How To Draw Sonic: The Fun Way!
I love learning how to draw Sonic so much that I can’t help doodle the little critter any chance I get. Whether I’m on the phone, on a bus, or watching tv, I’ll grab a pen and make doodles of Sonic, Dr. Robotnik, Tails, and the others.
A lot of people would love to know how to draw cartoon characters really well, but they think it’s just too hard or they’re not good enough. I don’t think this is the case, so I want to set the record straight in this article.
If you search online for tips on how to draw cartoon people then sooner or later you will find some of the following advise: -
- You need to develop a good sense of proportions
- You need to devote a lot of time for practicing
- You need to have good imagination
- You should try to perfect your skill of drawing nice lines and curves
- You want to have a good eye for colours and shades
I agree that you need to have all these things to be a good artist, but I disagree that you should focus on them too much. As far as I’m concerned, there is something far more important than all of the above put together. My golden rule of learning how to draw Sonic to perfection is this; HAVE FUN!!
Here are my favourite ways to have fun with drawing cartoons:-
- Draw in a group, club, or in the company of friends.
- Carry my drawings in a portfolio and take them with me to show friends and relatives all the time.
- Draw Sonic to music or while a Sonic DVD is playing in the background. That way you can more easily capture a sense of excitement in the drawing.
- Get some really nice pens and pencils to draw with. (I personally love using magic markers.)
- Share your drawings on forums and on Facebook groups so that you can make friends with other people with the same interest as you.
- Buy a really cool comic and copy your favourite drawings as best you can (one of my favourite past times).
So long as you keep having fun, you are much more likely to carry on drawing for years and years. If you aren’t having much fun then you’ll probably give up, or your drawings won’t look as good because you won’t feel as creative.
Sharing the experience of drawing is the key to perfecting the skill of how to draw Sonic.
