Yet another excerpt from "Trail Trouble", a comic commission for backlash, this time at the full color stage representative of the comic at it's completion. This panel is from page 4 of the seven, and illustrates the most time-consuming portion of the project--drawing, or rather, coloring the expanse of muddy ground that is the 'trouble' part of the title :)

IMO, you would need a visible lower jaw in order to communicate Kira's feelings about her predicament at this point. I could see imagine you might not at the beginning when she hasn't realized she's gotten into trouble, and at the end when her jaw would be open. But at this point of apprehension, her troubled expression seems appropriate. I think it would be difficult to transition across this frame using only her eyes, so seeing more of a facial expression is a plus.
What is that she has in her right hand? Looks like a bicycle chain held in a kleenix tissue. Not exactly the sort of gear I'd choose for a walk in a muddy place... although... I suppose you could whip the chain around a tree branch to haul yourself out. But why the fastidiousness of a kleenix? Afraid of oil on her hands? Clearly, I haven't got a clue.
You guessed correctly. It broke while she was riding, and she's seeking a repair shop she believes is just outside the park once she's done with this 'obstacle'.
The full comic will be forthcoming in the near future. Coloring mud turns out to be rather slow work :)

Yeah...
What you might to is approach it impressionistically. Fill the background, and then start airbrushing minor undulations and hillocks. Move to actual features like foot prints. And then add a few hundred random small spots. Don't put any real detail into any but a small number of features that will stand out and create the impression of what you want, and let the rest remain fuzzy.
