Fur revisited ...still more work needed

I picked out this fox from my Johanna Basford book to color, and set out to go beyond just adding color to going for texture. Fur redux.

Again, it has all the signs of insufficient work on it, especially near the tip of the tail. More layers of color needed.

The nerd in me actually looked up photographs of red foxes online, and found out that the lower halves of their legs are actually black. I wonder why now I was striving for such accuracy when this particular fox has leaves unaccountably sticking to its body! Haha. See how the global community of pencil colorists have rendered this fox psychedelic here.

Fur aside, I was playing with colors here. I wanted to stick to an autumnal palette for the leaves, leaves past their prime.
