Fig. 6"
I show illustrations of lions "Fig. 7", "Fig. 8"
Showing didactic tables with images of fantastic animals
Showcasing the Animal Transformation worksheet
Showing illustrations of ancient animals
"Fig.9", "Fig.10"
IV. Independent work
- Image
- Scenery
- Story
Fantastic music sounds while working independently
V. Summary of the lesson
At the end of the lesson, we analyze the work with the guys and do a review.
The children themselves talk about their impressions of their comrades’ work.
1. Why do some people look more like a fantastic animal? Why?
2. Who was better able to convey fantasy in color?
3. Who has a better fantasy landscape?
4. Which work is better done compositionally? Why? etc.
If there is time left, the guys tell the story, who came up with it, and say the name of their character.
VI. Homework assignment
At home, try to make up an extraordinary story about your animal and come up with an unreal name, if anyone has yet to come up with one.
To the next lesson, bring postcards, reproductions of masks or masks themselves, carnival processions in masks, etc.
The lesson is over. Thanks to all.

Very often, psychologists, when working with a child, ask him to draw a fantastic animal, i.e. not existing in nature. Such a test helps specialists understand the worldview of the ward and better understand the current situation. But not only psychologists can use this technique. This article will tell you how loving parents, preschool teachers, and grandparents can decipher the messages contained in the fantastic animal drawn by their beloved child. Children's drawings can reveal everything that lies deep, on a subconscious level.
So let's get started.
Size
Regarding the size of the resulting pattern, the rule “the larger the size, the more strength and energy” most often works. Large fantastic animals on the page indicate the energy and self-confidence of the authors. Their small size speaks of uncertainty and enslavement. Bondage also manifests itself in cases where the animal is so large that it does not fit on the sheet.
Position of the drawing on the sheet
The central position of the pattern is considered normal. The closer the drawing is to the top edge of the sheet, the more possessive the child is, the more dissatisfaction he experiences regarding his position in society and the more insufficient he considers his recognition by others. Conversely, an understated drawing indicates indecision, disinterest in one’s
Figure head
Fantastic animals whose heads are turned to the right indicate a stable tendency towards activity and the effectiveness of their authors. Such children, as a rule, realize their plans in practice. A head turned to the left indicates the opposite: such children are prone to reflection and thinking, and the transition to action can be inhibited by fears. The full-face position is interpreted as egocentrism. The presence or absence of sensory organs on the head indicates interest/disinterest in receiving or giving out one or another type of information. For example, a slightly open mouth with a tongue without detailed drawing of the lips indicates the child’s speech activity. The presence of teeth indicates aggression, often defensive. A shaded mouth indicates anxiety and timidity.
It is very important what kind of eyes the drawn animals have. A sharp drawing of the iris indicates the experience of fear. Eyelashes speak of hysterical and demonstrative behavior.
Large is a sign that the child most values \u200b\u200bthe rational principle in himself and those around him. Additional details, such as horns, claws, bristles, needles, are a sign of aggression, spontaneous or defensive-response.
Fantastic animals are decorated with feathers, manes, and fur, the authors of which tend to decorate themselves.
Supporting part of the figure
By the type of connection of the limbs with the body, one can judge the nature of the child’s control over his own reasoning, decisions, and conclusions. The connection can be precise, careful or careless, weak, completely absent. The uniformity and one-directionality of the shape of the limbs is standard, banal in judgments. The diversity of their form and position - independence, originality and even creativity, as well as dissent (for forms close to pathology).
Additional shape elements
Elements drawn above the figure can be functional in nature, such as wings or a shell. Or they can perform a decorative role (curls, curls). The first case indicates confidence, curiosity, passion, activity, in some cases associated with oppression of others. The second is about mannerism, the tendency to attract the attention of others.
Oddly enough, tails play a fairly important role in the drawing. They reflect the child’s attitude to his own actions and behavior if the tail is directed to the right, and to thoughts - if to the left. The positive or negative coloring of this relationship depends on the vertical direction of the tail: the more up, the better.
Total Energy
The total number of details depicted should be assessed: the higher the energy, the more of them there are in the picture and the more information they provide about what the fantastic animals depicted are. Habitats surrounding animal figures, extraneous elements - all this is worth paying attention to: color, intensity, mood.
