Autumn's Delight: A Squirrel's Persimmon Feast

Fun Fact

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Furry Friends - Use short, feathery strokes in shades of brown, gray, and reddish-brown to create the squirrel's soft fur texture. Add lighter colors on its belly and darker shades for depth.
2. 2🖍️ Luscious Persimmon - Color the persimmon a vibrant orange or reddish-orange, using gentle blending to show its smooth skin. Don't forget a small hint of green or brown for its cap.
3. 3✨ Sun-Dappled Scene - Imagine where the sunlight hits! Use brighter, warmer colors for areas touched by sun, like the top of the stump or the squirrel's back, and softer, cooler tones for shaded parts.
4. 4🌈 Textured Tree Stump - For the tree stump, use various browns, grays, and even hints of green for moss. Vary your pressure to create the rough, weathered texture of the wood.
