1
Draw light first
Keep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.
2
Bold stripes
The stripes should be thick and go all the way from the top of the head to the cheeks.
3
White eyes
Draw white circles inside the stripes so the eyes stand out.
4
Two colors
Keep the head white and the body grey. This makes the face stripes pop.
5
Go over the final lines
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
6
Add a burrow
Badgers live underground. Draw a round hole in a hill behind your badger.
