SQUIRREL

This little dude was a hard nut to crack, do you see what I did there? … I’ll get me coat lol

I actually drew him twice. The reference image I was using was so out of focus it added another layer of challenge to the mix, and trying to render the tree was too much for me to handle, so I ended up erasing the tree and in the process messing up the background *doh* I decided to start again lol

He has an attitude about him I adore, which made me determined to get him finished, I especially like the look in his eyes, it’s as if he’s thinking, Oii … THIS IS MY NUT, BACK OFF BUDDY!

Side note … this is one of only three drawings I ever signed as Kevin before Transitioning, the others being one of Merlin for my Mum, and AMY THUNDERBOLT cosplaying BUBSY :)

THE IDEA THAT THERE ARE OBSTACLES WHICH CANT BE OVERCOME IS NOT PART OF SQUIRREL’S OUTLOOK ON LIFE, NOR IS GIVING UP