The general nature of the lines should also be analyzed: weak lines indicate weakness and lack of initiative. Fat, with pressure - about anxiety. Analyze which elements are made in this manner, where there is duplication of lines, tearing, blackening, staining, deviation from direction - there are problems in these areas.
You see: a drawing can tell a lot about a little man. Ask your child to draw a fantastic animal, come up with a name and habitat for it. Pay attention to the presence of sharp corners at the contour of the figure (aggression or fear), the direction of protection (from the upper threat - teachers, parents, from the lower one - peers, their ridicule). This way you can better understand your child's problems and help him solve them.
The earth is a home not only for us humans, but also for thousands of other species of living beings - large and small, predatory and friendly, colorful and not so colorful. Be that as it may, each of these species is unique, and its preservation on our planet is very important for the balance of nature.
Unfortunately, humans are the main reason for the extinction of many animals. Okapi and quokka, loris and dugong, kakapo and palm thief - these and other species of animals are on the verge of extinction and may soon disappear forever. Let's be kinder to nature and those with whom we share our home!
Crested seals are found only in certain remote areas of the North Atlantic. These members of the seal family are known for their unique nasal cavity located on the top of their heads, which they deflate and inflate while swimming and inflate when they sense danger.
2. Tree kangaroos
These marsupials live in the rainforests of New Guinea and the Australian state of Queensland and, as the name suggests, are tree-dwelling members of the kangaroo family. Hunting and destruction of forests have reduced the number of these amazing creatures to 1%.
3. Bearded man
These beautiful birds from the hawk family live in the Himalayas and other mountainous regions of Europe, Asia and Africa. In Russia they are found in the Caucasus and occasionally in Altai and the Sayan Mountains. The bearded vulture is rare everywhere due to human persecution. These birds were almost completely wiped out in the last century and were thought to attack sheep and children. However, this is incorrect, since the bearded vulture does not hunt live prey, but feeds on carrion. The World Wildlife Fund currently estimates that there are only 10,000 bearded vultures left in the wild.
4. Axolotl
Also known as the Mexican salamander, these small amphibians are native to the lakes of Central America. In 2010, these strange creatures were on the verge of extinction, and according to 2013 research, scientists were unable to detect them in the wild.
The saiga lives in the Eurasian steppe, including Dzungaria and Mongolia. This incredible creature, seemingly alien, has a strange nose that is extremely flexible and helps it filter out the dust kicked up by the herd during migration. Its extermination by humans and loss of habitats has led to the fact that only a few thousand of them remain in nature.
6. European Proteus
Proteus lives in caves in central and southeastern Europe and is one of the few amphibians that is entirely aquatic. They eat, sleep and grow underwater. Proteas spend their entire lives in complete darkness. They have no eyes, but they have incredible hearing and sense of smell. Water pollution led to their extinction.
7. Golden snub-nosed monkeys
These colorful primates live primarily in Southern and Central China, at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters. Very rare, the species is endangered and is listed in the Red Book. They are endangered due to deforestation.
8. Gangetic gharial
The gharial is a unique animal among modern crocodiles. Although several species existed millions of years ago, today the Gangetic gharial is the last remaining member of this ancient genus and the only species of the gharial family. Their long, thin jaws make them flexible and agile fish hunters. Due to extermination by humans, their number has decreased to 2%. There are currently less than 235 individuals of this species, most of which are found in India.
Known for its impressive nose, this strange species of monkey is found only on the island of Borneo. The number of these monkeys has decreased by up to 50% over the past 40 years. Currently, deforestation is the main threat to proboscis monkeys. This species also suffers from hunting, although it is protected by law. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, proboscis whales are endangered.
10. Irrawaddy dolphins
Irrawaddy dolphins are a rare species found in the rivers and coastal regions of South and Southeast Asia. At the same time, in Cambodia and Laos they are considered sacred animals: fishermen are very fond of the Irrawaddy dolphin because it helps them drive fish into their nets. But recent studies have shown that there are fewer than a hundred Irrawaddy dolphins left. The reason for the extinction of the species was overfishing and the extremely low survival rate of the cubs. Old dolphins die, and there are no replacements for them, since only a few young animals reach adulthood.
