You could give him the appearance of toes with black thread stitching through.

What immediately striked me about this one is how prominent those ''marking''-, ''line-'' or ''wrinkle''-thingies above the eyes are. Typically mustelid, and it makes this sculpture extra anatomy-aware. I don't know what to call those, but they tend to enlarge the strict and alert look. I like emphasizing on them when doing expressions- it's very effective.

Fellow needle felter here!

Your weasel is what inspired me to try my own! I cant get over how amazing yours is, its perfect! I wanted to do the toes like yours but I could not figure it out... So mine is stuck with nub feet lol

I love the winter phase ermine best, and I think I made that "line" above the eye a bit too dark, but it was felted too deep into the wool for me to fix it.

I still think it's awesome that you were aware of those ''lines''-they just add so much, and it's not a common detail in mustelid-related art.
Hope you'll understand how to do realism better with time and practice. I'm currently doing a stoat for another art trade, and I'm making a documentation of the process. The best way I can explain it is on the practical aspect- realism comes with more practice, understanding and study. One way to do paws is to felt four slightly broad (and relatively flat) ''slippers'' for feet, and cut with a pair of scissors to make the toes. You'll perhaps have to stab them a little afterwards to trim them. I use a coloured pencil to line between the toes- it adds colour and helps making them more prominent. Mustelids have 5 digits on each paw.

Keep up the work- and thank you for the praise!
