The Sonic reference station

Woops so I was doing a small one, and it turned into a long one haha… hope this is cool

i’m still learning myself, honestly! their muzzles and eyes actually give me the most issues. but here’s a breakdown of what i do?? hope this sorda helps lol

Ha!! I can finally put this here!!

SONIC MANIA ADVENTURES - CHARACTERS

Artwork of Amy’s model sheet design from @AbelMunizJr’s scans of the ‘Sonic Adventure’ style guide.

This is how I usually do it??? I’m sorry if it isnt detailed enough, im not the best at tutorials afhdskjlfsd

I’ve never seen this concept art for Sonic before.

Currently converting Sonic X model sheets/concept art I downloaded into a more manageable file format(for my own personal use). But I thought I share these ones of Cosmo and Chris.

hi! i’m doing fine thanks! well.. i woudn’t dare to say which one is correct since it’s each’s one style,

but if we want to do it the SEGA style we’d have to look at the official art

on official art, Rouge’s body is shaped like a peanut, and her legs are endeed noodles, its a way to do it of course, its very simple too

now, Rouge on 3D model, she hasn’t exactly thin noodles, she has thighs

so i’d just say the one wich is easier to do or the way you like the most is the correct way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

well when i draw Amy’s quills, i usually start with the one that’s on her hceek, (number 1) because is next to her eye, then following the head’s circle i draw the one she has in the back of her head(2), and lastly the middle one (3)

with Silver i start for the forehead’s quills, first the one that’s on his eyebrow and then i proceed with the others ones (from 1 to 5 in order) and after that’s done i draw the last 2 quills; the largers ones on his head (6) they are just like Sonic’s but larger

well i don’t really have much else to explain i guess.. just  that Silver has a sort of mohawk cut between his two larger quills and his forehead quills go down when he’s tired (needs rings)

well i’m not sure how to explain it very well (as always XD) but i’ll say more or less how i draw them(?)

with Shadow i sometimes start with the  last quills; to make space for the ones that are up, and with Sonic’s i draw the upper one first because his quills are just going down..

with Shadow’s i sometimes, (not always) i draw the upper quill a bit shorter than i usually do with Sonic’s to leave some space between the second quill, so we can see Shadow’s hairstyle shape more clearly

and about the large of the quills.. i think its something that depends on the artists sometimes.. its not something constant in canon art either, some draw their quills very large, and some other draw them short.. in my case i just draw them long enough to not make them look like their head is very heavy and more or less to make clear what shape they have in their “hairstyle” XD..

here’s a sort of .. parallel thing.. XD Sonic and Shadow’s quills together..
