Before how to draw a raccoon with a pencil, I’ll tell you about this beast. The raccoon is a mammalian predator. They usually live in the richest, in their humble opinion, country - the USA. We have only one subspecies of this family, a distant relative – the striped raccoon. And in some countries of the Asian part of Europe it is called a rinsing bear, or a stupidly washing bear. What’s remarkable is that this gargle bear cub cannot be confused with any other animal. Their distinctive feature is the striped color of the tail, and another black stripe on the face. You might think that he is a thief and has put on a mask with holes for the eyes. It is likely that nature intended it this way, because there are many known cases of theft among raccoons. He especially often likes to borrow food from us humans. But we are not offended, and even willingly feed this animal.
Let's get down to business, and then watch the video of raccoons eating acorns in a small pool.
How to draw a raccoon with a pencil step by step
You will also be interested in other drawing lessons, for example.
Sometimes on the Internet you come across such touching, funny, good pictures that it is simply impossible to resist drawing them for yourself. This happened to me once again. Moreover, I want to draw a picture with you, my dear readers. A cute picture, which at first glance seems difficult for you to make, will easily yield to your hands with the help of my step-by-step instructions. Be an artist with me today and you will learn how to draw a raccoon.
In order to draw our baby Raccoon, we will need the following materials and tools:
1. paper;
2. simple soft pencil(3B-5B);
3. eraser;
4. knife;
5. white acrylic paint, or white paper and scissors;
6. black marker;
7. own finger.
Now relax, carefully read the instructions and believe that everything will work out!
Take a sheet of paper and lightly draw a slightly lopsided mushroom like this with a pencil. These are the contours of the head and body of our Raccoon:
We add ears and a tail to the mushroom. We divide the head in half with a light line, slightly askew:
On both sides of our oblique line we draw large shapes that follow the contours of the head. And we divide the tail into strips with the expectation that the tip should ultimately be dark:
Draw a nose. The tips of the spout should touch the tips of the large shapes that we have already drawn. Under the nose, draw a small line in the form of a hook - this will be the Raccoon’s mouth:
Now we need to take a pencil and use a knife to gently and carefully sharpen the pencil rod so that we get a small amount of graphite shavings:
Next, we dip our finger in graphite shavings and carefully smear the graphite over our drawing, trying not to go too far beyond the contours, but we also need to go a little beyond the contours, this will later add fluffiness to our Raccoon. I advise you to work this out with your ring finger. right hand(anatomically easier):
Now the pencil will be used with all its strength. Pressing the pencil firmly onto the paper, we sketch out the shapes on the Raccoon’s face. Don't overdo it, or you'll have to go sharpen a broken pencil:
Paint over the stripes on the tail until it is as dark as possible. As I wrote earlier, the tip needs to be made dark:
In the same way, work the entire Raccoon along the contour. Do it lightly, in some places more, in others less. For example, draw more of the cheeks and upper parts of the ears, and less of the lower parts of the ears, butt and tail:
Now we take the eraser in our hands and wipe the pencil in the following areas: the ears from below, almost the entire part around the nose, cheeks, breast, stripes on the tail. We also make white spots in the eyebrow area. Using a pencil, draw a dark stripe along the back from the neck to the tail. Our drawing is becoming more and more like a cute little animal:
Using a simple pencil, we make strokes along the entire perimeter of the Raccoon and as a result we get fur. Try to draw the fur in the right direction, in different directions, follow
those behind my drawing:
The eyes can be painted with white acrylic paint; it will cover the dark graphite layer of the pencil. Try to draw a triangular shape for the eyes, this will add cuteness to the Raccoon's face. Or you can cut out small triangles from paper and glue them in the right place. Not with glue only
overdo it, otherwise you will end up with an unwashed Raccoon. Use a black marker to draw the pupils. And don’t forget to put a white dot on the nose - a highlight, paint or a small circle cut out of paper. Draw a light shadow under the Raccoon:
This is such a cute baby. Now you know how to draw a raccoon. Hope you enjoyed it. Have a nice holiday!
Despite this, such an activity does not always bring joy to children, since a bad drawing can greatly upset them. Therefore, parents must explain and show how to complete this or that picture. As everyone understands, children most often portray their favorite cartoon characters.
In our article we will look at the question of how to depict a raccoon step by step. Such a hero was chosen for a reason. All children love the cartoon “Little Raccoon” and, of course, try to recreate its image on paper.
Preparing for work
However, drawing such a picture is not quite as easy as it might initially seem. Therefore, parents should know all the difficulties of creating the image of the hero we have chosen. So how draw a raccoon with a pencil step by step and how to depict drawings of raccoons?
