    another way to look at this is with this question. Is grey a light or dark color? depends on what it is next to. If against black it seems light. Against White it seems dark It's all an illusion

    Leland we are talking values here and contrast. To make something dark you use a combination of number of lines/dots and depth of said lines.

    Leland Do some more proper tree bark texture around the critter. It looks like he is wearing stripped pajamas pattern is way too even needs more irregularity and break it up a bit. Just step outside and look at a tree.
