Squirrel Sketch 2

Here's another squirrel sketch in pen and ink. I drew this last week as part of a "dry run" for a holiday project. Last week, I used the Brushes app on my iPad to create a little animation of a squirrel writing a "Happy Holidays" message in the snow. (Brushes captures a stroke-by-stroke video as you draw.) But before I started the digital drawing, I practiced drawing squirrels in pen and ink so that I could draw a squirrel quickly (for the sake of the animation). I spent about an hour making quick sketches. I liked three of them enough to keep. This is the squirrel peaking out from behind the tree. You can find the video posted here on Dec. 23, or just follow this link: www.flickr.com/photos/randiart/23308239774