First, before you start studying the question of how to draw a baby raccoon, you need to prepare all the tools important for the job. We will need:
- good eraser;
- album sheet (you can take a larger format piece of paper);
- sharp knife;
- or white paper and sharp scissors (these things will be needed to depict the eyes).
When everything is ready to make our drawing, we can start working.
How to draw a raccoon?
On a prepared piece of paper, using light lines, draw the outline of our hero. Its head and body slightly resemble the outline of a fungus. Then we will draw the tail and ears of our character. To clearly depict the raccoon’s head, we will use an auxiliary line to divide the sketch of the upper part of the drawing into two parts. Moreover, the line must be made with a slight slope. Do not forget that at the first stage of making the illustration, all the lines will need to be drawn without pressing the pencil. This is necessary so that later when they are removed there will be no traces left on the paper.
Next, you need to draw an even outline of our raccoon’s head and the shapes in which the animal’s eyes will be located on each side of the additional line. Look at the fact that our hero's head is much larger than his body. The raccoon's tail will need to be divided into a couple of parts, in this way giving our character a greater resemblance to a real animal. Remember that the tip of the ponytail needs to be slightly shaded.
Draw a face.
When studying the question of how to depict a raccoon, you should pay a lot of attention to the face our hero. Having drawn the nose, look at the fact that its ends touch the previously depicted shapes. Let's make the mouth of our beast small.
Creating the desired texture
New stage in the question of how to draw a raccoon, this is to give the hero maximum similarity to the original character. This can be done using applying texture. Job description:
- take a pencil and a sharp knife. Slowly sharpen some graphite shavings with a knife. Then, dipping your ring finger into the powder, we will rub the graphite well and very carefully along the entire perimeter of the image. When making the animal texture, pay attention to the fact that a little graphite should extend beyond the contours. Thus, our character will be able to get fur very similar to the original;
- further goes regular pencil. We press it to. Just don’t press too hard, otherwise it may break. Then we will shade those parts of the character where the eyes will be. In the same vein, let's go through the entire contour of our animal. However, you should not draw a character in one tone. For example, the upper parts of the ears and cheeks of a raccoon can be shaded a little stronger, and the lower part and tail a little weaker;
- Now we can give our drawing a great resemblance to the cute Little Raccoon. To do this, use an eraser to make many of the particles in the picture a little lighter than the background. Let's lightly erase new areas of the drawing: the area around the small nose, the lower part of the ears, the stripes of the tail, the chest and beautiful cheeks. Also look at the eyebrow areas. Raccoons have one difference: they have a dark stripe on their backs from the neck to the tail. Don't forget to draw this element with a pencil.
In order for our drawing to be completely similar to the original, you will need to draw the fur with a pencil. To do this, we walk around the entire perimeter of the raccoon small dashed lines. To make the raccoon's eyes, we'll use acrylic paint. Look at how cute the triangular eye shape gives his face. If you don’t have such paint on hand, you should cut out the eyes from white paper and attach them with glue. Using a marker we will make the pupils of the animal.
In the same way, we will draw a highlight on the raccoon’s nose. The last point is the image of the shadow of the animal. So you have learned how to draw a raccoon. We hope our recommendations will help you. There are different drawings raccoons, you can choose any one you like, but better for the child start drawing more simple drawings and pictures so that they are not disappointed.
The raccoon is an amazing animal, if only because it managed to get out of North America to other continents and settle down well there. And now we consider the raccoon completely “ours” and some even keep them at home.
The raccoon has excellent fluffy and beautiful fur, and in general, it looks very cute.
In this lesson we will draw a raccoon step by step. The drawing of a raccoon was made by me on graphics tablet, but you can draw with a pencil.
1. Let's draw the initial contours of the raccoon's body
Take a sheet of paper and draw these simple shapes almost in the center. They will help you draw correctly general outline body and legs of a raccoon.
2. Contours of legs and ears
Now add just five short lines and two circles to the oval of the head. And it immediately became clear that these would be the paws and ears of a raccoon.
The video looks funny: raccoons caressing something in a basin, like a laundress. Only gargle raccoons can do this, and only because they like to generously rinse any food they catch in water before eating it.
3. Finish drawing the general outlines
Add three small circles to the bottom three lines, and add three more lines at an angle to them. At the back, draw a smooth line for the outline of the tail. All! At this point we finish drawing the preliminary marking outlines and begin to trace them to make a real drawing of a raccoon.
4. Outline the outer contour of the raccoon
Take a thin pencil and an eraser. Outline the general outline of the raccoon as shown in my drawing. If necessary, constantly erase incorrect pencil strokes and apply new ones until you achieve perfect accuracy and proportionality.
