Looking pretty good! I would say to watch out for outlines, such as around the squirrel's back and the final curl of the tail. These need to be distinguished with cuts of "hair" instead of one continuous line, or on the tree trunk, with bark. He is also a bit flat in terms of lighting, so he has less form than might be desired. Nice attempt for your third go at bulino. HTH!

very nice critter. i think the scrolls are far too bold-- they take the eye away from the squirrel. other than that, real nice.

I agree. Animals especially, should have a soft 'furry' outline. When you use solid lines intead, it turns it into a cartoon figure.

Nice work Ray!

Not a bad attempt to be your third one Ray, but I must agree, no outline when doing fur
