Hedgehog Pencil Drawings
Hedgehog drawings in pencil: a hedgehog face, a hedgehog with an apple on its back, a hedgehog holding a daisy, a hedgehog hugging a strawberry, a tiny hedgehog in a teacup and a hedgehog with an apple on its head among oak leaves. More confident artists can try the hedgehog carrying a mushroom, the hedgehog in autumn leaves, the mother hedgehog with two babies and a realistic hedgehog.
Start with a light outline in an HB pencil: the oval body, the snout and the ear. Then add the spines with a soft pencil in short strokes from the head to the tail.

Questions and answers
What is the easiest hedgehog to draw in pencil?
The hedgehog face, the hedgehog with an apple or the hedgehog in a teacup: they have clean outlines with no shading. Then try the hedgehog with a daisy and the one hugging a strawberry.
How do I shade hedgehog spines with a pencil?
Draw the spines in short strokes going one way, row by row from the face toward the back. Press harder at the base and lighter at the tips. Leave the light face and belly almost unshaded.
How do I draw a realistic hedgehog?
Sketch a long oval body and a pointed nose, then the eye, the ear and the short legs. Build the spines in layers: light long strokes first, then short dark ones between them. Use a soft 2B pencil to darken the lower body and the shadow under the hedgehog.
