Here's a fan art of Pacman and the Ghosts. Maybe this is a little too simple, but it was an idea I had. I hope I haven't ripped it off from anyone because I have a vague feeling that I may have seen something like this somewhere before.  Next time I'll do something a little more detailed. |

lol That's awesome. Simple isn't an issue when it's executed well, and you did just fine.  |

For this week's fan art, a rather bad drawing of Sonic the Hedgehog.  |

I'd suggest making his arms thinner and more spikes on his back.

You left out his tail. And his head should be rounder. And his eyes should be bigger. And his nose should be thinner. And.... I think that's it.  |

You can't see his tail because it's behind his right hand.
I originally intended this drawing to be a practice drawing, and I was going to redraw it better, but I never got around to it. So, I touched up this drawing a little and posted it. Plus, y'know, I'm not very good, anyway. But that's why I'm trying to practice more.

 First of all, I did not intend to draw Sonic again. But the other thing I was trying to draw for this week wasn't turning out well, so I decided to go ahead and take another crack at him. This is based on Sonic's classic circular running animation. For you critics from last week, his head is rounder, and his tail is visible. I realize he should be leaning forward more, and his legs are of inconsistent lengths. Still, I put more effort into this drawing than the last one, so maybe it'll make up for it a little bit. |

His shoulders look like they're in the wrong place, his spikes should be curved, not straight, and the running blur probably look better if you didn't draw his feet at all.

Dang Frog Man. Whatever happened to "If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all."? |

I think your Sonic is great, Nester. Not perfect, but hey, I've been studying the art style for years, and I still can't get it spot-on. As a practice drawing, you've done a great job! The only omission I think is worth noting - Sonic has buckles on the white straps on his shoes, on the outsides. |

I never took Man-Frog for a professional artist, why haven't we seen your artwork then, Mr. Frog?
That's a sexy pic, Nester.

The key thing about fan art, in my view, is to manage to capture the character's essence, which I think you've done quite well with both of your Sonic sketches. It's clearly Sonic, and you happen to also recreate his attitude in both of them as well. I think the second is a step up from the first, which I safely assume was your goal. Nice work. ^_^

Well, thanks guys!
A couple of notes:
His shoulders are a bit forward because I wanted it to look like he was leaning into the run, but I didn't pull that aspect off very well.
I drew a bunch of feet in various positions because I thought it would be more visually interesting than just a big circle. If you look at it, you can almost pick any two feet, and imagine one being his left and the other his right. If I had drawn the buckles on his shoes, it would've ruined that illusion.

What the hell is everybody attacking me for ? I was only trying to help him! You guys might've seen my artwork by now if I had a scanner. Not all of us have such easy access. |
