Step 1: Drawing the Head
Start by drawing a circle for Sonic’s head. Then, draw two smaller circles inside the head for the eyes. Add two dots inside the eyes for the pupils. Draw a small triangle for the nose and a curved line for the mouth.
Step 2: Drawing the Body
Next, draw Sonic’s body. Start with a curved line for the back, then draw two lines for the arms and two lines for the legs. Add two circles for Sonic’s hands and two ovals for the feet.
Step 3: Adding Details
Now it’s time to add some details to Sonic. Draw two spikes on top of his head, and three spikes on each side of his head. Add some fur on Sonic’s chest and draw his belly button. Draw two stripes on Sonic’s arms and legs, and add some shoes with a curved line for the front.
Step 4: Inking
Once you’re happy with the sketch, use a black marker to ink over the lines. Start with the head and work your way down to the body. Be careful not to smudge the ink while you’re working.
Step 5: Coloring
Finally, it’s time to color your drawing. Sonic is mostly blue, with some tan on his face, arms, and chest. His shoes are red with white stripes. Use the eraser to remove any pencil marks that are still visible.
