Welcome back, artists! Today we start with a simple number 3 and turn it into a squirrel—then crank the creativity to 11 and transform it into a Mad Scientist Squirrel (goggles, lab coat, potions…the works!). Next we design the lackey and the muscle (meet Rocco), so your villain has a full squad.

Use pencil & paper or follow along on iPad Pro/Procreate. Don’t draw perfect—draw FUN!
