Hedgehog drawing is a favorite drawing theme for children. This funny and unusual animal attracts the attention of not only children; many adults even keep hedgehogs at home. Probably not everyone knows that the hedgehog is a very useful animal for humans and can easily replace a cat. Where the hedgehog lives, there will never be mice. He is easily tamed, and just like the cat, the hedgehog loves milk.
Many cartoons have been made about hedgehogs, and the well-known cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog” once took first place in an international animation competition for children. And in our country, the cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog” remains one of the favorites for many years.
When preparing food supplies for the winter, the hedgehog pricks mushrooms and apples on its needles and transports them in this way. A good subject for drawing a hedgehog.
How to draw a picture of a hedgehog, for example, to illustrate the cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog” or a picture of the life of the forest, because it has so many needles? Let's try to do this together and perhaps the "step by step" lesson will seem very easy for you.
Video on how to draw a hedgehog step by step.
1. Initial outlines of a hedgehog drawing
The initial contours of the hedgehog drawing consist of only two ovals. Draw these free-form outlines. In the future, we will adjust these lines and even delete some of them, so when making the initial sketch of the hedgehog, do not press too hard on the pencil.
2. The face and paws of a hedgehog
The second stage will perhaps be the most important in drawing a hedgehog. Try to draw the contour lines of the muzzle as accurately as possible, and also draw the eye, nose and four paws. See how quickly and easily two ovals turn into hedgehog drawing!
3. How to draw the torso and ears
Finish drawing the contour lines of the hedgehog's head, turning them into the overall outline of the body. It is not at all difficult to continue these lines, just trace them around a large oval, connecting them into one outline, as shown in my drawing. Remove the extra lines from the muzzle drawing and draw two ears for him. Shade the nose and eye with black. To make the hedgehog in the picture look like it’s alive, make a small highlight on the eye, or rather, leave a white dot in the middle of the pupil.
4. Detailing the hedgehog drawing
At this stage, you need to clear the hedgehog drawing from the already unnecessary pencil contour lines. Erase them with an eraser carefully so as not to remove the desired contours. After this, proceed to more detailed drawing of the details of the hedgehog picture. Pay attention to the paws, ears and other “little things” in my drawing and draw them on yours. In practice, the hedgehog at this stage of the drawing will already be completely drawn. All that remains is to add shadows and draw the surrounding landscape or scene, if this is a frame from the cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog.”
5. How to draw needles
Perhaps I was a little hasty and completely forgot about the needles. We need to draw a lot more needles. How to draw quills so that the hedgehog doesn't look like a porcupine? Do not draw them with “sticks”, it is better to draw them with a “herringbone”, as in my drawing. And make a slight tilt to the right, as if slightly “smoothing” them. Only the porcupine's quills rise vertically when in danger.
6. How to draw a hedgehog. Final stage
Now we can say that the drawing of the hedgehog is complete and all you have to do is tint it a little with a simple soft pencil or color it with colored pencils. A drawing of a hedgehog will look very good if you draw a few chopped mushrooms or apples on the needles, and draw grass and fallen leaves next to the hedgehog. If you are drawing a scene from the cartoon "Hedgehog in the Fog", draw other characters from this cartoon, and, of course, thick fog.
Only at first glance, it seems that drawing an apple is easy. In addition to the correct shape, you also need to be able to make a two-dimensional drawing of an apple three-dimensional.
Let's draw the mushroom step by step, first with a simple pencil. In the last step, you can color the mushroom with paints or colored pencils.
Strange as it may sound, the ant is the most powerful creature on the planet. Only an ant can drag prey 300 times its weight to its anthill. If you need to draw a hedgehog or an ant for a biology lesson, I suggest you do this task together.
In this lesson we will learn how to draw a spider step by step with a pencil. If you can confidently draw a hedgehog, then this lesson will be quite easy for you.
The snake inspires panic in many people, since some snakes are very poisonous. But in fact, a snake is an ordinary animal from the reptile family that uses venom for self-defense. Some of them are not poisonous at all, for example. Just like the hedgehog, it benefits people. Firstly, the snake catches rodents, and secondly, its venom is used in medicine.
