In eight simple steps, you draw a porcupine using basic shapes like circles and ovals. You start with the body and end with the sharp quills on its back.

Stappen

Stap 1

Draw a large horizontal oval for the body and a smaller circle for the head.

Two circles forming the basis for the body and the head of the porcupine.
Stap 2

Connect the head and the body with two curved lines for the neck and draw a small arch for the tail.

Guide lines connecting the head and the body into one whole.
Stap 3

Draw short lines under the body where the legs should go and a line for the snout.

Small lines under the body for the position of the legs.
Stap 4

Now make the legs thicker and draw a pointed shape for the porcupine's nose.

The legs and the snout now get their first real shape.
Stap 5

Draw a small round eye, a little nose, and give the tail more shape.

Stap 6

Give the legs small toes and start drawing the first quills on the back.

Details such as toes and the first prickly hairs on the back.
Stap 7

Now draw long, sharp quills all over the back and don't forget the small claws.

The porcupine now gets many sharp quills all over its back.
Stap 8

Make the lines of your drawing darker, erase the guide lines, and draw some grass under the paws.
