How to Draw a Badger

1. Begin by drawing an adorable face. Shade a small oval within a larger oval to form each eye. Contour the eyes with curved lines at the top and bottom.

Then use a series of overlapping curved lines to trace the snout. Enclose a round shape at the tip of the snout to indicate the nose.

2. Draw a long curved line to form the round top of the head. Then, draw a series of short curved lines to form tufts of fur on the cheeks, and connect them to the snout.

Shade a teardrop shape above each eye to indicate the eyebrows.

3. Use two "C" shaped lines to enclose each ear. Then, begin sketching the shoulders and foreleg. Use a series of curved lines to give it a furry appearance.

4. Use overlapping curved lines, some of which meet at points, to complete the foreleg and draw the animal's chest.

Enclose a curved triangle at the tip of each toe to form the claws, which are used for digging.

5. Draw the remaining foreleg using curved lines. Again, draw a curved triangle at the tip of each toe.

6. Use curved lines to draw the tuft of fur at the elbow, the belly, the hip, and the first of the rear legs. Enclose a curved triangular claw at the tip of each toe.

7. Complete the online of the badger. Use long and short curved lines to trace the back, the fluffy tail, and the side of the rear leg.

Notice how the lines connect at jagged points to give the badger a furry appearance.

8. Use overlapping curved lines to draw the final rear leg. Don't forget to add the triangular claws. Then, detail the leg and side with a furry texture using curved lines.

9. Use a series of curved lines to draw an inverted triangle crossing over each eye. Notice how the lines meet at jagged points to give the texture of fur.

These are the badger's iconic stripes. Draw a similar jagged line across the front leg.

Color your smiling cartoon badger. Most badgers are marked with shades of black, white, and grey.
