2 Step-by-step Instructions for a Sonic The Hedgehog Begin by drawing a circle. Draw the spikes on the back of Sonic's head. Do this by drawing six curved lines, one long and then one short. Allow the lines to connect in sharp points. Draw a smaller oval overlapping the bottom of the head. Erase the guide lines from the oval.

3 Draw Sonic's ears, using two curved lines for each. Allow the lines to meet in sharp points, forming a triangular shape. Draw a small triangle within the near ear. Draw two curved, parallel lines extending outwards from the body. Draw another curved line, doubling back on itself, overlapping the body. Erase guide lines from the head and arm. Draw the legs extending downwards from the body, using two curved lines for each.

4 Erase the guide lines from the body. Draw an oval just beyond the end of each arm. Add two more spikes behind Sonic. Draw the rest of the hand between the arm and each oval. The left hand will consist of two curved lines forming enclosed shapes. Note the "thumbs up" of the left hand. The right hand consists of a small oval overlapping the larger oval, and a curved line enclosing a partial oval shape. Erase the guide lines from the hands.

5 Draw the fingers using a series of connected, curved lines within the large ovals of the hands. Erase the guide lines from around the fingers. Draw socks at the bottoms of the legs. Begin by connecting the leg lines using a curved line. Then, use a series of three curved lines of various sizes to enclose the shape of the socks. Extend a short, curved line downwards from the sock. Then, draw a long, curved line from the other side of the sock to the short line. Draw two more curved lines across the shoe.

6 Use two curved lines to form the left shoe, meeting in a point. Draw two more curved lines across the shoe. Using a curved line, enclose an oval shape across the torso. Draw a curved line beginning at the side of the face, extending to the shoulder. Using curved lines, draw two partial ovals above the previous curved line. Connect the partial ovals using a curved line. Draw and shade a small oval within each of the partial ovals. Draw a curved line above each eye. Draw and shade another oval to form the nose. Draw a curved line to form the mouth, with a smaller curved line at its upper end. Draw two short, curved lines meeting in a point to form the tail. Complete your Sonic drawing by erasing a small oval shaped area inside each eye and nose.
