- Hey I'm Ross Tran from the YouTube channel "Ross Draw."
You can see my art at "Ross Draws."
- Hi my name is Anthony Jones,
and you can follow me at "Robot Pencil."
- And today we're gonna be drawing...
- (screams) Nintendo!
- Characters from memory
- I mean I grew up with Nintendo.
It's like my first, like, video game series you know.
I think my first game that I played was probably
"Ocarina of Time."
like that's, I remember my dad playing it first
then I started to play it. (laughs)
- Yeah Nintendo was like my first
exposure to video games.
- Yeah, I feel like now everybody just jumps online.
- I'm excited!
- Are you excited?
- I love Nintendo!
I'm a Nintendo fan girl.
- Nice!
- I grew up on Nintendo games,
I still play Nintendo games.
You don't have a Nintendo Switch?
That's totally fine.
I respect your opinion.
- Wow cause...
- You know not everyone can afford one.
- That was about to go real south real soon.
- But Nintendo games are great,
and if you have the excess funds
to purchase one, I highly recommend it.
- I don't have a switch.
- You're different.
I hate you already.
(air whooshing)
- Be sure to stick around to the end of the video
to find out how you can enter for a chance to win
this "Wacom Intuos S Tablet"
courtesy of our friends at Wacom.
- Kevin made me sign it.
- Everyone's gonna sign it.
- But Kevin made me sign it.
- I didn't make you do anything.
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] You guys are drawing
(bell chime) Yoshi!
- (character imitation) Yoshi!
- Are you just gonna do
voices this entire episode?
- (character imitation) ah!
- It's me, Mario! (Italian accent)
- Who's that?
- It's my friend, Yoshi. (Italian accent)
- Oh, that's Pikachu!
- (sighs) just...
- That's a really good one.
- Just draw Jackie.
(laughing)
(bell chime) - [Narrator] Samus!
- Oh, yes! - That's not too bad.
- That's awesome!
Dude it's right up your alley and it's a girl!
- I draw robots.
- We both have something.
- I know the general colors.
We got like red and gold up in there, right?
- Green helmet!
- Is it a green helmet, really?
- I'm pretty sure.
Because I've drawn, hold on, hold on, listen.
I've drawn Samus two times in the past year.
- But what version we're you looking at though.
We're talking about O.G.
(bell chime) - [Narrator] Wario!
(sigh)
- Oh my god (laughs).
We got like the hardest one.
- Okay (laughs).
So, evil Mario.
- Evil Mario (laughs).
- I have a friend named Jackie who loves Yoshi.
It's not me.
I promise, it's not like a joke.
Jackie Files if you're out there, this ones for you.
- Did you ever play any of the "WarioWare" games?
- I love "WarioWare."
Yeah it's so much fun.
No Wario's a really good character.
Him and Walugi.
- Mhm
- I loved them.
But yeah I don't think I've ever drawn them before.
- So Yoshi is a dinasour.
He comes from like a dinosaur egg.
- He comes from Yoshi's Island.
- Dinosaur island.
"Jurassic Park"
(dramatic music) - Welcome to Yoshi's Island
("Jurassic Park" music imitation)
- Samus is one of my favorite characters.
- Really?
- I think it's because she was like one of the very first
like female characters, like that twist at the end.
And this one character
just going through this crazy dungeon
fighting all these aliens
and it comes to find out it's a female protagonist.
Which, is cool!
- My Yoshi is starting to look like a horse.
- What?!
A horse?
- Yeah!
- How? that's impressive
How did you do that?
- Well cause like he's, he has to have like a
dip in his back for Mario to sit on, right?
- He doesn't have to look like a horse.
- Yeah, so, this is a technique that I do to
look at the drawing from another fresh perspective.
I do this a lot in my professional work.
It's just to kinda see
all mistakes that I normally don't see.
It's like looking into a mirror
or a reflection of yourself and seeing
like a different kind of perception.
So, I'm changing my perception a lot
when I flip my canvas to get a fresh take on
what I'm doing.
- Steph, what's your favorite Nintendo game?
- Such a big question!
I love the Zelda series overall,
and I think I always kinda go back and forth
between what my favorites are,
but it almost always lands on "Wind Waker."
I think it's like aesthetically a really gorgeous game.
- It's beautiful
- Yeah!
What is your favorite?
- I love animal crossing (laughs)
- Animal crossing is great.
- You know I'm really good at doing Toad.
- All right gimme some of your Toad.
- (loud screech)
- (laughs) right?
- Give me your best, Wario.
(Wario impersonation)
- How do you think you're doing so far?
- Definitely not on model (laughs)
I feel like it's essence of Wario
more than it is Wario.
- Whispers of Wario
- (laughs) Yeah.
- This isn't too far from what I actually do.
Like I worked on a cinematic called War at Worlds for
"Starcraft" "Legacy of The Void" cinematic.
A lot of the characters there were designed by me.
- Oh cool! - It's Essentially like this!
- Like here's a character design of our game,
but we just want to like level it up a little bit.
- Yeah
- You know or just like modernize it.
And that's kinda like what I'm trying to do
with this Samus character.
I'm trying to make it feel like...
- A redesign!
- Yeah if I could (laughs).
That's what I do.
- I want to make this Yoshi cute,
but he looks dumb and I don't know how to fix it.
- Oh, I have no idea how to fix mine.
- I'm gonna beef it.
I'm gonna beef it on purpose.
- You're gonna what?
- I'm gonna beef it on purpose.
- What does beef it mean, Jackie?
Cause I have a definition of what beef it means.
- You don't know what beef it means?
It just means you made a mistake.
- Right.
Also when I was growing up though,
beef it meant to fart.
