Cute! Not bad for a first start (admittedly, this is probably better than what I could do, specially being a side-view drawing). I'd work on the anatomy though, i.e., his chin and his ear look a little weird. Also, Mario's mustache is black, (unless you colored it Brown on purpose, haha). Also, maybe smoothen out some of the sharp lines a bit.

It looks good except for some anatomy and the brown mustache. also... [spoiler][quote]I tryed to draw Mario's head.[/quote] [quote][b]tryed to draw[/b][/quote] [quote][size=150][b]tryed to draw[/b][/size][/quote] [quote][size=200][b]tryed[/b][/size][/quote] It's tried[/spoiler]

[spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/6w4ZCmx.png[/img][/spoiler] In any case, here is the mustache (And eyebrows) addressed. Not sure what to do about the ear... Edit: It's strange, the original sketch didn't look near this odd.. [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/EByuRGc.png[/img][/spoiler] I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Yeah, the original sketch looks much better. I guess you still need to practice redoing your drawings in whatever drawing program you use :) For a first attempt, it still looks pretty good, though. Keep it up, you'll improve soon enough!

The one done on the computer looks kind of lumpy, if you know what I mean. The original sketch looks much better, I think. I suck at redoing my drawings on a computer program, so I just keep them hand drawn and sometimes outline and color them on paper then scan them in, but most people prefer drawings done on computer programs because they look cleaner. Also, for the ear, Mario's ear is very simple. It's usually an up-side-down egg shape, but depending on the game it can sometimes just be a semicircle with the top just slightly wider than the bottom (that's usually for the more cartoony artworks of Mario). Your Mario's ear has the bottom wider than the top, which makes it look up-side-down. I think you did the ear well in the pencil sketch. How are you getting this onto a computer program? Are you tracing over the pencil lines with a brush tool on a program (I don't really know how the transferring process works too well since I rarely do it)? If so, you might just want to go over the ear more carefully and some other parts you don't like and then replace the old ear with the new one.

I'm trying to trace over the photo of the base sketch using the Path Tool in GIMP, what I have learned so far is that it has the potential to make some rather smooth lines, and overall make the drawing look better...well, assuming I can use it properly, proper use of the path tool is something that I still need to learn, obviously. Thanks for all the advice, I may try some of this.

So, trying again. [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/pS6UrHA.png[/img][/spoiler] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Bc7V6RL.png[/img] I can't shake the feeling that I may have misunderstood the note on the ear.

Much, much better! I really like the colors you choose, and I really like the eyes too! :D I think you should continue, you'd be really good if you keep improving!

Drawing is a lot like learning to play guitar. When you start, eh...maybe not so great, but practice, and learn the fundamentals, and you can start doing some neat things. If you practice more and more, and start doing tougher things, it helps you build that skill. What I'm saying, is keep practicing. As the old cliche dictates: practice makes perfect.

I really like the new one too. The mouth seems a little off to me, but that's probably just me... lol Hope you keep this up!

So, I decided to change the thread's title. [img]http://i.imgur.com/p6cO0wc.png[/img] Ya know, this is kinda fun. :D

[img]http://i.imgur.com/CKzrh5u.png[/img] This project is not forgotten....neglected yes...but not forgotten...

Nice job! Something about the hand behind his head seems a little off though. It almost seems like there isn't enough of an indication that the hand is indeed behind him. Perhaps adjusting the shading on that arm could fix it. Other than that, it looks good!

Looks much better!

I COMPLETELY botched this one, It was supposed to be a psychotic princess peach like you would find in a Sonic.EXE type of creepypasta.. ...It looks more like M Bison in drag. [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/VpxJngP.png[/img][/spoiler] So, yeah, feel free to laugh at it. :p
