INKtober Week #2
My second INKtober project came out a bit darker than intended. It's a grey squirrel running through a forest in early spring, before the leaves have appeared on the trees. There's a few mistakes that I had to fix, which added to the time it took to do. I've drawn squirrels in this same common pose before, but it's interesting to put different elements in the background and change the seasons. Squirrels are one of my favorite animals, so it's always a treat to draw them. As before, this was done with Micron pens and art markers on 5"x7" Bristol Board.

I like the squirrels too. I'm not so sure this is as dark as you think - it looks perfect for the season as it is so often overcast with a soft grey light. I give it 2 thumbs up!
Thank you, the overcast light is what I was going for. I did do some small "repairs" a day or so later & liked it better after that, though I don't know if it really looks much different. lol
