I know this is not my first artwork I created, but this is definitely the first one where I used the computer (GIMP to be exact) to colorize it instead of using crayons or pencils.

In the Mario Tennis games, I always wondered why Baby Mario was playable, but Baby Luigi left out. Sure, he had a cameo appearance. Playable? No. This also applies to Mario Golf. So I wanted to fill this gap with a drawing of Baby Luigi if he were to be playable in Mario Tennis (which I wish he will, especially in the next Mario Tennis game). BTW, that's not a 1, that's a lower-case L. It is extremely difficult to draw a lower-case L without making it look like a 1 or a capitalized I without resorting to other fonts or cursive. And Baby Mario had a lower-case M on his racket, why can't Baby Luigi have a lower-case L? :P

I know this is not perfect, but this took a lot of effort to make this. Not as much as you'd think, though, since I am proficient at drawing Baby Luigi and can draw a fairly decent picture of him without resorting to using a picture or a figure of him.

Here is my original sketch below:

NOTE: I do NOT take requests. First, it takes me a heck of initiative to sketch something and second, I am not as great as drawing other characters as I am with Baby Luigi.

It's not complex at all, really. All I did was use gradient on selected areas.

@everyone: Thanks for the feedback. I might do more in the future, such as Dry Bowser or another Baby Luigi.

You can't compare my work to your work. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Your work is great in its own, unique right.
 
I really like your artwork as well too. Do you have any plans on creating more? BTW, recoloring is very easy to do on GIMP if you have it. All I did was first, draw the drawing, outline it, then selected areas to use a gradient on. That's it. It's time consuming, yes, but not difficult or complicated.

I am usually preoccupied with other forms of entertainment (video games), but since school started, I have
