the other night I could hear a raccoon family talking to each other in the trees out behind my studio. I don’t see them around much, but sometimes in the summer some young ones come exploring. It was dark out, so I didn’t see them again, but that doesn’t stop me from drawing them however inaccurately it might be
I also got this silly critter as finished as it’s going to get, so here’s the side-by-side with the originally posted version, 11 June 2023. Not much difference I suppose, but enough for me to put it away.



The original post of this goes back a ways, to 17 July 2020. I’m back playing with color pencils, which take time to get the results I like, so it’s been slow going for a few days. This one was originally watercolor, now overlayed with the color pencil. It’s probably not finished, but I’m not sure how much more time I want to put into it.
Going back to the original pencil sketch, I’m not so sure this is an improvement. But, colors!

This one was originally posted as 2 February 2022. It hasn’t changed much, but just now feels finished enough to put away.

Here’s another one that got some more work done on it. It hasn’t really changed much, just got to where I felt it was finished.
