    Practice makes perfect. The more you do it, the faster you'll be. If you can't wait that long, then just wear shoes without laces.

    If you want to shade it, it is recommended that you use a sketch pencil. If you just want to draw it, any pencil will do.

Article SummaryX

To draw a classic mustache, sketch two adjacent squares, and draw a dot toward the top and bottom of the center line. Slightly to the right of the top left corner, draw a slanted “S”-shaped curve that attaches to the top dot on the center line, and mirror this line in the right box. Then, place your pencil at the starting point of the “S” line, and draw a curve that touches the left side and bottom of the box before it stops at the bottom dot. Mirror this line on the right side, and then fill in the mustache with color. Remember to erase the boxes to complete the drawing!
