How to draw Mario from Super Mario step by step

How to Draw Mario From Super Mario · tinyhandscreate.com

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2: Head and ears

    Draw a big rounded head shape with a tall, domed top. Add a small round bump on each side for the ears.

  3. Step 3: Cap brim

    Draw a curved band across the front of the head, low on the forehead, for the brim of the cap. Make it a flat, wide curve with the ends tucked in at the sides.

  4. Step 4: The M badge

    In the middle of the cap above the brim, draw a small letter M with rounded strokes.

  5. Step 5: Eyes and mouth

    Draw two round dots for the eyes, side by side in the middle of the face. Between them and a little lower, add a tiny curved line for the mouth.

  6. Step 6: Mustache and neck

    Draw a big curly mustache across the middle of the face, like two wavy wings meeting under a small round nose. Under the chin, add two short straight lines going down for the neck, with a short slanted dash out to each side.

  7. Step 7: Arms and gloves

    Draw a long curved line from each side of the neck, sloping down and out to make the arms. Finish each arm with a small round glove at the bottom.

  8. Step 8: The overalls

    Draw a wide rounded shape between the arms, below the chin, for the overalls. Close it with a flat line along the bottom.

  9. Step 9: Straps and buttons

    Draw a straight line across between the two neck lines to join the straps. Add a small round loop for a button at the bottom of each strap.

  10. All done!

    Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing Mario from Super Mario

  • Draw the head shape first and keep it big. The cap, ears, and mustache all fit on it, so a good head makes everything else easier.
  • The mustache is the trickiest part. Sketch two wavy wing shapes that meet under the nose, then fill them in with dark color.
  • Make the two arms and the two straps match. Check that they sit about the same distance from the middle of the body.
