Description
So last night I drank a bit too much coffee and couldn't get to sleep. Before that, we had taken a long, very rainy, walk in the woods. The place we went to had tons of moss and beard lichen dripping off everything, and the whole time I was thinking about moss creatures. So this is what I came up with in my lack of sleep. Maybe sometime I can colour him I think I will draw him more so I can practice my moss and bark

Usnea is the family of lichens which are often called 'Old man's Beard' etc.

About 3 hours, staedtler pencils, staedtler outlining pens, ballpoint pen to shade, and a little touch up in Photoshop of green and highlights.
