Drawing Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog

First, I will explain give some tips of drawing Sonic. The reason is not every artist can see unique features of the character right. I have seen people draw Sonic with a triangle nose, 4, 5 and even 8 spikes on his head instead of 6 and such. So...

TIP C. Sonic's body has a shape that may look like an egg. So does his body mark. The body is smaller than Sonic's head and smoothly goes to his legs. Arms grow from the 'edge' of the body. No shoulders and no neck! TIP D. A bit of the bodymark is

TIP E. The shoe is triangle-shaped and is almost as big as Sonic's head. The sole of the shoe is higher when closer to the heel; a stripe in the middle is a strap, not a stripe... So it covers the shoe; a buckle goes over the strap, NOT around it

Remove lines you don't need. Draw hands (i fixed some parts i didn't like) and shoes, without details yet, but you may already draw soles. Add a spike(or spikes, it depends on the angle in which you drew the body) and a tail (mine is almost not see

Draw the spikes on Sonic's head and his eyebrows. The farthest one covers the headline a bit because of the head's angle. Add the mark on the body. When drawn right, it can show in which direction the body is turned. Detail the shoes by adding stra

Draw the face expression, remove all the lines you don't need anymore and you're done!

Here you can see (if you are interested) how I colored my drawing. I also fixed a few remaining mistakes. P.S. I'll give you the last tip: the eyelids can be colored like Sonic's muzzle and arms, as well as blue like his main color.

Description: Hello everyone! Today we will draw our blue hero, Sonic. This may seem hard, but if you get everything about the character right, you can draw him. I tried to explain how to do things to get a good-looking result. You can go another way. I believe your drawing will look great, maybe even better than SEGA's ;D And something else: if you find grammar mistakes here, please comment. My English isn't perfect.
