I followed a cool tutorial

<center>Sometimes you just have those days when you feel like trying something new. Well, two days ago, I had one of those moments. I came across a YouTube tutorial that immediately caught my attention—a mouse in a striped T-shirt. Cute, simple, and not frustrating. Or so I thought. So, I saved it for later.

This morning, full of enthusiasm, I decided to grab my drawing supplies. They were upstairs. I headed to the stairs, arms loaded with sketchbooks, fineliners, markers, and a pencil clamped between my teeth (multitasking!). And then… halfway down, I realized that descending with my hands full might not be the smartest idea. But hey, one near-death experience later, I made it safely downstairs. Ready to start my masterpiece!

So, I got to work. First, the sketch—piece of cake (well, for me at least). Then the line art… and this is where the Lidl fineliners made their grand entrance. Six pens for €0.99? Bargain, I thought! Well, if you're using them to write your shopping list: perfect. But if you try to erase over them? Your paper turns into a crime scene. Seriously, it looked like my mouse had been through a tornado. I do not recommend! Nope.

But hey, I don’t give up that easily. Improvise, adapt, overcome! I kept going and colored in the mouse with markers from Action. Decent enough, but let’s be honest: if you’ve ever worked with alcohol markers, you know the difference. Still, my mouse got its cute red-and-green striped shirt, and I have to admit… he looks pretty cozy!

And now comes the fun part: I challenge you to draw this mouse too! The tutorial is fun, simple, and the end result doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s all about enjoying the process (and maybe the challenge of making it downstairs in one piece).

I’ll drop the tutorial in the comments below so you can give it a try. It’s from Paperfuel.

Be sure to share your creation, because there are no harsh judges here—just a bunch of creative people who get that art should be fun!
