June Toons 2025 #28: Trash Dive

A cartoon illustration of a raccoon diving into a trash can. The raccoon is beaming widely, and is diving straight into the trash can, about to hit it. His legs are bowed out to the sides above him, and his tail is sticking straight up between them. The trash can is drawn in a distorted way, with the can much wider and shallower than it would be normally. There is a lid leaning up against it and a bag of trash behind it. A banana peel and other random bits of trash can be seen near the opening at the top. The raccoon is brown with faded dark brown stripes and "mask". He has a gray nose and slightly yellow teeth. The trash can is a steel blue and the trash bad behind it is shiny and gray. The background is a bold gold color, with a lighter fractured triangular shape behind the raccoon, pointing down toward the opening of the trash can.

For today's June Toons cartoon, I drew an ecstatic raccoon diving into a trash can!

I could've used a little more vertical space for this one, to have the can be taller and the raccoon be a little farther away from it. Having to work within a square forced me to make some interesting choices though, and I like the absurdity of this large raccoon jumping into such a shallow trash can.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Studio Pen brush for everything else.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
