Elephant In A Cloud
It’s sort of like drawing on clouds. You see an elephant in a cloud, and you can actually sit down and make a sketch of it, and you’ve got an elephant, and maybe you didn’t know how to draw an elephant quite right, but somehow, the cloud helped you. In a way, when you sketch things out, the sketch itself— by its freeness— will give you hints as to what to do.
