Painting technique
And here are step-by-step instructions for children on how to beautifully draw a hedgehog using paints.
- To repeat this simple drawing technique, prepare brushes with paints and sheets of paper.
- First, dip your brush into white paint and start drawing a circle in the center of the sheet, and then color it.
- Extend it in front to create a nose. Wash off the remaining paint from the brush and paint black.
- We block her body without going into the nose area. Use the same paint to paint the needles.
- After you've washed your brush again, it's time to paint the face with brown paint and use the same color to paint the hedgehog's paws.
- Now you can decorate the hedgehog by painting an apple on the needles with brown and red paints.
- Now take a thinner brush to paint the details. Draw all the elements of the face - smile, eyes, nose.
- Draw the tail of the apple. Draw the needles better.
- Take green paint and paint an apple leaf and grass.
Hedgehog, step by step instructions
If you are wondering how to draw a hedgehog beautifully with a pencil, this technique of drawing this character in stages with a pencil will help you.
Take a landscape sheet and put a couple of dots on it, there should be about two centimeters between them. Draw the segment vertically.
Mark the middle and a little lower draw a line of the same length in the horizontal direction.
Hedgehog from your favorite cartoon
Surely your child likes the animated series “Smeshariki”. Then he will be delighted with the idea of drawing one of the characters from this cartoon - the Hedgehog.
You will learn how easy it is to draw such a picture by following the step-by-step instructions.
- Prepare a landscape sheet, markers of different colors and a simple pencil. Draw a circle in the center of the sheet.
- Divide the resulting circle into four equal parts, first drawing a vertical line, then a horizontal one.
- In those areas where the lines and the circle touch, draw inclined segments. In the center from the point of intersection of the lines, draw upward oblique lines.
- Step back a little from the top of the circle and, focusing on the vertical line, draw the forehead.
- Draw your eyebrows a little lower; they are rectangular in shape and slightly inclined.
- Draw the eyes, they should be large, around them draw glasses in the form of circles, inside the eyes add pupils and highlights.
- Complete the glasses by drawing the arms.
- It is better to depict the nose and mouth in a triangular shape.
Hedgehog for preschool children
The figure of a hedgehog is always drawn in two parts: the head and the body. Their location is marked on a piece of paper using two ovals.
The body template is a large oval drawn horizontally. A smaller oval is depicted vertically, which will become the base for the hedgehog’s head.
There is no point in worrying that the outline of oval shapes is uneven. At the end of the job, the lines will be covered with needles or simply wiped off.
Step by step:
- A sharp muzzle is added to the small oval, and inside it there is a small circle instead of an eye. The pointed part ends in a round spout. Four legs are added at the bottom along the entire body.
- A general outline of the animal’s figure is created. Two ears are completed. The hedgehog's legs resemble curved branches with two processes of different lengths directed in one direction.
- The conditional lines of the sketch are erased. Small antennae are drawn next to the demolition. The eye area is more clearly defined. A trace of glare is left on the pupil.
- Three fingers are formed on the hedgehog's paws.
- The upper contour line of the abdomen is drawn.
- The needles are applied with small teeth tightly adjacent to each other with a slight inclination to the right. If you draw them like stroke sticks, you will get the image of a porcupine.
- The conventional lines are erased from the drawing.
- Shadows add volume to the hedgehog, and the leaves under his feet will make the picture complete.
Drawing needles
Above your head, start drawing a triangle, but do not extend it to a circle. Draw a line to the right of the intersection of the inclined line and the edge of the circle, then connect it to the next inclined line.
On the left, repeat the same thing, so you get the “needles” of a hedgehog. In the gaps formed between the needles, put a mark and, focusing on it, add another needle on each side.
Drawing the main elements
- Draw the hedgehog’s head, elongated, with a transition to an oval-shaped nose, and ears in the form of semicircles.
- Draw zigzags between the ears. A small arc is the mouth.
- Two ovals are eyes; inside them draw pea-shaped pupils.
- Now draw the lower needles and tummy. When drawing the belly, leave gaps for the legs. Draw the paws in the gaps.
- You can color your creation!
You can paint the body, legs and head of the hedgehog with a yellowish-orange color; give the nose and needles a dark gray color.
Draw a hedgehog with an apple.
