Hi Maureen, I love Raccoons and I think black and white works very well. They all look so inquisitive and intelligent. Love the background and composition. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest :-)

Charcoal artwork of the racoon family captures the subject's essence beautifully, revealing their unique character and personality. The use of black and white and shading creates a sense of depth and dimension that's truly captivating. Well done! Good luck!

Wonderful! You do wonderful work! You have probably used charcoal for a while. I invite you to look at the black and white drawing of my house.

An excellent drawing of a Racoon family. The detail and capture of their cute faces, like little bandits is realistic. The hair is sharp and realistic a good entry in black and white of a charcoal drawing. Good luck in the contest.

A moma and four pups. Maureen you have captured the essence of this woodland family out on a jaunt. So cute. Love the eyes and whiskers. Very nicely presented and great charcoal work. Ray

Great Title, Mischief Makers - INDEED! A wonderful charcoal of momma and her young. You have represented each of them with that look of determination yet with a hint of caution. The branches in the background are effective and place the family in their environment. I like the way they are climbing over the log towards the viewer.

What a great entry. I love the scene per se. You've really drawn this racoon family well. Their faces are well-defined and also the textures of their fur. I like how you shade them with charcoal gray and black that increased the definition of their facial features. Framing placement and negatives spaces are great. This is a competitive entry to this Animal Art Contest. Indeed, a cute scene.
