Hedgehog family on the path

A larger hedgehog leads two smaller companions past a fallen log. Layered quills, fern fronds and scattered leaves give the woodland walk a detailed setting.

How much detail?

The layered quills and surrounding fern leaves contain many small spaces. About the labels.

Try this palette: Fern and bark

Alternate two browns through the quill rows and use lighter green leaves to keep the animals distinct.

A small coloring tip

A fine pencil point suits the smallest quill shapes and fern leaflets; work on one hedgehog at a time.

Give each hedgehog a slightly different face color, then repeat one shared back color.
