A Bite of Strawberry

I'm a guest designer at Sketch Saturday this month, and today's sketch just happens to be one of my favourites so it wasn't hard for me to enjoy this one.

I've used a cute little critter from A Day For Daisies, but I naively didn't fully consider that there's a whole lotta fur on this little guy!  I guess it allowed me some practice of colouring fur!

And I can never have too much practice!

Mind you, even the strawberry was a challenge and I can't blame that on fur (unless you're eating it with the clotted cream I bought at Christmas for the mince pies, and then promptly forgot about!)

Anyhoo, I hope you like him and please do pop over to Sketch Saturday to join in this week.



Here's the sketch I followed:

That squirrel is coloured to perfection Annette.... fur'n'all! As (I've got to say), is the strawberry.... even to the little shine at the top! Now I wonder who you had in mind when you were colouring that fur??

Love your paper choice too btw!

Big Hugs
