Well, Mar 10th was #marioday, so I had to draw & share my quick take on Mario. Luigi is a champ! So, I had to draw him too. And of course, how could I stop there? Her Majesty has arrived! So, here’s Princess Peach herself as well!
Look below see the original tiny sketches, tiny ink drawings, scans, digitally corrected inks, flat digital colors & final colors with textures as well:
Which Nintendo or Mario Bros character is your "go to" character to play as? I often have been known to choose Luigi. Thanks for taking the time to look through these. Have a blessed day!
UPDATE: It's Mario Day 2023, so I decided to do an illustration of their arch nemesis, Bowser (King Koopa!) I figured this was a perfect time to add their big, bad foe! I tried to do a mix of the old school “classic" look & his new design from the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie. (Doesn’t Jack Black sound amazing as Bowser in the trailers?!) Below are the full image & glimpses of the coloring & inking process, as well as the other characters’ portraits.
