Today I was thinking about this prompt and decided it could be fun to try to draw the squirrel who visits our garden, climbs up the bird feeder pole and stretches across to get food from the feeders. But then as I was sitting in our living on the first floor, he suddenly appeared on the windowsill next to me. He had a precarious climb up the railings, though I’m not sure what he was trying to achieve with this, and then climbed back down again! I managed to snap a couple of pictures of him on my phone without scaring him.
Sure enough he then joined his mate at the bird feeder and some more serious stretching occurred, but seeing as I couldn’t get any good photos of this I decided to draw him on the railings. Here he is

Thank you. I’m pleased with how he turned out given that with stretching he’s a bit of a funny shape! I’m learning that adding finer lines after thicker ones can add detail and texture without making things too heavy

You’ve captured him perfectly! I do wonder what he was doing clambering all over those bars though

Thank you. I have no idea, unless he was checking out the guinea pig food through the window!

I so love watching squirrels. I don’t even mind that they steal food from the bird feeders 🐦
