I like that you chose to show a different style of working and it still reads as ‘Adam Ming’

I love that it exposes the Raccoon as the villain he is. 😤 (I have a lot of Raccoon issues where I live. They are terrible. 🤦🏻‍♀️)

I've never seen a raccoon in my life, at least not in the wild... we have monkeys tho, lots of monkeys!

That sounds like way more fun! Raccoons are cute-looking but they’re mean and they rummage through your trash.

Thank you, Adam, for sharing this. I like that you’ve used a minimal colour palette, your drawing look really strong and I love the little details - the little stick lying on the ground and the little bird, when I was a kid I loved finding little details. Was it part of the brief that you are using a limited colour palette… or is this an early part of the process and you’ll be going to full colour? I’d be interested to know. Thanks again for posting.

I gave myself a brief to use this palette , the goal is to get considered for chapter books, so I aimed to show that I can do this kind of thing, if I was working on a colored spread, I would apptoch the line work differently for the sketch and have almost no line work in the final illustrations
