Sketch Journal

Eli and I have been working in a sketch journal for about 3 weeks now.  I wanted to get him interested in drawing, and what better way to do so than with some beloved Mario characters!  We have an entire journal full of them.  He is getting really good at coloring, staying in the lines, and starting to attempt to draw his own.  Eli drew the following pictures:

This is a yellow mushroom toad.

This is a propeller mushroom.

This is a buzzy beetle.

He drew a few of these power ups.

The rest of these drawings are done by me and colored by Eli:

Bowser.

Paper Mario Pixis

This was a collaboration.  I started drawing his head, got busy, so Eli finished his body, arms, shoes and cane. He also wrote Toadsworth's name.  It's pretty awesome!!

This is Wario.  Kind of a weird guy.  He was difficult to draw, a lot of details. Eli didn't color him "he's got too much detail" he told me.

Piranha Plant with brick wall.

Princess Daisy

Fracktail.  He's a boss in Super Paper Mario.

This is Waluigi.  He is kind of a weird dude too.

We drew this Queen today.  Eli colored her by himself.

We have a lot more drawings of course.  These are just some of our favorites.
