    Fun story: In art class, my teacher wanted us to draw something that looked like it was in motion. So since I really liked Sonic I decided to draw Sonic running. I used an image of Sonic running in the Mania opening as a reference and tried to replicate it as closely as possible. It is, to this day probably my best and favourite drawing and I hold it as my magnum opus.

      I did something similar with the japanese SA1 running animation. In that SA1, his legs blur when in motion.

      I've only ever read a single issue of the Sonic comic book but the one I did was full of incredible examples of simulated motion, including a moment where Sonic punches something and his fist is just a streak. I bought the issue for visual references and must have stared at it a hundred times. Good times

    The cool thing about drawing Sonic the hedgehog is that he's actually made out of simplistic shapes so if you were to draw with his classic design or whatever design you like to draw him in his shapes are just simplistic enough for you to draw them

    That way you don’t have to add another layer in order to color over the green for the white glove highlights part. You can just repaint over the green and it will not go over the lines :>

I love the SA arty style It's def my fav!

    That lesson about Clipping makes me feel so much relief about my colouring of future drawings. Thank you SO MUCH for that - my God, I make colouring such a chore for myself. It's great to finally know that there is a better way.
    This tutorial is incredibly organised, informative and easy to follow. If it's something you enjoy, I would definitely recommend that you make more like this - you're very good at it.
    I also just want to express how interesting your process for drawing Sonic is. It's so different to my own, even in small ways (for example: when drawing his muzzle, I start with the part his nose protrudes from).

    I honestly didn't even KNOW some of these tricks existed in the first place! In fact, when it came to doing fades within the highlights, i was straight up just using a blur tool found in Paint Tool Sai, rather than using the trick you showed.

    also heres a good tip for other paper drawers like me: include the highlights still, and when uve finished the main color, get a black pencil and shade to make the shadows, also whatever ur main color is then get a lighter pencil of that color to do the highlights, or even just draw lightly with ur main color

    I draw in paper so when i watch this video for ideas of how to draw sonic it really dosent look like the adventure art style but still looks nice, and sometimes when im bored i just decide to draw a sonic sketch or just a complete drawing and when people see it the freak out of how i draw and it feel a bit awkward just for a simple sketch
