'Jimothy' is a wild raccoon with a congenital short spine syndrome.
This cute little guy gets around just fine in his Seattle neighborhood, making him both endearing and inspiring. His story went viral last month.
Here’s a little video that shows how I draw him, using a water-soluble felt pen and a soft pencil.
Here’s a video of Jimothy's amusing antics.
I love the mixed media aspect of this-- and why did it never occur to me before to use whiteout for highlights???
Simple shapes, refine and add detail, then redefine the main shape with whiteout - a great demonstration of how to sketch! A timely reminder about the ubiquity of altruism, as well. <3
