How to Draw a Honey Badger
Draw a honey badger in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the head.
Step 1: The head
Near the left of your paper, draw a wide head with a flat top, narrowing to a round chin.
Step 2: Eyes and nose
Draw 2 big eyes, a snout below, a black nose, and a line from it down to a w smile.
Tip The snout sits inside the face, below the eyes, not hanging under the chin.
Step 3: The ears
On each side of the head, near the top, draw a tiny half-circle ear poking out.
Step 4: The body
From behind the head, draw a long bean body: along the back, round a big bottom, under to the chin.
Tip No neck: the low head sits right in front of the shoulders.
Step 5: Two legs
Draw a ground line. Add a front leg under the chest and a back leg under the bottom.
Tip Each leg gets thinner at the ankle and ends in a round paw pointing forward, with 2 toe lines.
Step 6: The far legs
Behind each leg, draw a thinner far leg peeking out, down to a round paw on the ground.
Step 7: The tail
On the top corner of the bottom, draw a short fluffy banana tail pointing out and down.
Step 8: The pale back
Start on the head above the eyes. Draw a line across it, then along the side to the tail.
Tip Everything above the line is the pale cap and back that make it a honey badger.
Step 9: Colour the markings
Colour the pale cap and back cream, and the snout grey.
Step 10: Colour it slate
Go over your lines. Colour the head, ears, body, legs and tail slate, around the cream and grey.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a honey badger, drawn by you.
