I wanted to try something new. I did, not sure I like it. If you can think of a way to improve it, let me know, but I will have to redraw it completely. P.S... I was going for the dark look, as I wanted it to have a night-time feel. The mouses name is Shrooms, but the picture's focus was originally intended to be the mushrooms in the background. When I did well on the mouse, I changed the focus of the pic. So I took another look at the image. I am going to redraw it, but on a larger format. I think the dark background behind the grass takes away from the feel. It will be the same basic pic, but I am going to have to change it a lot. FYI: This is just a stress relief sketch. It turned out ok, which is why I posted it. I hadn't planned on it looking well at all, it just did.

This is very good. I know that you were going for night but i still think that its a little dark. You might want to darken the line of the mushroom in the back. Other than that this is a very good image!

I love this one...the mouse seems so real and the environment is such a nice peaceful, whimsical place.

I suppose it could look more "deep" if you use soft pencil - black and white contrast could help you.. But in general I like it :)

This is a real good drawing, Rachel, love the mouse. Did you do it in pencil and smudging or is it charcoal? I do drawings also, love to work in charcoal & pastels....Well done.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I really do appreciate the tips too. I am already planning on redoing it. It will be better.

You really accomplished your goal with the mouse. It's really rendered well. I rather wish there were bit more contrast in the image, but the image as a whole is excellent.

I did the picture purely in mechanical pencil. I smudged it with my fingers, which is why my prints are in the corners. I also used cotton swabs and cotton balls to help clean up some excessively smudged areas - but an eraser was of little help to me in this instance.
