Skunks are widely distributed over a large area of North America north of Mexico and are especially common in Canada and the United States. They are black with white stripes on both sides of the body and a white stripe on the forehead, and are similar in size to domestic cats.

Skunks rest in holes in the ground during the day and come out at dusk and at night. Their diet consists of small rodents, bird eggs, carrion, insects, wild fruits, nuts, and leaves to name a few.

Did you know that the skunk is actually an animal with no natural predators, and that few animals in nature dare to mess with him, thankfully they don't rule the earth yet.

Why is that? It turns out that skunks can spray their enemies with a foul-smelling liquid. This liquid causes blindness for a short period of time in those hit, and its strong odor can be smelled at a range of about 800 yards.

In today's drawing tutorial, we are going to learn how to draw a skunk. It seems to have met its enemy and is releasing its foul-smelling liquid - the ultimate weapon that no one wants to touch!
