I figured if I could manage a squirrel, I could probably do a chipmunk. There are lots of imperfections, but I’m not trying for perfection. If I do that, I’ll never be happy with anything. So this little guy is a bit hump-backed. Regardless, he is a chipmunk. No doubt about it. He doesn’t look like either Chip or Dale, though he might resemble them more when I begin trying to change him into a character.

This time, I tried to tread more lightly with color. I’ve been trying to make pencil look like paint. If that’s the look I want, I probably should wrap my head around actually painting and stop messing around with pencils.
So, this looks more like a pencil sketch. Also, this particular set of pencils, called “Van Gogh,” has a perfect set of colors for the furry folks. Lots of shades of brown, green. gray, and ochre with a few yellows, reds, and blues. I don’t think Van Gogh’s colors look anything like these, but they are perfect for me and are oil, not wax.

I tried to make it look like he’s standing on “Sketchbook.” And he is cute. He gets cuter if you have a snack.

Awww. I found my critter under the house. It’s a woodchuck that I named Woodrow. He’s became quite the friend! He lives now in a perfect place in my little bluff.

According the the artists at Disney, the first thing people look at in a picture are eyes and feet. And those are the two things I’m working on.

We seem to have more of them every day. Almost any time I look out into the back, I see them scurrying across the yard, up and down the stairs to the feeders.
