Thank you Alan, is that Dawns monthly newsletter? Gillian thank you for your comments this is where I am at at the moment, not much more to do, going to keep the background to graphite and uni pen, I want the squirrel to be my main colour. The mount will be 9 x 7 and the image size 7 x 5

Yes it is indeed Linda, this, or something similar would I’m sure make an interesting WIP feature.

I like using inktense pencils for small animal pictures, thought I would post this as a WIP. Derwent inktense pencil on 300grm Hahnemuhle watercolour paper.

Don't know how these multiple images have happened but I can't delete them!! However here's my update, all finished, left the background tree without colour just using graphite pencil no9 and uni pen, added a small amount of colour to the ivy as a contrast to the red squirrel. Mounted in cream 9 x 7
