A warmup I made this morning of my fursona. If anyone remembers the last drawing I made of them with the white fur, they have brown fur in this one because this is their summer coat! I know sables don’t have different colored coats for winter and summer like ermines do, but I just took some creative liberty and gave them a winter and summer coat anyway lol.

[ID: the first three images are zoom ins from the last image, described next: a digital drawing with various sketches of mustelid species. They were drawn with marker textures over a math grid. They're all next to their respective reference image, which is a little transparent. From lefto to right and top-down, a pine marten that looks like it's smiling with its mouth open; a stoat that is closing its eyes and looks disappointed, below, there's a note in Spanish that says "no puede ser" (translation: it cannot be); a sea otter in the water, lifting its front paws and looking up, looks like its cheering something or someone; a stoat in its winter coat, looking to the left with its eyes halfway closed; a giant river otter in the muddy water, giving a side eye; three river otters curled up together in the shape of a heart, and lastly, a tayra pup in a front view, the text besides it says "Tayra chiquito <3" (translation: little tayra"). End ID.]

More practice, this time some mustelids

A non-serious, but fun little elaboration on my previous headcanon about slugcats being primarily mustelids: slugcats with real mustelid patterns! Apparently people were doing the same thing a while ago using real cat patterns, so I wanted to try my own spin on it and see how it would look! Plus it was nice to practice more dynamic poses with these guys, especially quadruped ones.

Sorry I haven't posted as much as I meant to; this took a LOT longer than I expected. But I think the result is pretty cute, and I honestly enjoyed realizing the similar color patterns in all these animals!

Which one is your favorite? I think I like the black-footed ferret best!
