Character Collage- Silver

 hey! It's been awhile, but here I am with some new cool stuff!

Lately I have been doing more art than writing, so here's something fun;

As you may know I like Sonic the hedgehog. Now why would that be? I. Love. Animals. 

So when I started reading the Sonic comics, I started studying the different amazing anthropomorphic characters and artists. Now, I wasn't very at drawing these characters, so I decided to make a study.

I started with one of my favorite characters, Silver The Hedgehog!

(A bit from Volume 2)

Now, for my study I would trace images from different panels onto paper using my light bored making a collage of sorts. I'd give credit to the original artist, who the character was, and bam! Here's my first character Collage:

Pretty cool, huh? Well, What would be the point of this whole study if I didn't try to draw him after all of that?

So, with my collage for reference, I tried to free-hand draw Silver.

ta da!

Okay, Great for my first try. (but I still feel like a sad trombone effect would be fitting here) (bwa, bwa, bwaaaaa)

Here's the thing! there's a lot of things in this drawing I'm proud of. And if I only saw how different it was from a PROFESSIONAL this really would be worthy of a sad trombone sound effect! 

But don't worry, This (Amazing) drawing isn't the end of the road. A couple months ago I got my very own drawing tablet!!! (WOO!!!)

So I decided to do another Silver character collage!

This time I could take screenshots of panels from Sonic Comic E-books, making it a lot easier.

So without further adieu, my Silver Character Collage 2.0!

Somehow even cooler than the first, now in full color!

But again, did I learn anything from this? It was time to try my skills again. 

So taking some of the drawings for reference, I again began to draw. Would it turn out any better than my first try? Let's find out:

Oh ho ho! I would think so! 

I finally had a great looking Silver of my very own.

(Ooooh I really like how it turned out!!!)

In short, Here is a bit of a timeline for ya:
