User blog:ChimmyCharific/Chimmy's Epic Guide To Recoloring Sonic Characters/Part One-Hedgehogs

What a title, am I right? XD

Anyways, a user on Chatango has been asking me, "Chimmy, how do you make your Sonic recolors?" Inspired by this user, (To be named later,) I have decided to make a full fledged guide to this! However, since it is FAR too long for a single blog post, it'll be posted in multiple-Hedgehogs, Echidnas, and Foxes, the 3 main species of animals found in Sonic X. I might also do a lesson on Super Forms. There are also 2 different styles of recoloring, which I will be displaying.

Males
Male Hedgehogs have significant features- Their noses are somewhat banana shaped generally have longer quills than female hedgehogs, and do not usually wear any clothing. For this lesson, my fan character, Merth the Hedgehog, will be the model.

Method 1
This method for recoloring has more steps than method 2, but they are generally a bit less complex.

Pros

 * Is a little easier to customize the color palette
 * Is a bit more simple than Method 2

Cons

 * When you forget lines, the process is undoable
 * Shading is a tad more difficult

Method 2
This method has a little less steps than the first, but they are generally more detailed.

Pros

 * Image looks more canon
 * Background helps add to the skill level of the picture produced

Cons

 * Is a little complex
 * Polygon tool may be too advanced for some

Females
Females have different body proportions than males. Their noses are confined to their muzzles, have generally short quills a lot of the time, though exceptions are abundant in the world of fanfiction. For this lesson, I will be using my fancharacter, Rush the Hedgehog.

Method 1
Do I need to explain again?
