1
Draw light first
Keep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.
2
Color around the white
When you color the black fur, go slowly around the stripes so they stay white.
3
Big tail
A skunk tail is almost as big as its body. Make it big and bushy.
4
Shiny eyes
Keep a clear white dot in each eye so the eyes stand out on the dark fur.
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 flowers
Draw a few flowers around your skunk to make a sweet garden scene.
