Lisa's Happy Hour Raccoon

Here is Lisa's awesome Poster Symbol for our times.

There are so many great things happening here and I think it works well as it is.

There are so many differences from one raccoon to the next that there  doesn't appear to be a set rule of how one is supposed to look exactly, like the distance between the eyes and the nose or the distance between the eyes. They seem to be as individual as people.






However, I did have a few Photoshop suggestions.


1. Though I didn't adjust them, the ears may be a little close together and a tad large.
2. Perhaps the eyes could be a little brighter and a bit larger. The skin around the eyes could be accentuated to pop the eyes. I added a bit of warm brown and pushed the blue and added a highlight.   3. The fur typically appears to widen, level with the muzzle. Kind of like raccoon muttonchops.
4. I suggested a kind of crooked smile to fun our hero up a bit.
5. I brought the height of the white up on the muzzle to bring the nose and mouth and the eyes a little more unified. It seems to make her a little happier. There is also an inward curve above the widest part of the white muzzle near the mouth.
6. Though Lisa's original raccoon nose looks great, I made it a little lighter on top and added the nostrils.
7. After looking at several raccoons I've noticed that in most of them they don't have a lot of fur on their hands. What I've indicated here isn't super accurate anatomically but shows the the shorter fur. Also having darker hands doesn't pull our eye downward away from the face.

And last, Lisa could push the warm /cool side thing a little.
                                                                                        

At the bar.

At the end of the night.
