Description
A cute little rat for today!! They live alongside us, as pets or running wild in our cities, they look sweet and funny and they are highly intelligent... I know a lot of people don't like rats, but I think they're beautiful, clever and, besides, in the cities, they feed on the food we throw away... After watching, one evening, in a city I lived in a few years ago, a group of 3 rats emptying carefully a box of French fries that had been thrown away carelessly on stones next to the lake, then proceeding to shred the cardboard box to take it underground (nest material?), I've started to think they are also useful, because they help cleaning some of the stuff we don't want to see... I mean, people who clean the streets cannot find everything, every time someone is careless and/or stupid...
So, yes, well, you got it, I like rats
I hope you will like this one on paper, too! I had lots of fun drawing it and trying to make it look lively... and my inks were incredibly fun to work with on this one... oh and, by the way, yes, I did the fur strand-by-strand with the XS and S pens

Made with:
- Faber Castell Pitt markers (Black: XS, S, F)
- Sakura Gelly Roll Pen 05 white
- L. Cornelissen & Son Iron Oak Gall and Walnut Inks
- on Papier & Kunst sketchbook, A5, 130mg paper