5. Draw the raccoon's head in detail
Now you need to use an eraser to erase all the internal contours except the head and draw the raccoon's face in detail. By the way, what do you think the raccoon looks like? Like a fox or a wolf, or maybe a dog? But scientists consider the raccoon to be a distant relative of the bear.
6. Final pencil drawing
Well, now you need to decide how to complete the final drawing. If you use a simple pencil technique, then this step will help you apply shadows. If you want to make the raccoon drawing in color, then go to the very top of the lesson and copy the coloring of the raccoon from my drawing made on a graphics tablet.
A wolf is similar in appearance to a fox because they have the same ancestors. But the wolf has more pronounced predatory characteristics. Its fangs are longer than those of a fox, and its tail is not as fluffy. A wolf, unlike a fox, is most often depicted with a grin in drawings to convey its aggressive character. This grin can create a big effect wild beast and in your drawing. In this lesson we will learn how to draw a wolf step by step with a pencil.
A hare can sometimes become a fox's prey. You can use this lesson for a picture with such a plot, a rabbit is very similar to a hare. Drawings of rabbits jumping merrily seem simple to draw only at first glance. In any drawing of an animal, you need to accurately maintain the proportions and convey its character and grace.
I made the drawing of the pear on a graphics tablet, but you can draw a pear step by step as usual with a simple pencil.
A deer lives together in the same forest with a fox and sometimes their paths cross. If you decide draw a fox in a forest clearing, you can draw in the distance a deer emerging from the forest.
We will draw the cow step by step using a simple pencil. If you managed to draw a cow correctly, you can color the drawing with paints or pencils.
Drawing a fox or a bear requires some preparation and practice in drawing animals. The fact is that it is necessary to reflect the character of a ferocious and dangerous animal in a drawing of a bear. Of course, if you are drawing an illustration of a fairy tale about a sly fox, then the bear should have a good-natured appearance. In nature, bears, be they white or brown, are quite dangerous predators.
“A smile will make everyone brighter, a smile will make a rainbow wake up in the sky, share your smile and it will come back to you more than once!...” - do you know this song? Of course you do! This song is familiar to us from the very beginning. early childhood. From the first books my mother reads. And here is the very book on the basis of which the cartoon with this song was created - “The Adventures of Little Raccoon.”
The main character of this fairy tale, Little Raccoon, is a very kind and sensitive animal. As a result of his own experience, he learns that you should always be kind, treat others well, and they will also respond kindly to you. The main thing is kind words, a friendly smile and the magic word “please”. Raccoon's mother taught him this. This wise tale teaches children the best thoughts, feelings and actions. Here we draw step by step the main character of this fairy tale - baby Little Raccoon.
Stage 1. The hero will be placed at the full height of the landscape sheet. Therefore, correctly calculate the proportions of his body. At the top of the sheet we draw the head of a raccoon. We draw a circle with a compass or, as usual, outline a round thing of suitable diameter. We begin to draw the lines of the raccoon's face. We draw the raised parts above the horizontal line. And we lower the edges below this line. At the top in a circle we draw ears, a frontal line and wide eyebrows.
Stage 2. By horizontal line draw eyes. They are quite big. First we make the lower edges, then we raise them in an arched manner upper eyelids. Draw dark pupils. Below the eyes we draw an elongated part of the muzzle, on which the nose button is located. Below the nose we show a mouth stretched out in a wonderful smile. Here you can see a tongue with a hollow in the middle. We finish drawing the sides of the raccoon's muzzle - the so-called “cheeks”. These will be very wide “cheeks” covered with beautiful even hair. We make them symmetrically on both sides of the eyes and mouth. At the ends we show the uneven edges of the wool. Under the head, outline the lines of the body - draw a vertical oval.
Stage 3. Now let's start drawing the torso. Along the oval we draw the contours of the abdomen, legs, and sides of the body. Separate the top of the clothing from the bottom. Let's draw a brush with which our raccoon paints in the same way as you. At the same stage, you need to draw out his paws and arms. They are bent at the elbow joints. The handles are thick, strong, the fingers squeeze the brush in a fist.
Stage 4. Add lines of panties at the bottom of the body. We draw the paws on which the raccoon stands. In your left hand, draw a rounded palette of paints. On the palette we will show in circles the recesses for paints different colors. At the back we will draw a very beautiful thick tail for the raccoon. It must be striped.
Stage 5. As a result of the lesson, we came up with such a wonderful hero from the fairy tale “The Adventures of Little Raccoon”. It's still in black and white for now.
Stage 6. Color the character as shown in our last stage.
