Cute Santa Claus Drawing

In today’s guided lesson, we are going to discover how to create a cute Santa Claus drawing on paper. The shape and proportion of each of the drawn parts will be observed in each step of the tutorial. Take notice that the blue lines are used to show the current lines being created in each step.

Time Needed: 30 minutes

1. First Draw The Eyes And Nose

   

   First, create two U-shapes facing downwards for the eyes. Next, draw a line curving downwards for the nose. Finally, draw two oval shapes above the eyes to form Santa’s bushy eyebrows.

2. Add The Mustache

   

   Draw two elongated shapes just below the nose to add a mustache. Don’t forget to add a line curving upwards, attached to the mustache to form a mouth.

3. Form The Beard

   

   Outline Santa’s beard by drawing a bumpy line around the face. Add a bumpy line above his head to complete the beard.

4. Draw Santa’s Hat

   

   First, draw an elongated shape above Santa’s head. Then add a triangular shape with a bumpy circle at the end to form the hat.

5. Outline The Body

   

   Form a triangular shape attached to the head to outline the body. Don’t forget to add a curvy line for detail.

6. Attach The Belt

   

   First, draw the belt’s buckle by drawing a rectangle. Add another rectangle inside to complete the buckle. Then, draw four lines attached to the buckle to complete the belt.

7. Add The Arms

   

   Form the curving outline for Santa’s arm. Then, draw oval shapes to create cuffs. Finally, form the shape of mittens to protect Santa’s hands from the cold!

8. Draw The Legs

   

   Draw two columnar shapes attached to the body. Then, form boots similar to the illustration for Santa to wear.

9. Complete The Cute Santa Drawing

   

   Let’s complete our illustration by adding color! First, use a black crayon to fill in the belt and eyes. Next, use a cream color to shade the beard and eyebrows of Santa. Then, use a yellow crayon to color the buckle of Santa’s belt. Use a brown crayon to fill in the boots. Now, use a white crayon to fill in parts of Santa’s hat and jacket along with the cuffs. Finally, use a red crayon to shade the rest of his clothing and a darker shade of red for the mittens.
