Just found this whilst rifling through my art folder!

I had a personal challenge a few weeks ago to draw some characters the way I would if someone called me up to draw them on a whiteboard.

I couldn’t use any colours other than the ones you’d expect to find in a lecture room and I couldn’t use layers or any brushes other than a calligraphy-based one.

Average gaming experience with my brothers.

I love it when franchises just have that one completely unhinged character who’s only there for the vibes.

The final version of this.

I was talking with some mates about games we used to play as kids and I remembered all the silly little scribbles I used to draw of my favourite critters.

Then I also remembered I am an artist now and can actually draw them and no one can stop me.

“The light shines, even when the star is gone.”

Another one inspired by Derek Dominic Dsouza! Have a look at the tutorial here.

The idea that the original creator picked up a hedgehog and went ‘this spikey ball would do damage at speed’ is hilarious to me.

Also, watched the third movie the other day and I love that they actually made Shadow a bit scary. He always scared me as a little kid watching over my brother’s shoulder.

Might have to watch it again some time, because I was the only person in the cinema and the sound literally rattled the chairs around me, so I think I only got about 60% of it…

Edit: Guess who’s learning how to post long comics on Tumblr the hard way, hence the white gaps in exchange for readable resolution on a mobile 😔

AYYYYEEE, I think I’m finally happy with him.

Never going to be Sega-comic standards (which are a thing, as I’ve recently discovered), but I think I’m happy with saying that I can draw the blue cartoon hedgehog.

Dunno what I’m going to do with this new ability, but it’s there now.

(Also I remembered the old Sonic Underground cartoon and wanted to draw his siblings. If I’m the middle(ish) child, then he can be too.)

Was searching for references and found whatever the heck this thing is.

Seriously, I blinked for like a decade and my favourite childhood games became the freaking Alien movies.
