FAQs: Spike Sketching Tips

What’s the ideal technique to draw Spike’s fur top?

When drawing Spike’s fur, start with light, short strokes to capture the fluffiness. As you progress, refine and darken these strokes to show the fur’s texture and directionality.

How do I sketch his indigo collar accurately?

Begin by drawing a simple band around his neck for the collar. Gradually add the silver spikes, ensuring even spacing. The gold tag with the pink heart should hang centrally, giving it a 3D look by adding slight shading.

Any tips for capturing Spike’s expressive face?

Focus on Spike’s eyes – they’re a window to his emotions. Start with oval shapes, and refine them with his unique green color. His eyebrows also add character, so ensure they mirror his emotions.
