[wallpaper] Ringtail

While sketching a raccoon family, I personally became fascinated with the ringtail 😁

IIt is also called a ring-tailed cat, and as the name suggests, some people may seem to think it is a cat.  (They are translated as 'tiger-tailed cats' in Korea.) In my case, as I wrote in the drawing post, I thought of weasels and lemurs when I first saw them.

Their big eyes are so cute that I originally tried to draw them like this. 

When drawing elongated animals, we need to pay more attention to character placement 😁

I think this background color suits them well because they live in dry areas. I added some flowers to give it a brighter feel.

To emphasize the plumpness of the tail, I re-touched it several times with small lines. However, the tail should not take too much of the attention away from the face, so it must be done in moderation 😄 

In fact, in nature, their tail is probably the most noticeable feature. The tail's pattern is conspicuous and can serve to distract predators or confuse them by targeting them instead of the body. 

Do you feel the difference? The above is a color scheme that is probably closer to reality.  Below is what the finished picture looks like. From an artistic point of view, the face should be the most noticeable, so I made the tail less visible.

Thank you!
