This one is just the character! I had planned on recording more but I honestly thought the background would be more of an afterthought after I got the initial character done - this image was more or less another experiment in style. 

Check the high res post for steps beyond this as well as the high res image itself.

Thanks!

Thanks for this! May i ask if you altered any of the settings for chrome thin brush? (Like stability settings etc?) I’m having a hard time sketching with it. It doesn’t look anything like how you either make lines or start rendering with it. Thanks!

Hi Dave, I would like to ask a question. How much time was spent on this Sonic render? I intend to work with illustration but I feel that I spend too much time on my drawings and I am afraid that this could get in my way. By the way, this is my portfolio if you want to take a look: https://www.artstation.com/felipe_fernandes thanks!

I started this one on Sunday and worked on it for a few nights after work - finished on Thursday night - probably took around 12 hours to finish. Speed is all relative, I draw a lot and made a good amount of comics so my drawing speed naturally increased through lots of repetition, I honestly think the drawing is the most important part of the painting for me personally - so, if you're focused on creating strong drawings before painting I don't see too much wrong with that - speed will come with time!

I haven't changed anything in the brush settings, all of that is whatever it comes with - I have my tablet set on a middling pressure sensitivity, leaning slightly to firm from center on the curve.

Ohh okay yea I may have it less firm so the strokes end up being jaggy or blurry for some reason. Thanks!

your message is a relief for me haha. I think I'm taking adequate time for my drawings then. Thanks for the answer.
