          Calling this one done! I'm not sure if I am completely satisfied with the color on the squirrel's face yet - I might go back in in a day or two and give it another try if it's still bothering me.

            The chalk on the tree and the tree's trunk are perfect! I just love everything about this.

              @StudioLooong hey this looks great! The concept is much clearer than the initial version. Also love the expressions! I do have 2 suggestions which you can try:

              1. As suggested by coreyartus earlier, try desaturating the foreground elements (the squirrel and the bush), maybe to a similar shade.
              2. I understand youโ€™ve repositioned the squirrel to the bottom left corner to get the perspective, but the crop looks a little tight. Maybe if you have time you can draw the full squirrel, and show that itโ€™s sitting on a tree branch. So it,l be a close up of the tree bark and branch which will be bordering the left side. Makes sense? ๐Ÿ˜…

                I couldn't leave it alone - I went back in and made the squirrel a bit smaller and mocked in some text so that it can show as a two page spread.
