More About Drawing Sonic Characters
First, you can get started with Sonic himself. Draw him normally, or sketch a blocky pixel art version from the original Sega Genesis game.
Then, you can explore all the variations of Sonic. He can become Super Sonic, the robotic Metal Sonic, or the zombie-like Sonic.EXE.
As you draw, pay attention to the details of how these versions of your favorite character resemble and are different from the original.
Don't forget to invite Sonic's friends to join your game. You'll find tutorials for Tails and Shadow below. Combine characters in the same drawing to create an action-packed scene.
To create your Sonic the Hedgehog drawings, all you will need is a pencil and a sheet of paper. You may also want to have an eraser and crayons, markers, or colored pencils handy. Sonic is usually blue with red running shoes, but you may need other colors for his various iterations.
