Step 16: To the right of the body, lightly sketch a long, curved line for the raccoon's tail. When you get the shape right, darken the tail using broken lines to represent fur. The tail should be wide and somewhat pointy at the end.

Step 17: Using a pen or marker, carefully go over the lines to make your raccoon drawing permanent. After inking, get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser.

Final Step: Color your raccoon drawing using color pencils, markers or even crayons! Use black for the nose, the section around the eyes, the ears , the feet and the stripes on the tail. Add the color lightly at first, then gradually make it darker. Leave a section above the eyes blank, along with the cheeks, chest and underside. Color the rest of the body gray and blend in a little bit of brown too. Don't forget to pause the video after each step to draw at your own pace.
