Description Here's another sketch from my archive:
This wee critter is a native Australian Sugar Glider. Adorable little tike, ain't he? It's drawn from a photo I saw in wildlife magazine, so I can't credit the photographer. He was resting on top of a cabinet in my grandmother's house when I spotted him and thought I should scan and post him.
Pencil sketch - mainly 2B pacer pencil. I estimate 2-3 hours work.

"native snuggies??" I'm not sure what you mean. The little critter in this sketch is a type of native Australian possum called a Sugar Glider. They have a flap of skin between their front and back legs which open out to be a type of wing, which allows them to glide from different places. Like a flying squirrel.
And yes, all native possums have tails They are adorable