The palm thief is the largest arthropod in the world, weighing up to 9 kg. As their name suggests, these crabs climb trees in search of coconuts so they can break them with their powerful claws. Due to the fact that these giants are considered a delicacy, they have become endangered and are protected in some regions.
12. Kakapo
The kakapo, or owl parrot, is found in New Zealand and is the only flightless parrot that also prefers a nocturnal lifestyle. European colonization of the island brought cats with it, making the kakapo easy prey. These birds are critically endangered, with only about 130 left.
13. Dugong
The dugong is one of four surviving species of sea cows found in the Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Africa. These majestic giants are hunted for their meat, which tastes like veal, as well as for their fat, skins and bones, which are used for ivory crafts. Due to predation and habitat degradation throughout much of its range, the dugong has become rare or extinct.
Currently, catching dugongs with nets is prohibited and they are caught with harpoons from boats. Mining is permitted as a traditional trade of indigenous peoples. The dugong is listed in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature with the status of “vulnerable species”.
14. Loris (Loris elusive)
Lorises of this species have been spotted only four times since 1937 and disappeared altogether between 1939 and 2002. It is assumed that they became completely extinct.
15. Ornamental tarantula
This type of spider can only be found in remote Indian forests. Collectors are asking $500 for these beautiful, colorful arthropods, and this has caused their numbers to decline significantly, leading to the threat of extinction.
16. Markhor (winter goat)
Markhor is the national symbol of Pakistan. Its high status and the beauty of its incredible horns have made the markhor an ideal target for hunters seeking to secure a rare trophy. Today there are only about 2,500 left in the wild.
17. Quokka (short-tailed kangaroo)
Quokkas are very friendly marsupials that live in a small corner of southwestern Australia. Their kindness partly explains why they are in danger: no matter how hard they try, they cannot make friends with dingoes and foxes.
This animal is also known as the zebra giraffe. Okapi rose to fame in the 1800s after they were discovered by British explorers.
19. Although okapi were discovered several centuries ago, few people still believe that this strange creature can be real. Today you can only find them in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where there are about 10-20 thousand left.
To pass this test and find out everything about yourself, you don’t have to add, subtract or painfully remember anything. All you have to do is take a pen and paper and a piece of pencil and start drawing.
Boleslav Guppka
It's been a while since you did any soul-searching with us. Therefore, we have found for you a psychological test that is simple to perform, but very effective in terms of the results obtained. Go through it - and such secrets of your “I” will be revealed to you that you will want to destroy all our servers out of harm’s way.
So, first of all, you have to run away and hit your head against the wall (preferably on the corner) as hard as you can. Now let's count the points. Stop! We're a little confused. This is a completely different test.
For today's test you will need a pencil and an A4 sheet of paper.
Got it?
Now draw an animal that definitely does not exist anywhere in the world, even in Australia and Pripyat.
The main condition: avoid ready-made templates, your animal must be absolutely unprecedented. You cannot draw either incredible characters already invented by someone else (Cheburashka), or those creatures that you have loved to draw since school (the five-armed sparrow). Draw an animal that is completely new to our world.
And don’t forget to call her by the same new name for this dimension.
Draw in silence, without witnesses.
Draw! What are you waiting for? For the purity of the experiment, you should not know any more details about this test. To make it easier for you to stop reading and start drawing, we'll fill the next couple of lines with some nonsense. Pew-pew-pew! Smoke-smoke! Woo-woo! Zhzhzhzhzhzh. Bloop-blup-blup! Let's draw already! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Plop plop plop!
Projection spotlight
It's time to explain what you just did.
The psychodiagnostic test “Drawing of a non-existent animal” belongs to a very large group of projective techniques (“Rorschach Blots”, for example, from the same opera). Perhaps you will feel some pride if you find out that the author of the “animal” test was not some Viennese psychoanalyst, but psychologist Maja Dukarevich, who developed this technique in the last century in the wilds of the Institute of Forensic Psychiatry. Serbian.
“The projective technique assumes that the features of your personality are projected onto everything you do, say or, as in this case, draw,” explains consulting psychologist, self-attitude specialist, candidate of psychological sciences Tatyana Sviridova.
When you draw without relying on ready-made templates (that’s what you did, right?), your personal characteristics begin to crawl out of you onto the paper and leave traces in every squiggle.
