Ah, Knuckles. One of my old favourites. :3 I always play him in all the games.
Again, well done. :3 Love the cartoony style, and how you've interpreted him as a human. (It's better than some idea I've seen...making him over-sweet and stuff like that. XD)
The anatomy is actually quite nicely done. Has a very satisfying knack to it. :3
With Photoshop (I don't actually use the program, but I know how it works) did you use several layers? Because it is indefinately easier if you use layers for colouring, rather than just one layer. The topmost layer should be your lines (with the settings set to 'Multiply', which just basically means that that layer will have its darker values multiply whatever is underneath), the second colours, and the third a white background (without it, your line layer won't work...at least...as far as I know.)
With outlines, when converting directly from pencil sketch to outlines, you have to make sure that your line art is incredibly neat and you don't have too many smudges all over the place (light ones are ok). Then you need to fiddle with the contrast and gamma levels until the black stands out on white (without being pixelly). I believe that can be found in 'page>transform' or 'colour' or something like that, I forget which sub-menu.
(Sorry if I'm re-iterating what you already know. XD)

Thanks for the comment on Knuckles! I really love how he came out.
And thanks for the tips on Photoshop. I colored him on a single layer and did not even think of using layers. I will definitely try exploring the layering/coloring concept. That's a real help!

You are welcome. ^^
Layers are a little to get used to at first, but you'll learn pretty quickly, I'm sure. They become very useful. :3

I love the way you drew him. :3 He looks a little more like himself than other human versions I've seen, in my opinion. Also love the shading. ^^
Wonderful job!

You're welcome! It's awesome! I'm not sure it would work so well for another character (I can't imagine it, I guess. XD) but for knux, love it. :3
