My grid has been filled with birds and flowers for months... so here's a little furry friend to break up all the feathers and petals.

A digital pencil-style drawing of a red squirrel. He's orange with lighter orange patches and a purple tail and ear tufts. He's very fluffy and has curly white whiskers. He's sat in a pencil-style autumn forest, with little plant doodles in the grass in the foreground, and autumnal trees in the background. (Character is Nate - an OC who belongs to natedraws on Art Fight)

An attack for @natedraws.bsky.social of Nate, an adorable fluffy and round red squirrel! 🧡❤️💜

I had a LOT of fun with the textures and background for this one!

Sharing a sneak peek on the cutest board book I had a lot of fun illustrating! It has all my favourite things, animals, fairies, magic and lots of cool pop ups and flaps. Pure joy 🦄

A digital illustration of a red squirrel sitting happily on a branch inside a Christmas tree. She's wearing a red and white striped scarf and holding a mug of a hot drink. Two presents with bows sit to her right - one red and one green. Red, yellow, and green Christmas fairy lights hang above, illuminating the scene.

Merry Christmas everyone!! Here's a festive red squirrel in a Christmas tree! 🎄🎁😊

(...It could be YOUR tree, actually - maybe you should check)

A squirrel running through the sky with a long tail, evoking long dragons e.g. the dragons from Breath of the Wild

The head and legs

The tail part 1

The tail part 2

Saw a squirrel running when I was in Central Park last year and got inspired. Why yes I had just recently beaten Tears of the Kingdom.

Tattoo of an illustrative style chunky red squirrel holding an acorn

Squirrel tattoo! Based on a photo I took of a very roumd nursing grey squirrel which I edited as my client wanted a red squirrel. I also actually slimmed her down a little bit 😅
