Hi Mike
I have done some more work on my squirrel and have attempted to incorporate all your suggestions. Would really appreciate further comments/suggestions.
Thanks
Jean

Re: Squirrel further work
This is much better! The tree is solid and round. The squirrel's bottom jaw is forward of the body and attracts attention to the core of your "story" - the nut feast 
His bright eye attracts attention too. The curve of his arm (sorry - my animals have arms and hands) leads my eye around to the nut. And removing white from the squirrel's body has tied everything together to present a lovely rounded, plump, and hairy form.

Thanks so much for that Mike. Hope you have a Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing your new video and trying some of your tutorials in 2020

Re: Squirrel further work
Thanks, Jean, and Happy New Year to you and yours.
2020 is going to be a busy year for me!
Right now I'm researching good voice-over mics, and (on paper) putting together the parts for a mega-number-crunching video computer. And I'm about to start writing the script for Video #23 - the last of the Basic Techniques series.

I've been out here lurking (LOL!), reading everyone's posts but haven't posted anything yet.
Anyway, I've have been following all your squirrel posts - from the initial one 'til now. I just wanted to say that when I opened this one, my immediate reaction was -- WOW, what a difference!
Your modifications have had a lovely impact on your drawing. It really "pops" now, and has a much improved sense of form. And adding the darker shades really helped.
Happy New Year!
