Gaijin Goomba

A little drawing of that I did during class a while ago.

So a month or so prior to this drawing, I stumbled across this video that showed Miyamoto drawing Mario.

This style of drawing intrigued me so much that I decided to give it a go. I thought it was an interesting but somewhat difficult challenge. Though I will say that I made his head look a bit less like a Goomba's head and a bit more suggestive unintentionally. I guess that's because I made the torso too tall as well. Aww well, most of this was without a reference after all except when it got to the outfit.

As for the japanese letters, I thought I'd add a bit more seeing that GaijinGoomba's videos mainly cover Japanese traditions and culture. They are the Kanji (or Katakana I can't remember) for Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom. Though I think I should have used Culture and whatever is used in the intros as well. Either way I may edit this later in Photoshop.
