How to Draw Luigi (Easy Step by Step)
Luigi is fun to draw because he is built from simple shapes: a big round head, a cap with a curved brim, a chunky letter L and a pair of overalls. The big curly mustache is the part everyone remembers, and it is easy because you just color it in.

How to draw Luigi step by step
How to Draw Luigi · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: Head outline
Draw a big rounded dome for the top of the head, then let the two sides curve down a little wider than they are tall. Finish each side with a small curl inward near the bottom.
Step 3: The cap brim
Across the head, draw a long, thin, curved band shaped like a lens or a smile, for the brim of the cap. Make its pointy ends touch the sides of the head.
Step 4: The cap letter
In the middle of the cap, above the brim, draw a letter L with rounded corners. Draw it as an outline so you can color it in later.
Step 5: Ears, eyes and nose
Draw a half circle on each side of the head for the ears. Add two round dots for eyes and a tiny curved bump between and below them for the nose.
Step 6: The big mustache
Under the nose, draw a big curvy mustache that swoops up over the middle and flicks out at both ends. Color it in solid so it stands out.
Step 7: Shoulders and hands
Start under the chin on each side and draw a big curved line out and down for the shoulder and arm. Finish each arm with a little curled hand. Then draw a short line across the chest with a short straight line hanging down at each end.
Step 8: Straps and buttons
Make the two short lines into straps by drawing a second line beside each one, and add a small circle button at the bottom of each strap. Draw a line across the middle between the straps for the top of the overalls, and add a short slanted line on each side for the sleeve.
Step 9: Legs and shoes
From the bottom of the overalls, draw two straight sides going down, with a small gap in the middle to make two legs. Close each leg with a rounded shoe at the bottom.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing Luigi
- Draw the brim as a long, thin curve that touches both sides of the head, so the cap looks like it sits on top.
- The mustache is the trickiest part. Draw it big and curvy, with the ends flicking out, and then color it in solid.
- Draw the straps first and add the round buttons at the bottom of each strap last, so they sit right on the ends.