The brain follows the path of least resistance, and it is easiest for it to project itself onto the sheet.
This is (very, very briefly) the theory.
Now, when we begin to analyze the drawing point by point, looking for your conscious and unconscious ideas about yourself in it, you will either agree (“Yes, that’s exactly who I am!”), or go into deep unconsciousness (“Bullshit!”). Both are indicators that the test is working. In the second case, rejection is the result of the work of defense mechanisms, since, while drawing, you tried to hide a lot from yourself. (Alas, nothing can be done: you are just a platypus raised by a human family.) This, of course, does not mean the infallibility of the technique. “Many factors can affect the result, from fatigue to the length and sharpness of the pencil.” Be that as it may, possible deviations are not critical and, in general, the test gives a fairly accurate indication of your personal characteristics.
Let's get started!
Position of the picture on the page
In an ideal world, an ideal person who accepts himself for who he is would draw his unknown animal in the center along the middle line of the sheet.
Congratulate yourself if you are just such an ideal individual.
“The closer the animal is to the top edge, the higher your self-esteem,” our consultant is quick to please you. Perhaps you really are that good, but it also shows dissatisfaction with your current situation. In addition, you lack the recognition of others, and, having climbed higher, you have betrayed your desire to please everyone (for this, you strive with all your might to meet the norms accepted in your circle).
If your drawing is located at the bottom, you are not too confident and indecisive. It looks like you've already accepted your fate. However, perhaps it’s all about ordinary fatigue or the handcuffs with which you are fastened to the radiator in this dark basement.
Having dealt with the top and bottom, let's move on to other coordinates. According to Carl Jung and the collective unconscious:
the left side of the sheet means the past; right - future; and the middle is the present.
Left? You are prone to introspection and reflection. You tend to replay an old conversation in your head for a long time and come up with new witty remarks that you didn’t think of right away (“How come I didn’t think of telling the hooligans that they shouldn’t hit me?!”). You are a man not of action, but of intention.
Is your amoeba's head pointing to the right? Good sign! You not only plan something, but you always begin to implement your plan.
The animal that you depicted full-face, not taking its eyes off you, speaks of egocentrism. This can also be interpreted in such a way that you are a contact person who easily makes acquaintances.
“You should also pay attention to which direction the entire figure is more shifted,” says Tatyana.
In a picture of a cheerful, healthy, successful person (such people usually live in bank advertisements), the animal should be evenly located in all three times and directed from the past to the future.
If the pattern is pressed to the left side- perhaps this is due to a negative experience gained in childhood that still comes back to haunt you (your parents’ divorce or the meatball that your singing teacher threw at your collar in the second grade). Or maybe recent events have again reminded you of an old experience and moved the beast to the left.
A strong move to the right can be interpreted as a defensive reaction. You are running from the present (or the same past) to the future. You live in hope for tomorrow. However, if tomorrow is Saturday, you can understand.
General impression
Non-existent animals, like those existing on the Animal Planet channel, are divided into those who:
threatens others(for example, something toothy); who everyone threatens(something hare-like); who hasn't decided yet(saber-toothed hippopotamus).
Whoever you choose as your totem is a reflection of how you see yourself in this world. Are you a bug or an elephant - draw your own conclusion.
If your specimen wears human clothing or is too anthropomorphic(at the same time, she doesn’t have to resemble a humanoid, just being upright is enough), then you, baby, are emotionally immature and infantile.
Our expert is almost one hundred percent sure that you, being a normal person, cannot draw the genitals of your beast(“This is typical only for young children who are not yet sufficiently aware of the norms”). Otherwise, you are not completely healthy, your control functions are weakened. Even the banal udder (the image of a woman’s breast) on your owl reveals your unhealthy fixation on sex.
Dimensions and proportions
Medium size drawing, looking harmonious on the page (it may be clumsy, but organically inscribed on the sheet), indicates a positive attitude towards the world and oneself.
Too big animal- narcissism. Alternatively, the hefty creature may appear as a personal defense mechanism. “Very large animals are most often drawn by preschoolers. Children invest their high self-esteem in drawings of huge animals,” explains Tatyana. Your gigantomania may also be caused by a reaction to recent stress.
