How to Draw A Cartoon Skunk

This tutorial will help you learn drawing a cartoon skunk easily with only nine steps to follow and reproduce! There is no doubt that skunks are not really appreciated by us, humans. 

Especially if this cute animal needs to go to the bathroom (near or ON us!). Still, let's try to see if you can draw this black and white mammal by following this easy step-by-step tutorial!

Step 1

First, draw a circle to create the head (so far, so good!).

Step 2

Add two circles to illustrate the eyes of your character. Don't hesitate to make them big and round. We are drawing a funny character after all! Next, add two small triangles to form the ears. If you wish, you can also add a rectangle to illustrate the small stripe on top of the head.

Step 3

Time to work on the body! Sketch a rectangle for the body itself. Make it a little bit narrower on top. For the legs, just draw a small circle. Draw them with a small angle like shown on the illustration above. For the feet, two small rectangles will do.

Step 4

The front legs can also be drawn using two small rectangles. The tail is gonna be huge, so just sketch a big rectangle and two small ones to represent the tip of the tail.

Step 5

Work on the outline of the face of your skunk. Draw a pointed jaw and add ears on top of the head. The stripe on top should look more like human hair.

Step 6

Now the body. Make sure the front legs are short and delicate. You can also draw a rectangle on the chest of your character to illustrate the change of colors (from black to white). 

Step 7

Draw a large and round tail. Make sure that the tip is narrow and pointed. You can split the tail in two since one part will be black while the other will be white.

Step 8

Add some details on the face (like the nose, the mouth and the pupils) before moving on to the last step!

Step 9

Now it's time to add colors (or mostly black, in this case!). Don't hesitate to add white lines if needed (like I did for the outline of the head). Otherwise, since this animal is mostly black, some parts might be hard to see! So there you have it! A nice black and white cartoon skunk! I hope you had fun!
