How to make painting with Mario on canvas. Tutorial for beginners.

Hello everyone. In this article I will show you how to quickly create an acrylic painting on a canvas.

This information would be useful to those who aren't good at drawing, but would like to get acquainted and get a feel for this material.

For this work I chose an image of Mario, because I really like Pixel-Art, and it was my first video game.

Let's begin.

I started by making a vector drawing in Adobe Illustrator, and then printed it out on A4 paper. Then I took the canvas of similar size and transferred the drawing to it. The transfer is simple, you just press the drawing to the canvas and iron it. The hotter the iron, the better, but take care not to burn yourself.

Here is the result. If the resulting drawing on the canvas is not sharp enough, you can fix it with a pencil.

With the preparation over, we can now do the most interesting part the actual painting itself.

I started with the background. Slowly it is finalized.

After the background I worked on the areas that should be red.

An now the details, black and brown.

Now we paint the overalls, and finally the rest.

The main advice is not to hurry and paint carefully. In the end you will have a nice drawing like this, and a good mood! =)

Thank you for reading.

Nice painting @acidsun!
Funny fact about Mario:
When he was created he had no hat, but during gameplay it would happen that his head would expand so the creator put a hat on his head and solved the problem.
