Description
Just trying to get this over with... I sat down and drew a step-by-step tutorial for Mario's face, and it took me forever to go and write the instructions / tips next to them. But I did it!The font I'm using is AnimeAce 2.0 by Blambot. I plan to use it in my (NONPROFIT!) webcomics.
Like it says in the tutorial, please leave comments if it was useful, if there's ways I can improve it, or if you wanna see a similar tutorial for another body part / character.

Kenta: Cool! The way you draw Mario is quite similar to how I draw him!
The difference is that I've gotten the hang of making his eyes and nose without the diagrams and put hair under the hat. And with step 12, I do the top of his hat backwards, and as one fluid motion.
I learned how to draw Luigi and Mario through an old 'How to draw Nintendo Characters' book, which came out a little after Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64 and Ocarina of Time came out for the N64.
The way you draw is very interesting! I don't try to use as thick lines as you, but alot of the poses, especially for Mario and Luigi, are really cool! Did you find inspiration for them by listening to music? Or does it just, 'come to you' like most artists?
Either way, keep it up! I'd like to keep watching you!
