Description Moving on from the landscape pencil sketch I did previously at the art class ([link] ), I went on to try and draw another landscape... only this time, combining it with a character drawing.
Having drawn the scenery in pencil, though, I wanted to have a go at it in colour... so I dug out the old coloured pencils to have a try at getting back into practice with the traditional shading - in colour!
Oh, but I forgot to colour the sky...

The scene itself, like the previous landscape, was based on a drawing I worked from. The only major difference is the presence of a foreground cliff with Sonic the Hedgehog overlooking the panorama.
Of course, the blue blur is Copyright © the Sonic Team.

In addition to the pencil colouring, I also tried out the foreground with a brand new fibre-tip pen that I used to ink the outlines.

Thanks very much!
Of course, the landscape was the main point of this drawing. One of my objectives on that art course was to improve my drawing of scenery. Sonic was just added for fun.

wow thats brilliant! it kinda reminds me of screenshots from the 360 Sonic game. I like how u made Sonic look more buff and the background looks brilliant and well-detailed.
Awesome job mate.

Thanks very much, Luke!
I guess I had the artistic freedom with Sonic, to make him slightly more believable in a realistic landscape...

As you might have noticed in TUTTUS, I HATE combining characters with a BG, buuuut as it IS more nice, I tend to add them a lot
you did an awesome job, lookin good with the shadow of sonic and the little harbor at the bottom of the cliff, very clear coloring aswell, awesome

I love the look of this!

Inking the foreground lines makes it seem to stand out, giving it depth. which is really cool!

... I don't know. Is it Sonic's mouth? Or is it something else? He just looks wierd. But throwing that away, I like the boats. ^^

DCLeadboot In reply to Hypothermial-Moron [2007-11-15 09:23:17 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps I made him too long in the body? Other than that, he seems OK to me...
