Sonic Boom

Dated 17/12/2011

So you don't know what a Sonic boom is? Stay still and you'll soon find out...

----------

Been incredibly busy since starting a new postgraduate course at university in October, so apologies for having been so artistically dormant in that time. Thankfully I'm now on my Christmas holidays, so I'm looking to get some new artwork done.

Here's me therefore trying to get the festive season off to a productive start with a picture that has been on my 'to-do list' for some time. I can't actually remember how long ago I started sketching this, but only since finishing my first term at university have I found the time to resume work on it. Thankfully, Sonic's simplistic styling makes him fairly easy to draw (albeit with some minor issues with the anatomy from this perspective) so I was able to get the drawing finished and coloured within 24 hours.

Ironically it was December 2010 when I last drew Sonic, so hopefully one year on there are some improvements. This is however the first time I've drawn him barefoot; something which a number of people have asked me about since last year. I'm still not hugely confident with drawing 5-toed feet, though I think this is one of my best efforts at doing so to date.

No need for too much further blah anyway - with any luck this will be the first of a few pieces over the next couple of weeks before the new term, motivation and January exam revision time permitting!
