  Become familiar with the basic anatomy of each character - examine the shape of the arms and legs, as well as the shape of the head. Practice drawing these from the front and side perspectives, as well as 3/4 views and up/down views, if you like. Try playing with different perspectives once you're confident enough. Keep practicing, and you'll get it!

  Use Sonic as a base but make the lines slightly more angular. Then add his Inhibitor Rings, Air Shoes, upward quills, chest fluff, etc.
