Let's draw the eye. To do this you need to draw a small vertical oval in the eye area. (The hedgehog is located on the sheet in profile on the left side).
A solid curved line depicts large spines that stick out over the main oval in all directions. Draw the barbs further. Only now they will be much smaller, reversed downwards and placed on the body of the beast as if continuing the lines of the upper spines.
We remove with the eraser the part of the oval that separates the upper and lower barbs.

The fine details of the drawing

Four small hooks, joined in pairs at the bottom of the large oval, are two pairs of small paws.
We denote the tip of the nose - draw a small circle on the tip of the hedgehog's nose and paint over it. We also complete the eye - we fill in the pupil.
The mouth is shown with two curved short lines: one - smile, the second part of the cheek, adjacent to the smile line.
Now you can finish drawing a small triangle-brow, funny freckles and an apple on needles.

Wash a brush from white color and pick up a little black. This is needed to indicate the body of the animal. We paint the white part with black, but do not touch the muzzle. The body takes on a dark gray color. Let the workpiece dry a little.
Now paint black again and with short strokes in different directions cover the whole back of the hedgehog with thorns.
Immerse the brush in a bright brown or dark orange paint and paint the muzzle of the animal with it.

Painting the details

Black paint the tip of the nose, a round eye and a short line of the mouth. (This should be done with a brush of smaller diameter).
The same brush again work out the needles - now they will be a little thinner.
The figure can be completed with a mushroom, an apple or a leaf on the thorns of the animal. And around it, finish drawing the bushes of low grass.
