Sonic is arguably one of the best known video game character of all time. He's an indefatigable blue hedgehog with spiky hair. His powers include the ability to run fast and curl into a ball. Awesome! Originally from Japan, the little guy was initially known as Sonikku za Hejjihoggu. But enough of that. If you'd like to learn how to draw him, follow the two methods below.
Steps
-
1Draw a medium-sized circle. This will be Sonic's head. Sketch lightly at this point.
-
2Underneath the head, draw an oval for his torso.
- Now, we can begin adding detail!

3Start with the top circle. Add the spikes that go on top of his head. They are like a saw blade.
-
4Draw 2 upside down v's on the head. These will be the character's ears.
-
5With the ears, add two bigger v's on top to complete the ears.
-
6For the eyes (and part of the muzzle), draw a butterfly shape.
-
7With the butterfly shape, join it to the head. Make sure the butterfly shape is inside the head first!
-
8Move onto the body. Join the head and body by adding a rim outside the oval torso.
-
9Draw the arms like you were drawing a couple of bread sticks. Refer to a Sonic picture for help on this.
-
10For the hands, make the gloves look like doughnuts.
-
11Now its time for the legs. Draw the legs coming out of the body like sticks.
-
12Add detail to the sticks to make them look like his legs.
-
13Do the same doughnuts wrapped round his ankles for the socks.
-
14Draw some triangles for shoes.
-
15Add detail to the shoes. For example, buckles, stripes, etc.
-
16Add detail to rest of the drawing.
-
17Erase extra lines.
-
18Go over lines using a black felt tip marker.
-
19Add color!

Alternate Method
-
1Draw a circle. Then add a spiky shape. This will serve as the outline of Sonic's head. Add vertical and horizontal lines. These will help you later when you draw his face.
-
2Merge the circle and the spiky shape together. Using the guidelines from the previous step, add his eyes, right ear, nose and mouth.
-
3Draw the shape of his body.
-
4Outline his hands and shoes. Make them slightly larger than usual. Have his right hand making a thumbs-up sign.
-
5Add details. For example, add lines for the folds of his gloves and add detail to Sonic's shoes.
-
6Continue adding details. For example, draw his tail and the spikes on his back.
-
7Sketch circles behind Sonic to serve as a background. Start outlining Sonic by using a pen or marker and erasing pencil marks.
-
8Outline the background circles.
-
9Color your artwork. Sonic is usually blue, has green eyes and wears red shoes.
