Step 1: Draw a big, wide circle as a guide for the raccoon's head. To draw the circle, first make four marks to determine the height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. Draw the marks on the sides farther apart than the top and bottom marks so that the circle is wide and oval-like. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. If you're struggling to draw the circle, just trace the outer rim of a circular object like a bowl or a cup.

Step 2: Draw a long, curved, horizontal line across the circle as a guide to help you place the raccoon's facial features later. Draw this line slightly lower than the middle. Add a curved, vertical line on the top, right for another guide.

Step 3: On top of the horizontal line, and on either side of the vertical line, draw two small circles as guides for the eyes. Keep the eyes close to the middle. Use the vertical line as a guide to help you space out the raccoon's eyes.

Step 4: Draw another circle below the horizontal line as a guide for the raccoon's muzzle. Use the four-marks method again to draw this circle. Make the circle wider than it is longer. The top and bottom of this circle should fit snugly between the horizontal line and the bottom of the head.

Step 5: Inside the muzzle, near the bottom, draw small oval as a guide for the nose. Sketch lightly at first to get the shape right. Pay attention to how big the oval is in relation to the raccoon's muzzle.
