Drawing Hedgehogs, coloring with Pastel sticks and pencils on paper.

A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae, in the Eulipotyphlan family Erinaceidae. There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and in New Zealand by introduction. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas (the extinct genus Amphechinus was once present in North America). Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (family Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years. Like many of the first mammals, they have adapted to a nocturnal way of life.Hedgehogs' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated porcupines, which are rodents, and echidnas, a type of monotreme.

The name hedgehog came into use around the year 1450, derived from the Middle English heyghoge, from heyg, hegge ("hedge"), because it frequents hedgerows, and hoge, hogge ("hog"), from its piglike snout. Other names include urchin, hedgepig and furze-pig. The collective noun for a group of hedgehogs is array.

I discovered this work in the Pencil Club's featured artworks post, and I have to say, of all 7 artworks shown this was by far my favourite. The colours are perfectly balanced and harmonious, and the texture and detail on both the subject and the foreground is absolutely stunning.

You could bring out the hedgehog more by using more contrast, as at first glance I had trouble distinguishing the hedgehog from the leaf behind it, as they are a similar colour. The highlights on the hedgehog's face, eyes and snout could be a bit brighter to bring out the face more in particular.

This is superb!
Colours and details are amazing!
I never used pastel pencils, but when I admire your drawings I feel a sort of attraction toward that kind of medium.
Could you suggest me a book where I can learn the basics of pastel pencils?
Thanks a lot!
Ciao

Thank you! I don't know about specific books but there are good videos about pastel on Youtube. Watching the quality of your drawings, I'll give them a try. Maybe with color pencils first but it's a similar practice.

Art-Ablaze [2017-01-02 14:59:35 +0000 UTC]

You must be one of the most patient people on planet Earth to do each and every single leaf that perfectly. I love all the colours and the shading is phenomenal. Each detail is taken care of and nothing seems to be amiss. I'd probably say that at first glance, the hedgehog is kind of camouflaged by the leaves as it looks part of the scenery, but that just adds to the animal's charm and nature. This is incredible. I wish I could get as good as you someday.

I'm a hegdehog lover, and I'm sad to know that hedgehogs in France are going to disappear around 2025 He is the friend of our gardens but he is still persecuted and killed ;(

This petition will inform the french government of our desire to save the hedgehogs, will help volunteers who heal them to work in better conditions and will create more care centers. If you want to help me and help french hedgehog lovers, you can sign this petition

www.change.org/p/sauvons-les-h…

(If you want a translation of the petition, note me, I will send it to you)

Once the number of signatue reached, the petition will be sent to our Environment Minister, Segolène Royal.

(If this message is considered like an unwanted advertisement, no problem I will remove this part of my comment)
