If you’re trying to figure out how to draw Mario from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this guide walks you through it in 20 steps. It’s not too complex, but you’ll want to pay attention to proportions, since this version of Mario has more realistic details than the original game version. The pose is active – one arm raised, a fist clenched, one knee up, the other foot planted for support. The sketch focuses on his full body in motion.
What to Focus on When Drawing Movie Mario
- Round face with mustache and expressive eyes
- Red hat with the “M” symbol
- Detailed overalls with front pocket and visible stitching
- Laced shoes with grip details on the soles
- White gloves with seams
- Pose with one hand raised and one knee lifted mid-jump
- Collared red shirt under the overalls
If you’re in the mood to draw more characters after Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, or Bowser are natural next picks.
The Breakdown of This Drawing Guide
To help you stay on track, I used a color-coded method throughout the guide:
- Red Color: shows what to draw in the current step
- Black Color: shows lines you’ve already completed
- Gray Color: represents the initial sketch layout for structure
The most detailed parts of this Mario drawing are the facial features, hands, and shoes. The sole design and shoe laces are worth paying close attention to in the last few steps. Also, keep the motion lines consistent to make the action pose feel more natural.
