#sonic tutorial

short answer: im a furry

long answer:

Helloo!! Sorry for taking so long to reply but thank you so much!!!!

I finally figured out a way to word/ show how I draw sonic specifically. I might add a few other characters later but I hope this helps a bit!

When I draw, I usually don't really use lines to help me with the anatomy other than specifically the lines helping with the perspective on the torso and head! Other than that I tend to think a lot about shapes when I draw. For example, Sonic's head in an almost perfect circle, while his torso more like a rounded trapezoid shape. His limbs are most of the time cylinder shaped, fingers are more like rounded parallelepiped. As for anatomy, Sonic's head is reaaaally big; his torso is almost as large as his head, and his hands are the same size as his torso and feet/shoes. His legs are about the size of his torso times 2. Arms and legs are about the same size, but I change their size depending on the hand's position so it doesn't look disproportionate!

A few example of me drawing sonic to try and help illustrate what I mean more:

Reminder that this are not rules and the anatomy can be broken to give a more fluid pose! Or you can have your own anatomy too, go crazy!!

I’ve never done a tutorial before so lmk if something is unclear or you wanna know about something else bc I’m gonna focus more on the body for rn

So first I start with some really messy guidelines! (I don’t always follow them exactly but they help)

Then I start with the face, which follows those three circles in the head, and I stop once I complete the circle for the head and do the body. Which I divide into two sections, one circle and one ‘v’ shape thingy so I know where the legs go! (And it helps to establish the curve of the back and the position of the back  quill before or during this time)

Then I do the quills ! I start from the bottom and work my way up ! (They vary in length depending on literally whatever)

Then you just add details ! 

I draw girls the same way except they get three body circles instead of two !

Then I do the face (usually partially) and divide the body into a circle and ‘v’ shape again but the third circle helps me know where the butt is lol 

Then add detail !

BONUS ! I didn’t know if you meant like my oc’s specifically or just sonic characters in general so I gave you a general but if you’re having trouble with the proportions of my characters specifically here’s a height chart! 

And something to remember is that I try to differentiate male hedgehog body types by how big their chest is and how deep the ‘v’ shape is ! Chuck is a lot taller and physically stronger than Jules (and Scourge if you wanna use the average 3′3″, 75lbs for comparison) so his chest is a lot bigger !
