Step into the ghostly realm of the Mushroom Kingdom as we learn how to draw Boo, the bashful ghost from Super Mario. This tutorial will guide you through each step to bring this spooky character to life on paper.

Ghostly Features: Boo’s Key Characteristics

To successfully capture Boo’s essence in your drawing, focus on these features:

• The wide, spooky mouth and long, flickering tongue
• Its round eyes that give it a perpetually surprised look
• The short, stubby arms that add to its ghostly charm

Consider sketching alongside other Super Mario characters like Toad and Blooper, or even Luigi in his ghost-busting role. When drawing, use light pencil strokes to lay down the basic shapes and add depth gradually for a convincing Boo drawing.

Illustrating Boo: A Step-by-Step Approach

Our guide features a series of 7 images, each leading to the next step in the artistic process. The colors in the guide serve specific purposes:

• Grey Color: The base sketch outlining Boo’s ghostly form
• Black Color: Previously drawn lines for guidance
• Red Color: The current drawing step to focus on

Start with the basic sketch, refine your drawing with the details: follow the red color to complete your Boo masterpiece. In the final optional stage, ink your drawing and then gently erase the pencil marks for a clean finish.
