Woodland creatures unite! Learn how to draw a cute hedgehog with the help of this easy, step-by-step animal drawing tutorial.

When you think of cute hedgehogs, this Sonic the Hedgehog drawing might come to mind. But today, we're going to learn how to draw a more realistic hedgehog in cartoon style.

Hedgehogs are small mammals with sharp spines called quills on their backs. You can see the separation between the quills and the regular fur in the drawing.

Some people get hedgehogs and porcupines confused because they both have spines, but they are different animals. The biggest difference is that porcupine quills come out in your skin if you get poked, but hedgehog spines do not. Check out this porcupine drawing to compare.
