Two Simple Rephrasings to Ask an Artist to Move a Koala Up and Perch It on a Eucalyptus Branch — Age 13

Two easy, friendly ways a 13-year-old can ask an artist or designer to raise a koala slightly and make it clearly sit on a eucalyptus branch holding a leaf in its paw.

Here are two clear ways you can ask for that change:

  1. Could you raise the koala a little so it isn't sitting so close to the ground, and place it clearly on a eucalyptus branch holding a leaf in its paw?
  2. Please move the koala up slightly and show it perched on a eucalyptus branch, with one paw holding the leaves so it looks like it’s sitting on the branch.

Quick tips for asking an artist (step-by-step):

  1. Point out what's wrong: "The koala is too close to the ground."
  2. Ask for the move: "Raise it up a little" or give a small amount like "move up slightly" so they know it’s a small change.
  3. Describe the pose: "Make it clearly sitting on a eucalyptus branch and holding the leaves in its paw."
  4. Optional details: mention natural posture and shadow so it looks real (for example: "keep its feet wrapped around the branch and add a shadow under the branch").
