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.

One of my favourite ways how to draw Sonic is to use my trusty mechanical pencil. Although any sort will do, I think that if you really love drawing, you should also love your pens.

Far and away the best mechanical pencil out there is the “Pentel Graph Gear 1000 0.5″. If treated will care will last for decades and the styling of it is sooo cool – it’s a design classic.

The following video shows a mechanical pencil in action:-

I cannot draw well, so sketching the character myself isn’t a great idea. Any suggestion on how to make a visual dialogue?

Stick figures? Haha. I’m joking. I don’t know sorry.
Or maybe you can act it out if it’s a soliloquy.

But I like the idea for the cartoons. Visual learning is what most people get by so that good job for thinking that as being new to teaching. Most teachers just throw vocabulary at us. :(

Is there any sites other than youtube on how I can get better at drawing my own Cartoons and Cartoon Characters? I would want to be able to make my own Cartoon story one day and I really love to draw ever since I was a kid I always drawn in Elementary School and I wanted to put my drawings into Cartoon Form and I would like to know how I can get better at Drawing because I would like to get my drawing skills up and I really like to draw.

What makes me mad is everytime I try to draw my own Cartoon Character from my mind I make up, I loose focus on it by distractions and I don’t even have a desk in my room to practice drawing in my bedroom because I know practice makes perfect but does anyone know any tips on how I can remember my own Cartoon Characters in my mind that I can draw? And can anyone tell me how I can draw landscapes and buildings? It would be really helpful and I am getting really interested into 2D/Cartoon Animation.

Like I said, I really like to draw and I don’t want to try something that I know I can’t on Game Designing but I would like to try out Cartoons instead and if I like it I will go with it and maybe make my own Cartoon Series if possible, Any help would be nice.

And anyone who has good information will get the best answer.

And if anyone knows any site to know how to animate my Cartoons would be helpful also, Then when I learn about Animation I will work my way up with programs, I think Animation and Drawing Cartoons is really fun.

I am 17 years old and I like to draw and play video games XD.

I saw some books on drawing in Barnes & Noble bookstore in the Japanese Manga section. They were really up high on the end of the shelves. Something like that may be the bouncing point to get your creative juices flowing again.

P.S.–They also sell lap desks.

I need some tips but I told her that I can’t draw without a picture of her.So can you draw without looking at a picture? I know I can’t I can only draw with a picture.

You will need a picture for a start. Simplify the features, accentuate the attractive ones. Perhaps choose a particular cartoon like ‘The Simpson’s’ and draw her like that, that would be quite easy really. Good luck!

the cartoon American Pop used that method of drawing over live actors, and so did the Hobbit cartoon (both from the 70’s) it looks weird and isn’t too commonly done. these days it’s all computers anyways.
