Background: Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog is Sega's mascot and one of gaming's most iconic characters, created in 1991 to rival Nintendo's Mario. Known for his supersonic speed, blue spikes, red sneakers, and cocky attitude, Sonic has starred in over 60 games, multiple animated series, and a blockbuster film franchise. His design — blue spiky head, peach-colored face, and distinctive green eyes (added in 1998's Sonic Adventure) — is instantly recognizable. The franchise has sold over 1.5 billion units including mobile downloads.

Design Notes: 12×12 Pixel Composition

This 12×12 grid (110 beads) uses 5 colors: blue for the iconic spiky head and ears, peach for the muzzle, white for the eye whites, green for the irises, and black for the pupils and nose outline. The challenge lies in placing the spikes correctly — they should point backward and upward in a fan pattern to capture Sonic's sense of speed and motion.

FAQ

Is the Sonic pattern hard to make?▼

It's rated medium difficulty due to the spike placement requiring careful attention. The 5-color palette and 12×12 grid are manageable for crafters who have completed a few easy patterns first.

When did Sonic get green eyes?▼

Sonic's iconic green eyes were introduced in 1998's Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast, as part of his modern redesign. Classic Sonic (1991–1998) has black pupils without visible irises.
