Well, they did lose–but to the Netherlands, my favorite! It helps to lose to a re-eally good team!

Thanks, Ted! I nearly redrew this drawing because I drew it a month or so ago, before I had decided to do the World Cup mammals, and it looked weird to me after I’ve been drawing every day since—I mean I might draw it differently if I drew it now. But I’m glad I didn’t since you like it so much!

Great job, both of you! Jennifer, this is one of your stronger drawings. The eye, especially, came out really well. You can feel the depth of the pupil within the eye, contrasting with the white reflections on the surface. I’m not sure how you did that, but it’s a drawing you can really dive right into! The fur on the face is also very sculptural.

And Coco, your little Chamois is just a sweetie! Another fine little mammal.
