Fig Feast Frenzy: A Squirrel's Harvest

Fun Fact

Squirrels are incredibly clever! They often bury their food, like nuts and figs, to save for later, but sometimes they forget where they hid them. This 'forgetfulness' actually helps new trees grow from the seeds left behind!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Squirrel's Fur - Use a blend of warm browns, grays, and a touch of cream. Apply short, feathery strokes to give the fur a soft, realistic texture, especially around its bushy tail.
2. 2🖍️ Textured Tree Bark - Experiment with different shades of brown and gray, using short, uneven lines and cross-hatching to create the rough, gnarled look of the fig tree's bark.
3. 3✨ Ripe Figs - Figs can be beautiful shades of purple, green, or brownish-red. Use layers of color to show their smooth, plump skin, and perhaps a lighter shade where light catches them.
4. 4🌈 Intricate Leaves - Use a variety of greens, from bright lime to deep forest, to make the fig leaves vibrant and dimensional. Pay attention to their unique lobed shapes and vein patterns.
