5. Draw the raccoon's nose. Begin by placing a vertical curved line in the middle of the oval. At the bottom of this line, outline the snout. Use a curved line that extends beyond the face and then connects with the bottom of it, forming an incomplete oval. Use two curved lines to form a rounded triangle at the tip of the nose, and shade within it.

7. Outline the raccoon's body. Extend two broadly spaced curved lines downwards from the head. At the bottom, allow one to curve under until it almost meets the other. Then, outline the legs and feet. Draw a curved line to indicate each leg, and enclose an irregular shape to form each foot.

8. Draw the arms using a pair of curved lines. Complete the hands using "U" shaped lines to form the fingers. Indicate toes on the feet using short, curved lines. Finally, draw the tail using a pair of long, curved lines that meet in a point. Notice how the lines curve outward to give the tail a fluffy appearance. Then, band the tail with pairs of parallel curved lines.

Theraccoonis a nocturnal mammal native to North and South America. It is characterized by its striped, or ringed, tail and its "mask" of dark fur across its eyes.
This "mask," along with its clever nature and tendency to raid food from trash cans, has given theraccoona reputation as a bandit.
