Lemur on a Granite Outcrop

A ring-tailed lemur pauses on a granite outcrop, with its striped tail curling beside a sharp rock edge. Fur, facial markings, lichen and distant vegetation provide useful shifts around the animal.

Build the face, paws and tail rings first, then follow the outcrop contour. Granite pieces sort by cracks and lichen spots; keep the distant greenery for the final frame. Tail rings and granite cracks provide alternating dark and light marks across the outcrop. The bird’s flight feathers repeat a pattern that rewards careful orientation.
