Description I've been working on this since some time in 2012 and just got around to finishing it. At first I was thinking of shading it, but then I decided that it was about time I started using color more! xD This is my first time coloring some of these characters, so hopefully those colors are considerably accurate.

I love the Squeak Squad so much, so I'm glad I had the opportunity to draw this. But I'll stop procrastinating and get back to my commissions!

Enjoy!^^

I must say, you've really outdone yourself here. The colour really caught my eye; it's incredible how much you've improved.

Oh, and that little squeaker holding the bomb looks quite adorable...

Ahh, you've done a absolutely wonderful job on this, dear~. Daroach looks amazing in your style, I must say~. Such a cutie~! And for being your first time coloring them, you aren't too far off on their colors! Save for one, but that's quite alright~! It is indeed your first time coloring them~. Fantastic job, dear!

I'm a bit curious... Did you use colored pencils to do the coloring? If so, then.. Well done! Absolutely fantastic job on it! I myself cannot get colored pencils to work right for me at all.. D8 But that's completely fine~. C8

Thanks, I'm glad you think I did well! I worked pretty hard! Hopefully, I'll be able to get the colors more accurate in future drawings.^^

And yes, I did use colored pencils! Thank you!

It most certainly does show, dear~. C8 I do have a few suggestions for coloring, but I do not know how easily it could be done via traditional means... I seldom ever do coloring traditionally because... Weeeeeelll... Yeah colored pencils don't like me... Aaaat all... Lol!

And you're quite welcome! Most certainly you do have some talent with them! Such lovely smooth coloring you've done with them~! C8

Ok then~! I'm more than glad to share then~! C8

Ok, the character who's color is most off that I noticed, would be Storo. But see, the shade you've chosen for him can still be used~. It would be useful as the shade for the inside of his ear~! Or for the shadowing on his normal fur. Here's his spritesheet from the game. [link] His fur is more along the light-blue spectrum, then the blue spectrum. This is all a simple fix though, so don't worry too much on it ok~? C8

Another little tip I have, is something that'll help the red of their clothes 'pop out' more, since red is a bit harder to make highlights and shades of. Looking at the sprites from the game will help again with this one, to get an idea on how the coloring is. What you might want to toy around and practice a bit with, would be using a more Scarlet (Orangish-red) color for where the light will be hitting. That way, it makes it so that the shading you do with the red will stand out more.

Anyways, these here are just light little suggestions~. You don't have to use them if you don't want to, and I do suggest that you take your time with practicing them if you do want to~. And I do hope it helps out some~! 8D

Oh, okay, I definitely see what you mean. I'll try to work on making Storo's fur colors lighter in the future. And using orange-red also sounds like a good idea; I'll try that out, too!^^

Thanks for the tips!

Yay~! I'm glad that you like my suggestions~. Just do your best and have fun, that's what matters~. Don't get mad if you make any mistakes, as little mistakes help us grow and get better~! 8D

You're quite welcome dear~. Always happy to help~!
