World's Ugliest Amphibian Critter

I'm still traipsing about Utah looking for new and interesting critters to capture in my sketchbook. My early work featured a lot of number themed critters and I thought it would be fun to capture some alphabet themed critters. But I haven't found any yet. So here's an ugly number dude from my old sketchbook. Let's start with number one and work our way up again. Don't forget to send me your critters and be sure to leave comments. Do you think this guy is as ugly as I do?

 

Ten Times the Coloring Fun

While I was walking around the woods sketching critters oh so long ago I came across another one of those worms. This time he was standing next to a friend and they vaguely reminded me of something. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, so I sketched them while I waited for the answer to come to me. It never did. I wonder how they eat without fingers or toes?

 

Color some fur onto this Slinky Slith

I didn't draw too much detail on this critter because he creeped me out! Look at the way his eyes stare! I had the willies up and down my spine for hours. Ooooh! I got 'em again.

 

 

Here's a Hairy Hachie Hoping for some Hue

I called this guy a Hachie but I can't remember why. He hops about the forest. It is funny to watch. But what is really funny is watching him swim. He likes to do the backstroke while swimming in tight little figure eights. I tried talking him into swimming a figure nine, but he wasn't interested.

 

 

Terrifically Ticklish Toecat

I almost sat on this Toecat. Good thing I noticed him or I would have been in for a sore surprise. He looked exactly like the number Seven so I thought I'd add him to my collection of critters. No, I didn't take him home! I sketched him. I wouldn't have the foggiest idea what to feed him, and he'd ruin my water bed...