- Lets beef it with Kevin's definition.
(fart noise) (laughs) I farted.
- I like Ross a lot because his channel is very popular
his whole energy is just like artist fun.
Artist something that we can do.
For a living I think that really powerful.
And that's why I like this too.
Cause I know there's gonna be some kid out there
watching us draw, watching all the other people draw
and being like, "Wait what? I can do this, make a livin?"
- I feel the bromance.
Thank you.
Thank you for the love.
- He doesn't have ears he's a dinosaur, right?
- Oh, wait, he doesn't have ears?!
- I don't think so.
- I gave him ears.
- I don't think he has ears, bro.
- I'm gonna give him ears.
- No, come on!
- I'm sticking with the ears.
- What kind of ears did you even give him?
- I mean I guess they're kinda cat like.
Oh, Jackie.
This is going wrong.
- Oh, Kevin!
I'm beefin' it.
- Stop saying beefing it.
- It smells so bad.
(laughing)
It smells so bad guys.
I'm beefin'.
(laughing) I'm beefin'.
- I'm starting to question this green helmet stuff now.
- Hold on!
I figured it out.
It's the, this part.
- Oh yeah! - Yeah there you go.
- That I can see.
Yeah, oh now that's definitely.
- You see, you see it now!?
- Does he have bangs?
(laughing)
- I don't know.
- Like Mario kinda has bangs.
- Just a little bit of hair.
I don't know.
I think his hat covers most of it.
- Okay, well, he has bangs now (laughs).
- He has a saddle, right?
- I think he has a shell.
- Oh no, really?
What does Mario sit on?
- The shell part.
I don't think he, why, are you drawing a horse?
- I think I'm drawing a horse, Jackie.
- I think you're thinking of a green horse.
- (laughs) I think I'm thinking of a green horse.
- Have you read the fan theories,
that like all the Mario games are
an elaborate stage play?
- No!
- Yeah there's just kinda this theory that
all the games that you play are just
performances by all the characters.
And so, that's why sometime they're all playing
and being friends and sometimes they're all
arch enemies.
- Aw that's cute
That's wholesome.
- Yeah.
- Wait hold on, what time is it?
- Color dodge!
- It's color dodge time, lets do it!
- I don't have the energy.
(laughing)
- Okay here we go.
- Man I'm like color dodging everywhere right now.
(laughing)
- So sweet, it tastes so good!
The color dodge!
- You're having the time of your life over there.
I'm jealous.
- I'm gonna put some lens flair now.
- This is way better than the other one, I think.
- Steph, how do you think you did?
- I feel like he's a little too Mario.
Like I wasn't able to pull him into the Wario realm.
How did your Wario turn out?
- I think he turned out better
than I thought he was going to.
Yeah, I think he could be grosser.
- How well did you think you did?
- I think I did great.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I don't think that I got the details right.
I'm almost certain, but how 'bout yourself?
- If someone were to pass by this,
"Oh, it's a version of Samus."
- Yes. - For sure, yeah.
- How do you think you did?
- Not correct.
- [Kevin] Me neither.
- I don't, it's not correct.
- We beefed it.
- We beefed it!
It is so smelly in here.
(laughing) there is so much rank air.
- Yeah.
- I'm basically breathing another persons bowls.
- I think we should just switch.
- We got a
Nintendo Switch!
- Okay.
(fast forward screech)
- Wow! - Wow.
- I hate you so much.
You're so good. (laughing)
- Yeah, you made your Samus super round.
- (gasps) Aw - This is so much better.
- No it isn't!
You got his mustache.
You like got him though.
- You like got his being.
- Thank you
- I forgot his ears are pointed
- Dude you got like the nose and the mustache.
Also we like remembered the outfit pretty similar though.
- We did yeah.
- We remembered the pocket.
Which I hope he has.
Watch he's not gonna have it.
- You're definitely a lot closer than me.
- Why did you give him ears?
- It felt right when I was working on the sketch,
and you're right now that its done
we're all geniuses in hindsight, Jackie.
- I don't understand.
- Also you gave him cowboy boots, so.
- Well, does it look as wrong as giving Yoshi
completely new limbs.
- Maybe Yoshi has lots of different shoes.
- Well, he doesn't have cowboy boots, I know that.
- Just give us the drawing - yeah,
just give us the drawing
- Oh! - Oh, gold shoulders.
- Dude you got so much closer than me.
Oh my God!
- The gold shoulders
- It's the green cannon.
- The cannon, yeah, the cannon is a different color.
- I helped you with that green helmet.
This is like copy for copy.
(laughing) You cheated.
There's so much more I think I could have done.
I still had a lot of fun.
I think I'm inspired by looking at this.
I'm like Damn I'm inspired by my friend.
(laughing) That's amazing.
- Here's why I gave him ears.
Because his eyes going up like that
made me think ears.
- Wrong!
- Yeah, it got switched in my brain.
- I will say Kevin,
body is pretty good.
- Really?
I think my body is like the thing
that make him look like a horse.
- What's with those shoes.
- I've never, what? (laughing)
Why did we remember like brown shoes?
We got pretty close to 'em.
- We got something - [Stephanie] Yeah.
- We were Wario adjacent.
- [Stephanie And Kyra] (shouts) No pocket!
- [Stephanie] Ugh mandala effect again!
- Bring out the smash brothers version
I'm sure there's pockets!
- You know what, Nintendo, I love your games
and I love you, and I'll keep playing your games
until I die.
Even after the horrible experience
that we just went through.
I will still pre-order all your games.
- Send me a Switch.
- Send Kevin a Switch
- Send me a Switch
- Send Kevin a Switch - Nintendo.
- All right give away time.
