Many remember the famous in the 90s hero of numerous comics, cartoons and games of the blue hedgehog - Sonic. This anthropomorphic character is able to move at supersonic speeds. By the way, this cartoon character is the official mascot of Sega. To date, the appearance of the famous character has undergone a number of changes: his needles, like shoes, have become much longer and longer. However, such changes did not affect his popularity, on the contrary, he began to attract more attention. In view of which, many children seek to convey the appearance of their favorite character with the help of illustrations. But how to draw Sonic? We can definitely say that a person even without artistic experience is able to convey in the image all the features of a cartoon hero who is struggling with universal evil. So, let's learn how to draw Sonic with a pencil, step by step.
Small introduction
So that inexperienced children do not have big problems with the image of their favorite character, we decided to highlight the question of how to draw a Dream Book in stages. Moreover, thanks to such a narrative, the illustration will take quite a bit of time, on average no more than 15 minutes. As we explain how to draw Sonic X with a pencil, our picture will not be painted. However, this does not mean that you should do the same. If you have a desire to add a color palette to your masterpiece, please depict the hero in blue, with a beige tummy and white gloves.
Make a sketch
Well, let's get started. Stage one involves creating a sketch of the drawing. To do this, draw a large circle (preferably with a compass). This will be the head of our character. Below you need to draw a smaller circle. This will be the body of our hero. Here you should outline the location of the hands. After that, using two straight lines, we depict Sonic's future legs and draw his outstanding sneakers. Please note that the character’s shoes have soft tops and triangular toes. On the upper circle, using auxiliary lines, we outline the boundaries of the muzzle and the location of the eyes of the cartoon hedgehog. It should be noted that at this stage it is necessary to observe the proportions as accurately as possible. When drawing circles, do not depict them too small. And while drawing, do not press too hard on the pencil. Otherwise, subsequently, after removing the excess lines, traces will remain on paper.
Outline marking
Studying the question of how to draw Sonic, special attention should be paid to the moment of marking the contours of our future hero. So, portraying the character’s hands, pay attention to the fact that his left hand is much larger than his right. In view of this, sketching the character’s brushes with circles, draw one more than the other. In addition, the hedgehog boots must be large. Here you can not be afraid to go too far with the scale.
Character head
It's time to accurately portray the face of our character. To make it easier for you to convey the look of Sonic, just copy it from the original. Did you notice that his face is very similar to the world famous cartoon character Mickey Mouse? When drawing the contour of the eyes, try to depict them in the classic version of the carnival mask. Having depicted their arched contour, do not forget to make the pupil in the form of a large vertical line. Now move on to drawing the hero’s nose. It is portrayed similarly to the shape and size of the pupils. Use the help lines to outline Sonic's smile and eyebrows. Then portray pungent, cat-like ears. And do not forget about his outstanding hairstyle, in the form of three flames.
Portray the torso
This stage is considered the most difficult. First, draw the shape of the legs and arms, using parallel lines. They must be drawn on each side of the initial sketch. Then you should draw gloves and the general contour of the shoes. Now you can remove all the extra lines and go to the immediate accurate illustration of the hands. It is better to use the picture of the hero as a model. Pay attention to the lapels of the gloves, they should also be drawn. The final touch is the image of the round tummy of our character, his legs, the drawing of stripes on boots and the image of socks. Remember to also draw thorns on the back of the hero.
Conclusion
The final stage of our work is the removal of all auxiliary lines and a clear drawing of the outline of the hero. If you decide to leave your picture in black and white, then just use a soft pencil to slightly obscure your work. However, as can be seen from the cartoon, everyone’s beloved hero looks much more impressive in bright colors. If desired, the character can create a background by depicting any episode from a game or cartoon. So the study of how to draw Sonic came to an end. Go ahead, you will surely succeed.
