A hedgehog standing in a Santa hat, a candy cane held up in one paw, covered head to foot in spines drawn one at a time. This hedgehog drawing rewards the child who likes to slowly fill something enormous: two browns alternating across the spines give the coat depth. Send the result to the grandparents. The smiling star has far fewer lines.

A Christmas hedgehog covered in spines, a candy cane in one paw.
Christmas Hedgehog: how to draw it step by step
Here is christmas hedgehog in 8 steps.
Draw the face first: the pointed snout, the nose and the two eyes.
Add the small ears and the Santa hat sitting between them.
Outline the body as a wide teardrop around the face.
Draw the pale belly panel inside that outline.
Work the spines in rows from the head backwards, all leaning the same way.
Keep the rows overlapping so no gaps show through.
Raise one front paw holding the candy cane and leave the other open.
Finish with the feet and the stripes on the cane.
What you need
Paper, a pencil and an eraser.
