Stump Hogs and Branchites

Stump Hogs tend to be in good spirits when they are buried in the wet earth with their heads exposed. This morning, I had time for three sketches of this one as it rested near a bush full of bright red berries.

Branchites still give me the willies. I think it's their random, beady little eyes that get to me, and how they float silently through the park. Sometimes, they seem to appear out of nowhere, or form clusters that resemble the bare tree canopies of winter.
