How to Draw a Honey Badger
A honey badger is simple to draw because it is built from a round head and a wide, low body close to the ground. Then you add four short, strong legs, a tiny ear and a short tail. The long curve of the pale stripe along its back is what makes it look like a honey badger.

Questions and answers
- How do I make my drawing look like a honey badger?
- Keep the body low and wide and the legs short. Then draw the long curve from the top of the head to the tail, so the pale stripe can be colored lighter than the rest.
- How big should the honey badger's ear be?
- Very small. A tiny round bump on top of the head is enough, because a honey badger's ears are short and hard to see.
