Starting everything off, this week’s theme will be Sonic the Hedgehog since I just completed a set of sample pages for Archie Comics. Sonic also happens to be my favorite videogame character as back in the 16-bit wars, although I wasn’t aware of the war, I only owned a Sega Genesis and my first and favorite game was Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
I had an idea of how I wanted these Sketch A Day drawings to look and I think I’m on the right track. No doubt they will be much cooler as I continue on. I’ve drawn Sonic just standing there and without his smirk, which you just dont see that often. I’ll come back to him in the future and draw him doing more exciting things. One thing for sure I’m interested in is drawing him running in his modern design but with the idea of how his legs used to look in the first four genesis games, like a loop. But not as direct as just drawing his new design on top of a red loop. Dimps accomplished the look I have in mind for his animation in the Sonic Advance games. And in Smash Brothers X or Brawl, depending on how cool you think either title is, he has a taunt that I’m certain was designed with the same idea. Which, I’m pretty sure, makes it the first and only 3D Sonic to date mixing his old running style with his new running style.
If your lost I’m sure it’ll be perfectly clear when I do this sketch in the future. Maybe I’ll put up some screenshots and have a whole discussion about the ideas of Sonic the Hedgehog running.
that is so cool
