How to Draw Classic Mario Bros or Paper Mario with Easy Step by Step Drawing Tutorial

Step 1

Start drawing Mario by drawing the basic shapes that make up his form…such as a circle for his body, and a circle for his head. These 2 shapes put together make up a number ‘8’ shape.

Step 2

Draw guidelines around the center of Mario’s face … draw the lines around his face as if his head were a ball. Draw the lines around his face both vertically (up and down) and horizontally (left and right).

Step 3

Now start drawing Mario’s nose by drawing a circle shape. Also draw the ear by drawing a letter ‘c’ type shape.

Step 4

Draw an oval shape for each eye (the right oval eye gets cut in half from the nose being in the way). Re-draw the basic shape of Mario’s face with more confident lines.

Step 5

Now draw Mario’s mustache by draw 2 number ‘3’ like shapes (sideways and backwards). Also draw the rim of Mario’s hat by drawing a sideways letter ‘J’ shape.

Step 6

Now draw the mouth under the mustache by drawing a sideways lowercase letter ‘e’. Draw the hair to the right of Mario’s ear by drawing a curvy letter ‘w’. Draw the top of the hat by drawing another sideways letter ‘J’ and another hump above the ear.
