Just thought I would post something besides roses. Graphite & Graphitint pencil.

So cute, you've captured that mischievous look that racoons seem to have! I like the softness of the colour the graphitint has given you, did you wet them or leave it all dry, and what sort of paper did you use? I have some of those pencils but not played enough to get good results yet.

Very nice! Looks like you've captured the 'personality' of this little one...
Could you maybe post a larger version?

Mike, I will try to post a larger picture...might be a day or two.
Virgo, I lightly dampened my finger & just touched it to the paper. I just used sketch paper. Really didn't think it would turn out to be a fininshed project.

Mike,
This scan didn't come out very clear
but it was the best I could get.

Mike,
I see this one didn't turn out any larger than the rest even tho I enlarged it. Perhaps I can try again at a later time.

The first one I had seen posted was much smaller than this.
Love the eyes!!!! Very well done.

Thanks, Mike. I noticed I said it was Graphite pencil when actually it was charcoal pencil.
This turned out to be one of my favorites.
