finally… FINISHED good god this took the longest time to draw
um a pine marten, with an 0.5 HB mechanical pencil. i nearly used 0.3 but i’m SOO GLAD I DIDN’T because the fur would have been impossible to do then
the tree was also one of the hardest things i’ve tried to draw… i’m not happy with it but i hope it looks at least sort of barky ppfffhfg
i’m going to try to sell this in a couple of exhibitions i might be doing soon? if i don’t sell it there thendfgdf would anyone want it for something like £30? i would really want to charge more but idk with no frame it’s not worth much more
i’ll go half on p&p, and whoever wants it can pay the other half?
i can also do commissions like this, with A3 ones like this one being around the same price, i suppose, but that’s negotiable depending on what the subject is etc
pleeeasedfgdg ; u ;(via spindlebug)

Mustela martes (now Martes martes), the Pine Marten
Martens, like all mustelids, are carnivorous predators, and in an attempt to reduce the threat of the invasive gray squirrel in the UK, the native pine marten (which had previously been extremely rare to the point of being assumed extinct in most areas) is being reintroduced.
Though the marten is not exactly picky about what squirrel it would choose to eat, both the gray squirrel and the marten spend much of their time on the ground, whereas the red squirrel is much more arboreal. This makes the grays far more likely than reds to come in contact with a hungry marten.
