Let’s have some fun and learn how to draw Sonic the Hedgehog! Get your drawing tools ready, and let’s create an amazing picture of Sonic together!
Before we start, make sure you have these materials:
Start by drawing Sonic’s nose at the top center of your paper. Make a small upside-down U shape and color it in to look like a black gumdrop.
Next, draw Sonic’s eyes. Begin with a small line above the nose. Then, make a diagonal line like a check mark on both sides. Add small curves at the ends for eyebrows. Draw short lines from the nose and curve them around to connect back. Finally, add pupils by drawing oval shapes inside the eyes.
For Sonic’s mouth, draw a curve starting near one eye and stopping under the nose, giving him a little smile. Add cheek lines on both sides. Now, outline Sonic’s head by drawing a U shape above the eyebrows, connecting it back down near the chin.
Draw Sonic’s ears by making diagonal lines that curve into upside-down V shapes. Inside each ear, draw a smaller version of the same shape. To give Sonic his cool spikes, start at the ear and draw a tall spike shape that connects to the head. Add more spikes on each side with rounded tops.
Now, let’s draw Sonic’s body. Start with a U shape for his belly, leaving space on both sides for his arms. Draw guide points near the spikes for his arms, then curve lines from the armpits to connect to these points.
Draw Sonic’s arms by connecting curves to the spikes. For his gloves, make a large curve around each wrist and connect it back in. Draw Sonic’s closed fists by sketching a U shape for the thumb and adding knuckles with bumpy lines.
For Sonic’s legs, draw one bent behind his body and the other straight out. Add socks by drawing upside-down U shapes connecting the legs. Then, outline the shoes with curves and add details like stripes and shapes to make them look like running shoes.
Once you have completed the outline of Sonic, it’s time to add color! Use markers, colored pencils, or any coloring tools you have at home to bring your drawing to life.
Great job! You have successfully drawn Sonic the Hedgehog. Take your time to color your artwork, and remember that the most important part is to have fun and practice. We hope you enjoyed this drawing lesson and look forward to seeing your creations!
Observation Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or local park and look for shapes that remind you of Sonic’s features. Can you find something that looks like Sonic’s nose, eyes, or spikes? Draw or take pictures of these objects and share them with your class. Discuss how these shapes can be used in your drawings.
Shape Hunt Game: At home, gather different objects like coins, bottle caps, or leaves. Use these objects to trace shapes on paper. Try to use these shapes to create a new character inspired by Sonic. What features will your character have? Give your character a name and share your drawing with your family or friends.
Color Exploration: Experiment with mixing colors to find the perfect shade for Sonic’s blue fur. Use paints or colored pencils to mix different blues and see what happens when you add a little white or black. Which shade do you like best for Sonic? Try using your favorite shade to color a new drawing of Sonic.
