How do ya draw Silver? He's my favorite hedgehog ever since I first saw him and it really makes me sad that I can't draw him. The closest I can get is this:

But it's not really that good. 💔

Heya Grimnlucky!! Hope you have a marvelous day!

Really really sorry for the slow reply there for I take too much time just to come up with response/words OTL

Yours a very adorable and precious silver art Ive ever seen, and I wanna cherish the small bean, cos look at he!!! My heart QAQ!!

You're honestly on a very good start there! Art is a journey of self-expression and it takes time and dedication to create on something you love or have passion on! Don't be ashamed/afraid on what you have right now cos when you look back in the future (hehe), you can see how far you have come!

I'm still learning on how to draw Silver and the Mobians in general since I'm still quite new to the franchise. Hence understood the struggles/pain when it comes to drawing certain features and proportions of each character (for me its the five front quills in different angles, so much fixing/tweaking here and here...)

Having official photos of him as references somewhat helps me, until the colors and rendering comes by and oh boi that's a whole other story right there, the armour for Sir Galahad...lighting...absolute nightmare...

So I'm not sure if these helps, but I would recommend checking on Silver's references! Whether it's the 3d models from games such as 006/Sonic Rivals 1 & 2 etc, and/or 2d versions of him (e.g promo arts from Sonic Channels or the comics like Archie/IDW) which would get good ideas as to how he was drawn!

Plus, personal favourite of mine, if really stuck with what to draw for your fav, redrawing screenshots from games, shows or comics can also helps ya with understanding how anatomy, poses and all of the stuffs work!!

I'll leave both of the gallery from the wiki and the head angles that has Silver and couple other characters if you wanna practice on some head turns with Silver!!

Links:

I would also recommend if you have enough storage on your device/s to have an album on your gallery with references for Silver! Or preferably for me, if uses Discord, create a server just for yourself and add a channel just for images, that way you don't have to worry about the actual storage space in your device's gallery!

At the end of the day, we all be sailing the same boat when it comes to art so its nice to have fun and slowly but surely learn and improve when drawing your favorite character!

Live and Learn!!!!

SO YOU GOT THIS GRIMNLUCKY!!! I BELIEVE ON YOUR ART JOURNEY TO DRAW THE FUTURE LAD HIMSELF!!!

FIGHTING!!!

What's really strange is that SEGA doesn't have Sonic show much of his feelings in the games, while they're literally screaming them through loud, blaring rock music.

That do be quite strange when thinking about it!

To be honest aside from Frontiers I do not know much about how Sonic feels during the intense music in other games. So I might need to check out since you got me pretty interested ty!

Hmm if I have to make assumptions...they probably because, if recalling correctly, of the mandates Sega didn't want Sonic to show too many emotions due to reasons i do not know why, especially when he cries. Hence official artists/animators had to find other ways to get Sonic to show emotions without being too obvious (ie Sonic Prime and Sonic Archie Comic)

That and how rushed the productions went for the modern games hence didn't get proper time to polish the emotions Sonic has during the climax or something, for both the models and voice acting

So yeah hopefully in future games when things go well with Sonic Team and Sega, we could see bit more going on with Sonic and his feelings during the songs!

no sage in the chaos sonic beepo family portrait? is she not beepo enough for the beepo family?

Unfortunately didnt appear in the family portrait OTL ... though she is originally gonna appear on the left or the center of the piece alongside with other characters (most notably the small scrapniks next to Belle and Gamma's pink flicky who was meant to be above Omega's head) I was planning to add but couldn't and had to cut out due to irl stuffs and burnouts, so sorry bout that!

She is part of the beepo family for sure!!

Very understandable! Plushies do be nice to carry around, or when travelling for long period of time since it's nice to have a cuddle buddy! Unfortunately, the plush/es Im planning to take tend to irritate my skins due to certain materials being used, but that won't stop from me holding them AJJJDJS

And ye the loose and break what's scared me as well when I brought couple of the small figurines to show to my RL friend and noticed how loose the legs are for Sonic and Shadow when trying to adjust their limbs

Silver is fine, considering how tiny he is, aka not having to worry too much about his loose joints compared to the other two

Actually, question

Considering that I gonna be going back to my homeland aka 🇹🇭 and be staying there for a month, should I bring a STH plush or the small figurines with me?
