So  AnukaCat posted this cute picture, 'I'm Prepared!', showing a coati with a sock on the snout: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36279302/ ... and it's a nice little scene. I wanted to try the same. Since I'm a more realistic coati, apart from being twice as old as any real coati could be and somehow playing pinball, I worked from a real photograph that was delightful and looking in about the right direction. That picture's https://brevardzoo.org/animals/rain.....ed-coatimundi/ ... the third in their archive there. Look at the fourth, by the way, since it's got a great yawn from that coati.

Anyway, so what I've learned from this is that my practice copying Walt Kelly strips has not helped me get the hang of sketching from a photograph. Part of this is the medium: I do less bad renditions using a pencil and paper. But another part of it is that converting a real-life animal to a caricature requires adaptation and I didn't do that here.
