How to draw a skunk
This drawing is based on the photo of striped skunk, a species native to southern Canada, the United States and northern Mexico.
GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.
1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing. 2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape. 3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle. 4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.

STEP 1. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Draw two ovals for the head and body of the skunk. Draw a line, which will act as the center of its head.
STEP 2. Draw shapes for the animal’s body and neck. Add a smooth guideline for its tail.
STEP 3. Use guidelines to define places for the legs and mouth of the skunk.
STEP 4. Sketch the legs, feet and lower jaw of the animal.
STEP 5. Draw the eye, tail, ear, nose and toes of the skunk.
STEP 6. Add the claws and nose. Work on the whole figure, paying special attention to detail.
STEP 7. Contour the skunk, trying to vary the thickness and darkness of the line. Add more detail and add the ground. Erase all guidelines.