Hedgehogs love apples, so we will show you how to draw a hedgehog with an apple.

So, hedgehogs. In winter, hedgehogs hibernate, and in summer they puff and curl up in a ball. If a hedgehog lives in a house, at night he catches mice with a loud stomp. As you can see, there are a whole lot of benefits from hedgehogs. So it would be strange not to draw hedgehogs for the joy of ourselves and the children, which is what we will do.
Our hedgehog, oddly enough, begins with an electrocardiogram:
Draw ears on the sides...
...and in the ears squiggles, which are usually drawn in the ears:
Let's finish drawing the head:
We draw a face like a bunny’s, only without a mustache (if you don’t already know how to do this!), and at the ends of the smile we make small serifs (that is, dashes):
The other day I was asked how to draw a body. Here you go - draw the hedgehog’s tummy. Draw the body smaller than the head, it’s prettier.
...and pens:
The most important thing left is the needles. Bang-bang!!! We start from the hedgehog “hip joint” (where the leg grows) and go in a circle:
“What the hell, why is he so skewed?!” “Yeah, and the needles are uneven!” Now, if such thoughts have occurred to you now, call your child to the monitor and let him say whether the hedgehog is cute or not. I don’t deliberately redo drawings for the site, I draw as it is drawn, so I left it crooked. Everything is fair. And, rest assured, it will turn out just as uneven - and there’s nothing wrong with that! Well, crooked and crooked, should we shoot with it, or what? The main thing is cute!
By the way, you can catch me lying: the hedgehog takes not the promised 10 seconds, but the entire 20.
And now the question from the IQ test: “Continue the logical sequence: bunny, cat, hedgehog, ...?” The correct answer is cow. This is what we will draw next time.
What is this small and cute animal whose back is covered with sharp needles that protect it in case of danger? Did you guess it? This is a hedgehog that is often talked about in children's poems and fairy tales. When it is frightened, it curls up into a ball, exposing its quills, so predators cannot get close to it to bite or eat it. Its needles serve not only as defense, but also as assistance during the transfer of fruits and other food to its burrow. His black nose and eyes evoke only tenderness, but if you manage to inspire trust in this baby, you will be able to touch his soft paws with sharp claws. We will draw such a cute animal in this step-by-step lesson using a graphics tablet. But you can also use a regular pencil.
Image of painting details
- Complete this line with a rounded nose. Draw an oval from the nose, slightly lengthening it.
- Also draw two semi-ovals under it - one slightly smaller. This will be the mouth. Above the nose, draw oval-shaped eyes. The pupils will be round.
- From the mouth, draw the cheeks, which turn into semi-ovals above the eyes.
- Move on to drawing the needles. Start under the chin in a zigzag line, then trace it around the entire body of the hedgehog.
- Draw the front paws with toes, then the hind legs.
- Proceed to coloring your masterpiece.
Draw all the details with a black felt-tip pen, and also color the nose, the area of the mouth above the tongue, and draw the eyebrows. Once you have traced all the elements, erase the pencil lines with an eraser.
Adding details
- Under the body, draw pear-shaped legs. Draw oval handles on the sides.
- Now take a black felt-tip pen and trace all the details of the image.
- Erase the pencil sketch and start converting the image to color.
- A black felt-tip pen is perfect for coloring in part of the pupils.
- A purple pencil or felt-tip pen will be needed to color the needles.
- The mouth and glasses will be blue.
- You can color the Hedgehog's eyebrows and nose with a brown felt-tip pen.
- Red pencil or felt-tip pen for coloring the character’s torso, arms and legs.
- Apply an additional layer to the legs and lower body. Smesharik is ready! You can put it in a frame.
There are many ways to draw a hedgehog, and you can use a wide variety of materials - paints, pencils and felt-tip pens, and also choose a technique that is appropriate for any age, both for preschool children, schoolchildren, and adults.
Add color to your work
Take colored pencils.
- A light brown pencil is perfect for adding color to the face and paws.
- A gray pencil will be used for coloring the needles, and a blue pencil will be used for coloring the eyes.
- You can color your tongue red.
- To give the picture completeness, make a pattern of needles in the form of ticks.
If you wish, you can decorate the hedgehog with a butterfly or leaf, and complete the background.
