3. The back of the hedgehog is rounded and convex - it is represented by an arc. Drawing eyes and mouth on the muzzle usually children can be very easy.
4. A little above the eye and slightly shifting in the pencil side, you need to make out the ear of the hedgehog in the form of a semicircle. Then the upper end of the ear line should be extended to the back line, thus outlining the forehead.
5. Smoothly connecting the second end of the ear line with the extreme point of the semicircle of the back, you can very little continue it - it will guide the tail.
6. Dorysovav tail, you should go to the image of the hind legs. This line should close with the boundary of the hedgehog's barbed skin.
7. Continuation of the lower part of the muzzle will be a small cavity - the neck that passes into the front paw. It is necessary to draw the attention of the beginning artist that the front legs of the hedgehogs are much smaller than the rear ones. Then it is necessary to depict the abdomen of the animal by drawing a smooth line connecting the inner parts of both legs.
8. The first row of needles is applied along the back, trying to draw them parallel to each other.
9. And now the artist went to the finish line of the master class "How to draw a hedgehog" - with a pencil he neatly depicts the other needles of his hero's spiny fur coat.
