How To Draw A Raccoon
Have you ever seen a cute, furry raccoon and wanted to bring it to life on paper? You may think that drawing this curious mammal would be hard, but it’s actually much simpler than you would expect! All you need is a few simple tools and a little bit of patience and you’ll soon be able to capture the cuteness of a raccoon in no time. So grab your materials and let’s get to it.
Step 1: Get the Right Supplies
First, you’ll want to make sure you have the right supplies. You’ll need a pencil, eraser, drawing paper, and a ruler or straight edge. These basic supplies are all you need to get started on your masterpiece.
Step 2: Outline the Basic Shape
Begin by drawing an oval outline for the raccoon’s face. Make sure it is slightly longer than it is wide. This will act as the animal’s head. Then, draw two small circles near the top of the oval. These will be the eyes. To finish the basic shape, draw a curved line beneath the oval, with the end of the line pointing slightly downward. This will be the raccoon’s nose.
Step 3: Shape the Ears and Draw Fur
Next, draw two small triangles for the raccoon’s ears. Place them above the eyes and on either side of the head. To finish the look, draw short lines from the ears, nose, and eyes, to give the raccoon a furry look.
Step 4: Add Details and Shading
Now it’s time to give your raccoon life and personality! Darken in the eyes, nose and ears to bring out the details. Use a darker shade for the coloring around the eyes and nose to give the raccoon an extra bit of depth and dimension. You can also add tiny details like whiskers to the raccoon’s face to give it an extra bit of charm.
Step 5: Final Touches
The final step is to add fur on the rest of the body. Draw short, curved lines to give the raccoon a furry texture. You can also add some highlights to the fur by tracing over your lines with a white colored pencil or paint. Finally, color in the fur with either a gray or brown color for a more realistic look.
Bringing It All Together
Now, you should have a beautiful finished raccoon drawing! The simple steps outlined above should make it easier to create this cute creature. The key is to practice, practice, practice! The more you draw, the more confident you’ll become and your raccoon drawings will become even more impressive. So keep at it, and before you know it, you’ll be mastering the art of drawing raccoons.
