A gold crown, a waving gloved hand, and that signature yellow-and-orange athletic look make Princess Daisy one of the more visually layered characters in the Super Mario roster to sketch, and this guide on how to draw Princess Daisy captures her sporty outfit variant rather than the classic ballgown. The 18-step walkthrough covers the full colored result, so you get both the line work and the finished palette.
Sporty Royalty: What This Tutorial Builds Toward
This is a full-body standing pose spread across 18 steps, ending with a fully colored result. The outfit here comes from her Mario sports game appearances, which means layered clothing with distinct color zones across the dress, sleeves, and leggings. Managing those color transitions in the final steps takes more attention than a single-color character would. The raised arm adds a slight asymmetry to the pose, so proportions need a little more care on that side than the resting arm.
Daisy’s Athletic Outfit at a Glance
- Brown hair in high ponytail, one loose curl
- Gold crown with colored gems
- Yellow mini dress, orange long-sleeve underneath
- Orange leggings with white stripe, white sneakers
- One hand raised, both hands in white gloves
If you want more of this character, the cat Princess Daisy version offers a different take on her design. For the rest of the court, Princess Peach and Toad are both covered in the Super Mario guides as well.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what came before:
