35 Free Racoon Coloring Pages

Getting the Raccoon Look Right

Raccoons are famous for their distinctive black masks and bushy, ringed tails. When coloring these nocturnal mammals, you can stick to natural shades of gray, charcoal, silver, and brown. Pay special attention to the facial details, leaving the fur around their dark masks white to make their features stand out. For the woodland backgrounds, use earthy greens and browns to bring their habitats to life. Common scenes include:

• Hollow tree trunks where mother raccoons hide their kits.
• Backyard trash cans where these curious foragers search for snacks.
• Rocky riverbanks where they famously wash their food.

Intricate Designs for Older Colorists

Adults and older students can focus on the complex mandala patterns and highly detailed portraits. These specific pages require fine-tipped markers or sharp colored pencils to carefully fill in the intricate floral and celestial shapes surrounding the animals. Coloring these dense patterns is a great way to practice shading techniques and color blending on the thick fur textures. You can experiment with cool grays and warm browns to give the animal a realistic, three-dimensional appearance against the abstract backgrounds.
