Sonic the Hedgehog - Sonic Adventure art style recreation attempt
Back in 2019 I wanted to draw Sonic the Hedgehog and make him look like in official artwork from SEGA. Personally I liked the 2D art from the Sonic Adventure series the most, so I settled on that style. The big shoes and gloves were quite a problem when it came to finding a good pose, but I think that this one should be okay.
To get even smoother lines it would have been better to do this as a vector graphic (maybe one day). Overall I probably got quite close to the art style of Sonic Adventure (stuff like gradient highlights are missing, but even in the official art it's not always present).
the final image with the colours, shadows etc.
the line art (after fixing errors like the shoe details in the previous sketch)
an improved sketch, but still some way to go. I also got the symmetry of the shoe details wrong
I did quite a few sketches to find an acceptable pose. this was the sketch, where I was okay with the pose and which I used as the basis for the final image
