So...who's Sonic's secret Santa? I'm just more than curious what Blue got for this so call mysterious person. Hmmm....
This is and was originally drawn for Jordon [my lil blue cosplay pupil] that came with his Christmas Card and with his permission I am allow to post it up.
I've used tons of resources for this one piece;
- Sonic channels http://sonic.sega.jp/chara/index.html
- Sonic Art Archive http://sonicresearch.org/art/index2.html
- DA; which most of the tutorials can be found on my Tutorial and brushes folders

- I did the pine leaves by using a photograph that I have taken with my cell phone and the bow was drawn both by the usage of a tablet. What was edit and finalize was Shadow's hands and the present box which instead of the plain 2D I had before, I made it a bit of a 3D so we can see the depth and volume.
and to those who answered my questions about line art on my DA journal, thank you so!

I got a lot of great tips and most of the links are stored in my Firefox bookmarks.
