How much detail?

Acorn caps, bark channels and small paw details surround two broad animal shapes. About the labels.

Try this palette: Fern and bark

Give the squirrels different browns, then use the same leaf green around both branches.

A small coloring tip

Sharpened pencils reach the acorn caps and bark channels; use lighter strokes along the broad tails.

Leave a pale edge along each squirrel’s tail so it remains separate from the tree.