You always want to draw a picture of characters, a book you read about a frog traveler, or make a drawing of a hedgehog from the cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog.” Drawing for children with a simple pencil is best done in stages, first outlining only the general contours of the frog.
Drawing a bee is a good lesson for children who are interested in drawing, as it develops attentiveness and the ability to maintain proportions.
On an autumn theme, you can depict a hedgehog with fruits using step-by-step drawing and coloring with colored pencils. We all start with a simple oval, which gradually turns into a beautiful pencil drawing of a cute forest animal.
Materials for the image of a hedgehog with fruit:
- free sheet;
- pencils;
- black liner;
- eraser.
Drawing a hedgehog with autumn gifts in stages:
We draw a large oval in the center of the sheet, which will soon turn into a hedgehog.
On the right side there will be a hedgehog's face. Therefore, we draw two lines to obtain an oblong muzzle with a spout at the end. On the oval itself we draw a line that borders the muzzle from the prickly “fur coat”.
We draw a small ear near the outline, and in the middle of the muzzle we draw the outline of the eye. We also draw a nose and short antennae at the end of the oblong muzzle. We remove the auxiliary lines.
The legs of forest and ornamental hedgehogs are short, so in the drawing they will also be like that. We draw two pairs of legs and immediately draw a horizontal line to obtain the surface on which the hedgehog stands.
We turn the outline of the “fur coat” into solid spines, which we depict in the form of pencil strokes. We detail the paws and muzzle.
On the hedgehog’s prickly “coat” we place autumn gifts of nature - for example, an apple with a leaf and a small pear.
Draw the contours of the hedgehog with fruit with a black marker.
We paint over the side parts of the fruit, small fragments of the legs and face with a yellow pencil.
We complement the remaining white areas of the hedgehog’s body and head with a light brown tone.
Using a brown pencil with a red tint, we create areas of fur on the paws and muzzle. We paint the middle of the ear with a pink pencil, and the fruits and fur coat with a dark pink pencil.
Use a green pencil to paint over the pear and leaf on the apple, as well as the foliage near the hedgehog’s feet. We darken the animal’s “fur coat” with a burgundy pencil color.
This forest dweller is very easy to draw. This funny little animal will definitely please the eyes of your family and friends. Check out simple instructions for drawing a hedgehog, at the same time you will learn some interesting facts.
1. Draw an oblong horizontal oval with a pointed, raised tip on one side. This is the future face of the animal.
2. Mark the tip of the nose with a black circle, but do not paint it completely. A small white reflection will add realism to the picture. Also, with a reflection, draw an eye for the hedgehog, then a smile, add an ear and four paws.
3. Now draw one even row of needles around the hedgehog’s body.
All hedgehogs have tails, although they are not shown in the pictures. Tail length - total 3 cm and under the needles it is not at all noticeable.
4. Add a few more rows of needles to completely cover the hedgehog’s body. The more prickly needles there are, the more voluminous the hedgehog will be. The needles can be dark, or you can add a few light touches to them.
5. Color the forest dweller. The body and muzzle will be brown, the paws will be gray, and the nose will remain black. The hedgehog is ready!
You can draw such a hedgehog.
Paradox! How often on the pages of books do we see a hedgehog carrying an apple or a pear on its needles, and we can’t help but imagine how in winter he feeds on these simple supplies. However, in reality, hedgehogs eat insects, frogs, worms, and they don't need fruit for the winter- after all, in winter they... sleep.
Dear friend! I hope drawing a hedgehog will bring you pleasure and pleasant emotions. Good luck!
Hedgehogs are the cutest creatures and heroes of numerous fairy tales and cartoons. Everyone knows that they are affectionate, very smart and quick-witted animals. Moreover, they are unique animals that have thorns instead of wool. Apart from hedgehogs, only echidnas and porcupines can boast of this. Most often, a cute hedgehog with intelligent beady eyes is depicted stocking up for the winter, with fruits and mushrooms on his back. However, in fact, hedgehogs are predators and feed on insects and small rodents. Another unique feature that these cute animals have is that they are absolutely not susceptible to poisons and even a viper bite is not scary for them. How to draw a hedgehog? Let's look at it in detail. It won’t be too difficult, so even someone who doesn’t know how to draw can draw a hedgehog step by step. You can use school watercolors, colored pencils, and felt-tip pens.
