best I can do on trackpad

might as well make the best of the thread.

Draw the mouse, its good reference and I doubt many of you have much practice with mice anatomy.

I'm on it senpai

Well, I had a rabbit in highschool and I heard they can die of fright.

While you are here, can you draw at all anon?

>>2968125
Ty, now I don't need to ask /an/.

Yep, the /ic/ tab is always open, which is why I accidentally posted here

>>2968056
christ, you must be hideous then

It's not so much dying of "fright", it's dying from stress. Granted, it could have been bitten by a venomous snake, escaped, and you just caught it when it left the hole. But yeah, they die of stress, pretty easily. My cat caught a really tiny one, and brought it home alive to play with it - it was about the size of a peanut. It got loose in the dining room, and I captured it with a plastic cup. It was cute, and i wanted to draw it, so I set up an old aquarium for it, with food, bedding, and water. 6 hours later, dead. It was eatlng and drinking 5 hours previously. Mice don't live long, anyway.

Imagine if a giant 1000 feet tall scared you, coming out of your house, you'd go into shock and have a heart attack, too.

Must you rub it in?

>size of a peanut
Cute, I'd want to draw that too. Since mice are so sensitive, I thought it'd catch some scent or feel the vibrations of my footsteps coming. Pretty nice you have a cat to draw at least.

Mice and rats are adorable, I wish they didn't piss and shit everywhere and that said piss and shit didn't potentially carry an incredibly deadly disease called hantavirus.

They're smart af, probably as smart or smarter than many dog breeds.

My apartment had a mouse problem and we kept trying to trap them. Things were too damn smart to fall for any; we only caught a couple with glue traps when they slipped or panicked.

We had a recent mouse invasion too. We had traditional style traps everywhere but they somehow found a way to circumvent them and get the food, or they just plain ignored them. I'd feel bad whenever one would get caught but they face a far more grisly death outside than in anyway. Having your neck snapped instantly is obviously preferable to getting disemboweled by a bird or something. What eventually did them in was a combination of poison food (can't outsmart that) and those sonic emitter things.

In the beginning I tried to catch them alive but that didn't end up working either. They're very impressive little creatures and can jump incredibly high and climb just about anything that isn't glass or plastic.

yep, although having cats and all, pigeons die for shock way more often than mice, and rats almost never do.

my mother has a very easy way of catching them alive

she puts a little piece of meat on one end of a toothpick, and she inserts the other end in the squishy point of a walnut. Afterwards she puts the walnut on a plank or something, and on it a heavy bowl upside down, resting with it's edge on the walnut. The meaty end of the toothpick is pointing inside the bowl.

When the mouse will come to eat the meat, it will move the walnut which in turn will make the bowl fall. Afterwards she can lift the bowl and the plank underneath at the same time to take it out and release the mouse

how the fuck do you learn mice anatomy from drawing a dead one on the ground?

>>2968750
Perfect time for dissection. How do you think the old masters did it?
