Make two shapes, one for the head and another for the body. You will then add guidelines for the face and legs.

Description: There is a particular animal that has been making headlines all over the internet and it's not a species from my country and his name is Tanu. This animal species is from Japan and it is known as a Japanese raccoon dog or a tanuki. This species is a very old one that dates back many centuries ago. In fact, the Tanuki is from Japanese folklore, but since the animal has been in the public eye worldwide, this is no longer a creature from lore. This lesson is going to show us how to draw a Tanuki or a raccoon dog, step by step. Of course these animals look so much like raccoons or badgers, it's hard to say if they are dogs at all. Anyways, I do hope you enjoy the tut. I will be back with some other fun lessons so stick around.