Little critter at the bottom of the page- a sign of mental problems. This is unlikely to apply to you, but keep in mind: nanoanimals are usually drawn by schizophrenics and other people with an interesting brain structure. So that tiny winged booger* that Carlson once drew, alas, makes one look at his actions in a new light.
* Note Phacochoerus "a Funtik: « A Very Lonely Rooster,” watercolor, 1955. Exhibited at the Stockholm Museum of Modern Art »
“In addition, mentally ill people tend to be sketchy and sophisticated in their interpretation of drawings,” added our consultant. To our question about how a drawing can be schematic and sophisticated at the same time, Tatyana gave an example: “A man draws a stick with legs and says that this is Emperor Paul.” Hm, but the stick with legs really looks like Pavel!
Quills, horns, shell - in general, everything that serves as protection for the animal can be replaced in the drawing simply by a careful outline drawn several times.
Therefore, immediately note for yourself: even if your creation at first glance is defenseless in front of the world, this is not at all true if some lines and protrusions are thicker than others.
The most important thing is which side of your animal the armor is on.
If the shell covers the animal from above, you protect yourself with it from those in relation to whom you are in a subordinate position. This could be management, government agencies, or just parents.
If the animal's bottom is closed, you are afraid of those whom you consider your equal, or those who are even weaker than you. That is, you fear for your authority.
Armor on the sides shows your readiness for self-defense in any life situation. “At the same time,” Tatyana emphasizes, “drawing the lines on the right indicates that you value your taste, preferences and beliefs very much and are ready to fight for them.” (By the way, although we disagree with your beliefs, we are ready to sign somewhere in a collective letter for your right to express them.)
If any of the details stand out due to careful drawing or stronger pencil pressure (lines are noticeable on the back of the sheet), this signals your alarm.
Unfortunately, you can only give an explanation for why you drew something more thoroughly than anything else.
There can be any number of interpretations.
For example, in an animal, anxiety is localized in the legs. If you rely on the interpretation of the images of the collective unconscious, it turns out that you are not confident in yourself. But maybe you just walked a lot today. So we leave you alone to struggle with the interpretation of the riddle of why you tore through the paper while drawing a hump for a marsupial partridge.
Feet are another mirror of the soul. Drawn legs show self-confidence and thoughtful decisions. If the animal has no legs at all or they are very frail, this emphasizes the impulsiveness of the character of the artist and his frivolity. (NB! The powerful pedestal painted under the seemingly weak legs plays the role of the missing strong legs. After all, it is this pedestal that serves as a support for the figure.)
It is also important how the legs are connected to the body. As is this connection, so is your control over words and decisions. The legs are poorly or not at all attached to the body - you are not very careful about the accuracy of your words, you do not attach much importance to your own speeches. The legs are well attached to the body - your judgments are balanced and, at least for you, convincing.
Now study the shape of your legs. If both legs are the same (exactly repeated lines, size, bend), you are a conformist, and your creative solutions do not sparkle with novelty and invention. But if the lower limbs of your animal are different (one leg is raised for a kick, and your other animal is scratching the third), you are our person. You are independent in your judgments and generally have a creative nature. Hand, comrade!
By the way, if we are talking about creativity: people with clichéd thinking use ready-made templates (fish, pig, bird). A cow with wings is not original, it is just a formal connection of two blanks - a cow and a bird. And in general, this is not a non-existent animal, but an ordinary Skliss!
The more elements and the more unexpected their combinations, the higher your creative potential and vital energy in general.
If you drew a headless pendelpop, skip this step. But if your creation has any kind of face, you will have to analyze it.
Big head shows that the artist attaches special importance to erudition and, in general, to the rational principle both in himself and in those around him.
Prominent ears- a sign that it is important for you to know how others treat you. Plus, this is an indicator of your interest in the world, in the information that you draw from it.
Mouth. Open, and with a tongue, it screams about your talkativeness. The drawn lips convey sensuality (sorry if this sounds like a quote from an astrology manual). A toothy mouth is drawn by people prone to verbal aggression. Moreover, this aggression is often defensive in nature (you snap, scold everyone and everything). If the mouth in the picture is open, but neither the tongue, nor the teeth, nor the tari bird is visible there, there is an opinion that you are suspicious and always afraid of something.
Although the nose is a phallic symbol, in drawings of men it does not carry much additional information. But if you analyze a drawing of a girl in which the animal has a particularly long or overly drawn snout, feel free to assume that she is not sexually satisfied.
