Just grab the Ellipse tool and draw a perfect circle by holding Control-dragging. Now we have to draw the inner-hedgehog body. Click Center on vertical axis along with Align top edges. With both of the polygons selected, pull up Object > Align and Distribute so we can get these situated.

Since we'll be overlapping these two shapes, let's give our new polygon a Stroke Width: 13px (same color as fill) so it stands out more. We'll be putting these shapes on top of each other later. Step 3įor some added depth, let's duplicate the polygon and give the new one a fill slightly darker than the original. Let's resize this polygon to W: 410px and H: 465px. Then, just draw a polygon (size doesn't matter just yet) with a brown fill.

Grab the Polygon tool and select the Star polygon mode, then set Corners: 15 and Spoke ratio: 0.8. We're going to start with drawing some spikes. We'll also go over some neat concepts such as custom tapered lines, random object scattering, and shape manipulation. In this tutorial, we'll be using basic shapes in Inkscape to create a hedgehog character.
