Drawing a cute porcupine

Animals
Hi little artist! Today we are going to create a very special animal: a porcupine. Although they look prickly, this little pig on paper is very sweet. Grab your pencil and eraser, and let's get started together!
1
Two circles forming the basis for the body and the head of the porcupine.
Draw a large horizontal oval for the body and a smaller circle for the head.
2
Guide lines connecting the head and the body into one whole.
Connect the head and the body with two curved lines for the neck and draw a small arch for the tail.
3
Small lines under the body for the position of the legs.
Draw short lines under the body where the legs should go and a line for the snout.
4
The legs and the snout now get their first real shape.
Now make the legs thicker and draw a pointed shape for the porcupine's nose.
5
The face of the porcupine with an eye and a round nose.
Draw a small round eye, a little nose, and give the tail more shape.
6
Details such as toes and the first prickly hairs on the back.
Give the legs small toes and start drawing the first quills on the back.
7
The porcupine now gets many sharp quills all over its back.
Now draw long, sharp quills all over the back and don't forget the small claws.
8
A finished drawing of a porcupine in the grass.
Make the lines of your drawing darker, erase the guide lines, and draw some grass under the paws.
