I thought I would put together a series of images showing my stages during my mario painting.
1. I started with my basic idea. I wanted to show mario breaking through the first block from the first mario game. I found the references I needed for this particular image. 2. i started my sketch and I chose a pretty extreme angle. I rarely do this and still am pretty happy with how it turned out! 3. I added the appropriate colours and tried to make it explosive and powerful. 4. I made his eyes glow as if his power level is going up at this moment. Like he just got hit by a superpower. 5. I continue to render it out and outline areas that need to be defined.
