I rarely draw but here's one I made a few days ago!

Not bad. Though I do think the clash between the painting-esque background and the vector-esque foreground with Mario, the grass and the hills? (bushes?) is a little weird. I kinda wish you drew Mario and his foreground surroundings more like the background and spent a little more time coloring and shading overall. The scribbled fill-in of the cloud is pretty silly.

I do think Mario's feet and the way his eyebrows are situated over the brim of his hat look a little off as well.

The cow and elements of the background definitely strike me as higher quality than Mario, who should be the star of the show. But that may be because I prefer the way you drew them stylistically.
