About This Article
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!
