Super Mario has always populated its worlds with small enemies that punch above their weight, and Galoomba earns its place among the Super Mario cast as the rounder, stockier cousin of the Goomba. This step-by-step guide walks through how to draw Galoomba across 8 steps, ending on a fully colored result.
A Compact Enemy With More Shape Than You Might Expect
The tutorial covers a three-quarter walking pose with one foot raised, which adds a bit of asymmetry to an otherwise rounded silhouette. All 8 steps are paced to build the basic form first, then layer in the facial details, feet, and final colors. Because the body is so compact, the proportions between the cap, face, and feet need to stay consistent or the whole shape reads off.
Galoomba’s Key Visual Features
- Round brown mushroom-cap shaped body
- Large expressive eyes with angry brows
- Yellow-tan face with two white fangs
- Green stubby feet, one raised forward
- Small rounded form with no visible arms
If you enjoy drawing the enemy side of the Mario roster, Goomba is the obvious next step since the two share similar proportions. Piranha Plant is another enemy-side character worth sketching, and Bowser Jr. rounds out the antagonist side of the franchise nicely.
Reading the Step Colors in This Tutorial
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what changes at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.

Once the drawing is done, drop it in the comments. It’s always worth seeing how different artists handle the color balance between the brown cap and the yellow-tan face. New tutorials go up on Facebook and Telegram as soon as they are published, a new YouTube video based on existing guides goes live every day, and Pinterest stays updated regularly too. If you want to keep practicing the Mario enemy roster, Birdo and Bowser are both solid follow-up challenges. Supporting the project on Patreon also gets you access to hand-drawn coloring pages that are not available anywhere else.
