he looks like an hourglass, that's terrible patt. Your early ones had far better anatomy

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there may not be one

Also look at my anfry face.

I think I've done better. I'll probably redraw it on paper.

AT LAST
SOMEONE HAS ASKED ME SOMETHING
Well thank you for doing that my good sir I'll now help you so much that when hands are brought up in an art discussion you'll laugh for apparently no reason.
wait what
Well anyway.
First thing, you probably know that you should draw as if you were working with 3D, so you gotta see everything as masses instead of flat shapes that everyone can draw.
With that in mind, I want you to get some cartoony hands done first so you can do more detailed hands later.
Famous Artists Cartoon Course - Lesson 5, Page 7
This will help you in understanding how cartoon hands work.
Page from Preston Blair's book mentioned earlier
With this link I give you a challenge. Or homework, whatever you want to call it.
Copy all the hands drawn in this page.
But I don't mean superficially, you'll never understand it.
I mean, copy with thought, constructing the palm of the hand, then setting up the action and only then, drawing the fingers, again, making sure that they are very solidly drawn.
If you do that correctly you'll be ready to move onto more complicated hands if you want.

These 3 drawn arts are my FC that im going to put in my animation very soon.
Rayler the Hedgehog:
ik he looks like sonic but he has some good skills in combat
Type: Close combat.
His sprite sheet is being made atm. so it might take a while to make all 3 of them.
Mike the Wolf:

A wolf with magical powers. he uses flame spells everytime and flame weapons.he likes to just be a trickster sometimes but get him in the wrong mood, good luck.
Type: close combat and mager
Christina the Hedgehog:

A hedgehog that only cares about her team and her friends. she is very talented with pistols and guns. and she can switch to her combat mode(with a yellow saber) which can be very strong.
Type:Shooter,close combat and alittle bit of being a mager.
Lol... this is my first time drawing them. dun be mean >:c..

Damn dude you have a lot to work on.
But since you just want to do Sonic stuff I'll give some basic tips.
Well it seems to me that you're doing just flat stuff. So yeah. If you didn't see already, go see my post on solid drawing. It's gonna make everything clear.
And then, do an exercise. Start drawing tons and tons of boxes floating, seen from different positions, taking perspective in account.
But don't do it with rulers, do it all freehand.
Once you feel that you are good with boxes, try drawing some shapes on these boxes, again, taking perspective in a account. Let's say for example that you have drawn a circle on one of the faces of the box. Well you have to localize the center of the face that has the circle and then draw it in another postion.
Once you're done with this, move onto spheres. Their outline is just a circle from every postion, but you have to draw their guidelines to make them seem solid looking.
Then do the same thing you did with the box, attach stuff on the sphere.
BUT DON'T FORGET IT'S SHAPE IF YOU ATTACH SOMETHING ON IT!
And then go to cylinders, and move onto combining these shapes, and making others move around in space.
These seem basic once you face them, but they are somewhat hard to master and I find myself doing these basic exercises every morning.
Basic, but necessary.
At first you won't understand why, but you'll see soon.

I have one but mine is bad and small when compared to Wacom's tablets.

I wanted to have at least a Bamboo Fun one but since I am in Brazil I have to deal with absurdly high taxes and so everything is expensive.

I want this blue one so freakin bad
