About This Article
To draw Mario, start by drawing an oval and a circle underneath it for his head and body. Then, draw 4 rectangles coming off of the circle to outline Mario's arms and legs, and add ovals at the end of each one for his hands and feet. Next, draw Mario's face, including his mustache, and add his hat to the top of his head. Finally, draw Mario's clothes before erasing any unnecessary lines and coloring in your drawing.
