The execution of the shading is extremely competent and it meaningfully captures a terrestrial animal in his/her environment. As an animal lover, I cannot scroll past a lovely image with such a theme and not provide well-deserved praise. This definitely receives a six star rating from me!

I am so fascinated by the technique of pointillism and you certainly have mastered it. The details in the facial expression of the racoon are striking, his little whiskers and paws perfect. The bark on the tree is well done too. Great work.

    thank you for having taken the time to look at my portfolio and commenting on this drawing, it is very much appreciated.
    I really like the stippling and pointillism techniques for creating impressionistic style artwork.

This is stunning - he is so cute. Love the nose and the paw. Eyes are great too. You have really captured his inquisitive nature with your art. I love him / her.

Great technique, great result!! I like the Raccoon as he peers through the tree.
His fine details and sad expression are very expertly portrayed.
Well done LvO. Gerry.

Comment from brightside1099


Very nice work. You've done a great job with both the raccoon and the tree bark. The sparkle of light in the eyes and on the nose give this little fella a pleasing pursonality. It's a shame you can charge by the dot for one like this...LOL

I love this it is so cute and I can image it took a long time to do all those dots.
The shading is exceptional. And I love the way the nose has a little shine on it.

Comment from sarnewfie


Hi LVO this is very nice! this is only MY opinion, take it or leave it, as we all see things thru our own eyes as beautiful in different ways.
i feel that the trunk of the tree takes over the photo, i wonder if there was more of the coon included in this, or less of the trunk, how it would look?
my eyes wandered first to the trunk and hardly looked at the coon.
no disrespect intended as i feel it still is nicely done.
