Did you know? Sonic the Hedgehog was created by Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima, who were inspired by several sources, including classic video games such as Super Mario Bros., and Japanese cartoons like Astro Boy and Pokémon. The team also drew inspiration from real-life animals, particularly hedgehogs, which led to the creation of Sonics iconic character design.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five possible coloring ideas for the image of Sonic:
• 1) Color him in using a single color, making his skin blue and his gloves white.
• 2) Make him look like he is wearing a crown by drawing a gold crown on top of his head.
• 3) Make it appear as though he is looking at something in front of him. You can do this by adding a few lines to make it seem as though Sonics eyes are looking forward.
• 4) Add some shadows around the image so that it looks like Sonic has been standing there for a while.