Eyes. An emphasis on the pupil (for example, strong shading) indicates that you are now in anxiety. You're clearly afraid of something. Did you draw eyelashes? Oh no no no! You attach too much importance to your appearance. It is generally not appropriate for men to draw eyelashes.
In the drawings made by girls, eyelashes in many cases signify a hysterical and demonstrative manner of behavior.
“This is the manipulation of other people’s feelings for one’s own purposes,” Ms. Sviridova translates the dark term into understandable language. Don't be so quick to gloat. Hysterical-demonstrative behavior is also found in men. We hope this is not your case, but if... In short, here's a gun - you know what to do with it. (A shot muffled by the door is heard, and then the sound of a falling body.)
Well, we've reached the top. Hair (mane, dreadlocks, bald patches) most often simply corresponds to the gender of the person drawing. Although in some cases, a distinctive hairstyle may indicate sexual orientation. Horns and other piercing growths indicate aggression. But whether it serves as protection from others or to attack them, you can say more precisely yourself. A harmless feather or crest is interpreted as a desire to stand out.
Any non-functional, but purely decorative details that go beyond the boundaries of the drawn figure - such as lush feathers, tassels on tails and curls - indicate some unnatural behavior and a desire to attract attention.
We wouldn't be surprised if your car, tattooed on the back, has an airbrushed drawing of a tiger that was swallowed by a dragon.
The presence of seemingly extra, but still practical limbs(tentacles, spare legs, wings, proboscis) - an indicator that you want to cover (and maybe cover) many areas of activity at once. All these shoots are your many hobbies or simply your multi-tasking at work. Or it means the same thing, but with a minus sign: you often meddle in your own affairs, disturbing others with your know-it-all attitude.
The tail is what trails behind you. Your deeds, your intentions, your words. Here again the timeline will come in handy (if you go to the left, you will go back in time, etc.). Follow where the tail points. To the right - you have some important plans for the future, to the left - you are still remembering and analyzing past actions. To figure out whether your future or past deeds cause positive or negative feelings, pay attention to whether your tail is pointing up or down. The tail sticks out - you are either proud of something you have done, or you are looking forward to future victories. A fallen tail means fear of the future and regret about the past.
Among other things, the tail, who would doubt it, is a phallic symbol.
Therefore, the direction (up and down) may simply be a momentary indicator of your potency. Nothing, nothing, this happens to every man.
In rare cases, an inquisitive eye will discover inanimate parts in the body of an animal(wheels, batteries, propellers, USB inputs). Such additions appear either from a great mind (the draftsman uses all his imagination, trying to invent a non-existent animal), or, conversely, from a damaged mind - in patients with schizophrenia.
Those details that your animal does not have are also important.
No legs - you are not confident in yourself (see the meaning of the lower extremities). There are no hands or tentacles - you do not influence the world, but prefer to passively wait for something to happen.
Name
If you carefully read the task and gave your non-existent animal an unprecedented name, and did not just call it, as usual, Vitaly Sergeevich, you will probably find among these options a name somewhat similar to yours.
A rational combination of two or more semantic parts: elephant, creeping horse, dog eater. Shows practicality, rational thinking, strict adherence to the assigned task, and the desire to comply with norms.
Pseudo-scientific name: Latinomenius, Eastern European burdock goat eater. It shows that you are proud of your erudition and erudition. And in general, you don’t consider yourself a fool.
A meaningless set of sounds: vomit, hivoramira, vomit. Characteristic of a frivolous person who does not think about the consequences of his actions. In addition, such a kulyuvlya may emphasize that for the person who came up with this name, the aesthetic element is more important than the rational one.
Funny name: chuchuchka, popencia. An indicator of your ironic and condescending attitude towards the pitiful people around you.
Repetitive sounds: flu-flu, viz-viz, zhum-zhum. Infantility. Sorry, but we didn't come up with this.
Title too long: zelofukiropoestoral, colibarnofurucase. Typical for someone who likes to fantasize and have their head in the clouds.
Finishing touch
Now that you have found out all the ins and outs about yourself and are sitting over a drawing dripping with tears, try to take it out on your friends. Of course, practice is necessary to improve your skill.
