Everyday Inspiration: Mario Strikers Charged
I love to draw. I have an entire library of sketchbooks and folders full of my drawings, sketches, “scraps”, and doodles…
These days, I don’t often find myself drawing just for the sake of drawing. If I have a sketchbook in my lap and a pencil in my hand, chances are that I’m sketching a logo, illustration or a website mock-up for a client. When I do find spare time, I try to experiment with new styles to sharpen my skills and expand my creative abilities. Usually I need to go looking for inspiration. But on occasion, like the first time I laid eyes on the cover art for Mario Strikers Charged, inspiration finds me.
The cover art for Mario Strikers Charged really caught my attention. I have a tendency to draw realistically, using only pencil, so I have a great appreciation for artists who use lots of color and / or pull off that rough sketch look. It inspired me to dust off my box of oil pastels that I hadn’t used since high school! Check out the entire cast of characters with their new, darker looks:
