Draw Mario
Super Mario Brothers has been a popular video game for decades. Mario is an even more well-known character from video games, cartoons, movies, and comics. Drawing Mario is a simple process that can help you break into drawing cartoon characters or understanding the shapes of limbs and faces. Drawing Mario facing an angle is easier to draw than drawing him standing straight forward.
Instructions
Draw Mario
1. Start with Mario's head. Draw a circle about the size your thumb and forefinger makes when you put your fingertips together, shaping a circle.
2. Add two small ovals/tall semicircles for Mario's eyes, a little above the middle of his head. Make sure the bottom of the oval is flat, so it is an oval on the top but straight across the on the bottom. Draw a smaller oval inside the eyes, with another even smaller oval inside of that to create the iris and the pupils. Then, draw a large oval for the nose, making sure that the top of it meets right below the two eyes.
3. Sketch out Mario's hat. Remember that it goes over his whole forehead and the brim of it is right above his eyes. Then add the eyebrows and mustache. Draw each eyebrow in a crescent shape right below the brim of the hat over each eye. The mustache is parallel to the flat bottom of Mario's eyes, so sketch it directly under the nose but corresponding to the eyes. Upturn the corner of the thick mustache. If desired, add a tuft of hair for a sideburn directly under the side of the hat where an ear might go.
4. Draw a circle that is a little larger than Mario's head. For the limbs, draw each arm and leg at about the same length of the head (including his hat). Make each limb grow a little wider towards the hands and feet for the shoes and gloves. Add a small circle for each hand (you will add fingers later), then add ovals parallel to the ground for feet.
5. Add details to the hat such as a puffy top and defined brim, with the little "M" on the front of the hat for Mario. Add five fingers to each hand and define the shoes to be a little larger at the toes. Add a line dividing the hands and arms at the wrists to define gloves, then add two suspenders from his shoulders to the front of his chest and draw two buttons right where his nipples would be.
6. Color in your Mario character, making his hat red with a little white circle around the "M," his gloves white, his sleeves and shirt red but his suspenders and pants blue. Make the buttons on his chest gold, and his shoes brown. These are the typical colors of Mario's outfit. Use a peach tone to color his face, and then make his eyebrows, mustache and hair black.
7. Look over your Mario to add any last minute details, such as shading or definition, if you desire.