- Since we will be doing this drawing in watercolor, we will need special, thick paper. It absorbs water well and produces wonderful smooth color transitions. For felt-tip pens, on the contrary, it is better to take paper with a smooth surface. You will need a hard sketch pencil and a soft eraser. First, draw the outline of the hedgehog’s body and the apple on its back. The body will look like an oblong drop, the apple will look like a circle.
- Let’s add a sharp muzzle to our animal with a raised nose and paws. Moreover, the front paws will be shaped like the Russian letter “G”, and the hind paws will have one more bone added. It will not be visible at the far paw, since it is covered by the hedgehog’s abdomen.
- Draw a face and an apple. The eye is round and small, the ear is also almost round. Let's finish drawing the button nose and mouth. Let's draw the apple at a slight angle to make it look more natural.
- We mark the color border on the muzzle - from the nose to the upper eyelid. We draw the hedgehog’s paws; they have small toes. Now the thorns. They can be depicted with a sharp zigzag or abrupt lines. The main thing is that they are not in the same direction. The hedgehog’s body is round and plump, so the spines will “look” in different directions. At the top we draw a zigzag, in the middle the spines begin to bend at an angle and on the abdomen they almost look down. We depict them with short strokes.
- Let's start painting with watercolors. The hedgehog's body will be ocher and warm, so we take light ocher, a little orange and yellow. The top of the muzzle will be darker, and closer to the belly we add more water to create a smooth gradient. We draw the paws with exactly the same color. The inside of the hedgehog's ear will be half dark, and the border will be white. We paint an apple in red, green and yellow watercolors. It is also voluminous, don’t forget about that, so leave a small section of the paper unpainted - it will be a highlight. Make one side of the apple a richer red color. Paint the “spiky” area with short strokes using a wide brush. Alternate between painting with a dry brush and a wet one. It is better to take shades of brown, gray and dark orange. Don't be afraid to mix them, let there be multi-colored stains on the paper. We leave some clean areas, and make some darker (the hedgehog’s head, back and tummy).
- We draw a green leaf of an apple and begin to work on the details of the drawing. Using a thin brush and almost black paint (or very dark brown) we make needles. On the top of the hedgehog they will be the darkest and thickest, slightly “overhanging” the muzzle. Using short strokes we draw spines all over the body. They don't have to be even. There will be more of them on the back, and very few on the abdomen. There are no spines on the paws, but outline the toes with light lines. We make the muzzle more expressive and contrasting. To do this, we draw our hedgehog a large black, shiny nose and the same eyes. To show highlights, leave tiny areas of the paper blank. If you accidentally sketched it, it's okay. Highlights can be added with white acrylic or gouache, simply by placing small dots. We make a mustache for the hedgehog and outline the ear.
Option one
1. Our hedgehog, oddly enough, begins with an electrocardiogram:
2. Draw ears on the sides...
3. ...and in the ears squiggles, which are usually drawn in the ears:
4. Finish drawing the head:
5. Draw a muzzle and make small serifs (that is, dashes) at the ends of the smile:
6. Draw the hedgehog’s tummy. Draw the body smaller than the head, it’s prettier.
7. Legs...
8. ...and handles:
8. The most important thing left is the needles. We start from the bottom and work our way around:
Option two
1. Draw an oblong horizontal oval with a pointed, raised tip on one side. This is the future face of the animal.
2. Mark the tip of the nose with a black circle, but do not paint it completely. A small white reflection will add realism to the picture. Also, with a reflection, draw an eye for the hedgehog, then a smile, add an ear and four paws.
3. Now draw one even row of needles around the hedgehog’s body.
All hedgehogs have tails, although they are not shown in pictures. The length of the tail is only 3 cm and under the needles it is not at all noticeable.
4. Add a few more rows of needles to completely cover the hedgehog’s body. The more prickly needles there are, the more voluminous the hedgehog will be. The needles can be dark, or you can add a few light touches to them.
5. Color the forest dweller. The body and muzzle will be brown, the paws will be gray, and the nose will remain black. The hedgehog is ready!
