Anyone call for some Surge art? B]

Alt styles but sonic characters

Hi! I’m not very good at making tutorials and that Amy picture was my first attempt at classic style, but I’ll try my best to share my process;

First, the sketch;

After that, I made the flats underneath. A more tidy way to do this (and will probably give you a better result) is to lineart the sketch and then use the fill tool to fill in the shapes, but my process is rather messy so I went with this way.

Afterwards, you’re left with this result.

What you do next is, you may either clip layers for shading on to your flats, or you can work on the 1 layer (your flats) by locking the layer transparency. Since this was experimental for me I decided to use clips.

For the majority of this I mostly used a mix between a soft airbrush and a hard airbrush

^ Above there is pretty basic soft shadows, then next we use the flat’s colour to make a soft edge on the outline like so;

For other areas I would make soft shading

And then on a new layer, use a hard brush to give some edges a sharp edge like so.

It’s the same principal repeated for the dark shades/highlights. 

As for a final note, classic style art has some dithering. You’ll want to add it to your drawing like so;

^ You’ll end up with this kind of a result.
