Yes, this is the very nut that Scrat, one of the finest heroes of our time, has been chasing ever since we first met him in the Ice Age. These nuts need 6-24 months to mature, and they’re usually pretty tiny (1-6 cm long and 1-4 cm broad).

Ok, now let’s see which animals/birds use them in their everyday diet. Pigeons, ducks, squirrels, mice, and many other rodents can’t imagine their lives without acorns. That’s not the whole list! Pigs, deer, and ever the mighty bears also love these nuts. At the same time, the acorns are quite toxic, and cattle won’t be able to handle them if they consume too much.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
