Earlier today, I updated my logo on The Hedgeblog. And then I was going to really get going on my WIP. I am doing a NaNoWriMo inspired write-athon this month, mainly ‘cos I am sick of myself procrastinating, and just want to get the damn thing finished!
So, what do I do? I start browsing Pinterest, and found an irresistible pin showing how to draw a hedgehog in 4 easy steps. HOW could I resist this challenge? Easily, you say. No, not me! I used to draw years ago, and I was curious to see if I can still do it. That’s the ‘almost Aries’ in me. Long story!
Of course, after the hedgehog was drawn, he needed a little house, in which MUST be a bookcase, (because books!!!), and then of course, a little table and crockery in case of visitors…
.
Here is my progress if anyone is interested in my scribblings:
First, sketch a hedgehog…
.

.
Next, some background…
.

.
Now for the fun part – colouring IN!!!

.
Wanna extreme CLOSE UP??
Oh I KNOW you do!! 😉
Here it is then…

Well that’s ALL FOLKS!

Love from Hedgey and I, over at the Hedgehole! x
With apologies to my husband and kids. Who needs dinner anyway? 😉

Your hedgehog is excellent and suits your blogs personality – quirky and fun. Pinterest sounds fascinating, and very useful. I ought to check it out sometime. Now stop procrastinating, Hedgey, and go and get some writing done. (I’m a right one to talk!) 😀
