The canonical quantization of a (D=2n)-dimensional Dirac particle with spin in an arbitrary external electromagnetic field is performed in a gauge that makes it possible to describe simultaneously particles and antiparticles (both massive and massless) already at the classical level. A pseudoclassical Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is used to find the canonical (Newton-Wigner) coordinates. The connection between this quantization scheme and Blount`s picture describing the behavior of a Dirac particle in an external electromagnetic field is discussed.
