Drawing is super fun, especially when we draw our favorite characters! Today, we’re going to learn how to draw Luigi from the Mario games. Get your paper and pencils ready, and let’s start!
Nose: Draw a big letter “C” for Luigi’s nose.
Eyes: At the top of the “C,” draw an oval and color it in. Then, draw another oval for the other eye, a bit lower, and color it too.
Mustache: Draw a curve from under his nose, past his eye. Add a point where the mustache meets the nose, then draw another curve from the nose down and back up.
Mouth: Draw a “U” shape in the middle of the mustache for his mouth, and add a small curve inside for his tongue.
Forehead: Draw a line from his eye upwards for his forehead.
Ear: On the side, draw a backward “C” for his ear, and a smaller “C” inside it.
Hat: Double the forehead’s distance and leave a space for a point. Draw a curve from the ear to this point for the hat’s brim.
Sideburns: Draw a “J” shape for his sideburns, curving it near his eye.
Bill of the Hat: Extend a curve from the sideburn to the forehead.
Top of the Hat: Draw a big upside-down “U” for the hat’s top, with a bump at the top.
Chin and Neck: Draw a small curve for his chin and connect it to the neck, curving down from the ear.
Hair: Add some curves behind the ears for his hair.
Arm: Start with a curve from the neck for his arm, flaring it out.
Glove: Draw a small curve to connect the arm lines, then add the thumb with curves.
Shoe: Draw an oval for the shoe, leaving a gap, then add the shoe’s top and bottom with curves.
Body Shape: Make a big “J” for his body, connecting it to the shoe’s oval.
Suspenders: Draw two lines for suspenders and connect them at the bottom.
Buttons: Add a big circle for one button and an oval for the other.
Other Shoe: Draw two lines from the body for the other shoe, matching the first shoe’s distance.
Arm: Draw the other arm from the body, adding curves for the glove and fingers.
Details: Add any final details to Luigi’s outfit and face.
Coloring: Now, color your drawing with markers or colored pencils to make Luigi come alive!
Great job! You’ve drawn Luigi! Remember, it’s okay if your drawing looks different from others. The most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing. You can even add a cool background to your drawing. Happy drawing!
Character Observation: Take a look at different pictures of Luigi from the Mario games. Notice the shapes and colors used in his design. Can you find other characters that have similar features? Try drawing a simple version of another character using the same steps you learned for Luigi. This will help you see how different characters can be drawn using basic shapes.
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your house or classroom. Look for objects that have the same shapes you used to draw Luigi, like circles, ovals, and curves. Draw these objects on a piece of paper and label them. This will help you see how shapes are used in everyday life and improve your drawing skills.
Create Your Own Character: Use the steps you learned to create your own character. Think about what kind of hat, clothes, and features your character might have. Draw your character using the same basic shapes and steps you used for Luigi. Share your character with a friend or family member and explain how you created it.
