A.K.A. "Guess who found a green pen during his work shift?"

To say the least, it didn't take long for me to realize what I could use said green pen for.

It seems like Yoshi is becoming my go-to character to fall back on whenever I'm struggling to get down anything involving my own character. Personally, I wouldn't mind trying my hand at some other Nintendo characters over time, but don't expect fanart to become the norm on this account; it's fine and I'm obviously not against doing it myself, but my primary focus is still going to be my own characters and lore.

So, anyway... the original idea behind this was inspired by the early Mario Party games; it was supposed to be based off of the "Handcar Havoc" mini-game, but then I realized drawing the handcar itself was not only beyond my expertise, but also the cardboard scraps I draw on are seldom large enough to support that much content.* So I instead opted for an air pump and made it based off of "Balloon Blast" instead, where I found the pose works just as well in that context. Sadly, the canvas I drew this on wasn't large enough to support the pump... I-I guess you could also pretend Yoshi here is pushing a dynamie plunger and is eager to blow something up... those were a thing in the older Mario Party games, right? I haven't played them in many years, so I don't recall.

Despite the picture's simplicity, it took me three tries to get the drawing to even look this good. First two takes suffered from faulty (or rather, faultier) perspective and just weren't up to snuff, but I felt like I was on the right track so I grabbed another cardboard scrap and tried a third time... only to realize too late that this scrap wasn't as long and wasn't able to support the pump. Yep. Don't have a lot else to say about this pic. Pose is a little stiffer than I'd like it to be, legs seem a little on the short side, the perspective is still not 100%, and I think I probably should've made the head shorter and fatter. Still trying to figure out how to draw Yoshi again after all of these years... I'm on the right track, but not there just yet. I'll get it right one of these days.

...

Yoshi is property of Nintendo.

Part of my "Trash Drawing" series, in which I make sketches during the quieter moments of my shift using whatever supplies I can find laying about (said supplies will always be pens and cardboard scraps). Due to the hasty nature of make of these sketches, coupled with the materials used, and the canvas being a literal piece of garbage, I have taken to calling these sketches "Trash Drawings."
