    Same exact reason why when 5-6 year old me made a Sonic oc I never drew her (don’t worry, though, I draw her now all the time). Sonic characters are stupid difficult to draw. 💀 But it really is trial and error, and, funny enough, the only characters I’m struggling to draw are Sonic and Shadow, so I guess that’s a plus. 😭 But seriously speaking, I remember looking at my Sonic drawings from even just a few years ago, and if you draw anything even slightly off, the entire thing looks off. At least it’s good style practice!
