Squirrel

Last friday, I was alone and thought I'll try learning few basics in sketching. My reference was the squirrel picture my friend took a while ago. The exercise was to learn how to draw thin hairlines. I'm pretty much happy at the output on the right *smile*.

Materials I used are 2H and 6B pencils on a Acid Free Sketch book

Things I liked about this pic was the
1. eyes
2. hair lines of the tail and rear limbs

Things I think I need to improve are
1. proportion - look at the original, the head is not shaped like a traingle at all, as it should have been
2. the sketch must be a little brighter
3. Have more patience *nods myhead diligently*
