Description

Hey guys! Here's something I've had alot of requests for for a long while. This is a step-by-step for the character rendering style I do in the pages of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Universe every month! I've been meaning to put this together for ages and finally had a window thanks to the production schedule for the Sonic/Mega Man crossover.

I hope this is useful or at least sheds some light on the process for ya'!

Also, I have a PSD of this lone panel with each of these steps separated onto its own layer. If someone can suggest a way to host that and link it here for download, I'd be happy to share that, too.

This was the tutorial that taught me how to shade fast enough for it to feel worth it to shade everything I drew--and it's crazy to look back and see the transition from a coloring style stolen off a Sonic comic book artist to my current style. If I had amnesia and someone told me this is where I learned to shade, I wouldn't believe them.
