Learn how to draw Mario is seven easy steps and amaze your friends with your cartoon drawing skill
Mario is the best. The Mario games are fantastic to play whatever your console, but he is not easy to draw. Unlike many cartoon, Mario started life as a tiny image, a handful of monochrome pixels animated on a miniature screen. As he has developed he has become more and more detailed as the games console technology has enabled us to see more of what he looks like. This means though, that he is not simply proportioned in a way that can be simplified for drawing as a cartoon.
. . . Don't worry though, because we have worked out exactly how you can learn to draw Mario and put it in this lovely little MicroBook. Two activities in one. Print out the MicroBook, and make it, then use it to learn how to draw Mario, and because the book is so small, you can keep it with you, take it to school or on holiday and draw Mario wherever you want. The MicroBook has detailed written instructions for each stage.
. . .
Remember this useful tip: When drawing cartoons don't outline them in black. try outlining them in a medium grey, or better still, why not try drawing round each shape in a darker version of the colour that you are using to fill that section. That way, the cartoon will look brighter and much more like the real thing.
Our instructions are the easiest to follow, and all dadcando paper Microbook printables and templates are free and available in both A4 and US Letter formats. Just click on the size you want to download. You will need one set of instructions and the printable of the MicroBook you want to make. Make sure that your printer is not automatically resizing the image, the printables are designed to fit the page with no resizing.

Lovely little MicroBooks
|
|
Sitting in the car on those long journeys back wards and forwards from mum’s to dad’s, going on that special weekend or second holiday with their dad, often kids of separated parents do a lot of traveling and have a lot to keep in their heads. So what better than a little pocket sized notebook to write and sketch down all those important thoughts. These fun little origami MicroBooks are a really simple project that anyone can tackle. They’re easy to fold up and really nice to fill in and keep. They’re perfect for kids because they don’t have loads and loads of pages that will never get written in, and they're small enough to fit in a pocket or a small bag. They've got to be the simplest form of origami on the web.
My kids showed me how to make a micro-book in about five minutes, it's so quick and easy.
The instructions and the lovely graphic printables are free to download.
So even if you only have a few minutes to spare, this is a perfect project to do.
There’s a couple of holiday diaries, perfect for keeping happy memories of a lovely time with dad. There are books for doodling, and writing, and even ones packed with interesting facts, enough to keep anyone busy.
There’s a special new MicroBook full of all the best wizard’s spells, charms, hexes and curses, just perfect for all those budding wizard Harry Potter fans. Click here to be magically transported to the spells MicroBook page.
