A hedgehog on a short walk

Use a low rounded body and a pointed muzzle to draw a walking hedgehog. Broad spine tufts suggest its coat without filling the page with tiny marks.

A way into the drawing

Shape the silhouette
Draw a low rounded back and bring the front down into a pointed muzzle. Leave room beneath the body for the short feet.
Place face and feet
Add a small ear, eye, and dark nose. Draw the near feet clearly and let the far feet show only a little behind them.
Suggest the spines
Break the upper outline into broad tufts and add a handful of V-shaped marks inside. Use a small gray accent beneath the muzzle and belly.

A small thing to trySpace the spine marks apart. The jagged outer shape already tells the viewer what the coat feels like.
