Colored pencils are highly recommended for capturing the intricate fur textures and fine details of the squirrel's face and claws. Gel pens can add subtle highlights to the eyes or whiskers. Soft pastels could be used for the blurred background to create a smooth, diffused effect.
Start by outlining all areas carefully before filling them in to maintain crisp lines. Use a light hand when coloring the fur, building up intensity gradually. Focus on one section at a time, such as the tail or body, to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Choose a simple palette of 3-4 complementary shades for a harmonious look.
Utilize layering with multiple shades of browns and grays to create realistic depth in the fur. Apply short, directional strokes to mimic the texture of the tail and body. Use a fine-tipped tool for individual whiskers and claw details. Experiment with subtle blending on the background for a soft, out-of-focus effect.
