As adorable as these creatures are, learning how to draw a hedgehog with all it spiky details, is easier said than done. This tutorial shows students how to simplify them into pointy shapes that all lie in the same direction. It takes a little bit of focus to make sure they are similar in size, and point in the same direction, but that’s what drawing practice is all about. Add a heart under this hedgehog’s arms and you have the makings of really cute Valentine’s Day card!
Getting Started with Drawing Guides
The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing lesson is to show them how to use guides as a reference point.
You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this site have a dashed line running through the center of each step, in both horizontal and vertical directions. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow.
Drawing skills are all about getting the size and placement of lines on paper, so having some visual reference point to get started, will always help anyone learn how to be a little more accurate.
