This is a simple watercolor drawing of a rat. It’s standing on its hind legs, front paws resting on the ground, tail curled up behind it. The fur looks soft and textured, with tiny strokes giving it depth. The artist paid close attention to the rat’s whiskers and the way its body curves. The tail is striped, and the eyes are small but sharp. Next, look up stippling to see how this texture was made.
