How to Draw Santa Claus - Step-by-Step Master Classes on Drawing with Your Own Hands

With felt-tip pens

Crayons are the best choice for drawing with your child. They are bright, don't get dirty, and are easy to open and close. Prepare a simple scrapbook and get to work.

1. Determine the center of the sheet and draw two circles in the middle at the same distance from each other. This is the basis of the future picture.
2. Lower and draw a smaller circle. Imagine that this is the nose of Santa Claus.
3. Near the nose depict the mustache - there are several options: you can make them in the form of "petals" or you can just shuffle in any order.
4. Above the eyes trace a curved arc, which will then be the hat of Santa Claus. From the arc make a rounded oval, and on top of the oval depict the semicircle. Cap is almost ready, the only thing left to add a pompon.
5. From the mustache, draw a face line to the hat, and then, from below, draw a wide semicircle. You can make it uneven to give the beard texture.

Now you can start painting the New Year's Eve wizard. Choose a flesh-colored felt-tip pen for the face. Leave the mustache, beard, and brim of the pompom hat white. The hat itself is traditionally red, and the eyes can be made blue or blue.

Santa Claus and the Christmas Tree

The next lesson on creating cards with Santa Claus for the New Year is as easy as the previous one.

On a plain sheet of paper, draw a circle with a pencil, the head of Santa Claus. From the circle downwards, draw two curved lines and connect them with a straight line, trying to make the resulting figure resemble a fur coat. Divide it into two halves, bottom hem make the edging.

Now you can start drawing the hands. They may join at the tummy, or in one hand may be clasped staff. You can also come up with an option with a bag of gifts. Place it behind the back of Santa Claus or at his feet.

With a simple triangle with soft edges, draw a beard, mark the mustache. Add details on the face, hair, gloves, boots.

To quickly draw a Christmas tree, first sketch it schematically with a pencil. Draw a straight vertical line, and from it in different directions straight lines, the length of which decreases from the bottom to the top. Draw zigzag strips around the resulting lines.

Color the picture with colored pencils. The tree can be painted in different shades of green, a hat and a Santa Claus coat in red. Add decorations to the hem and gloves. You can use sequins or rhinestones for the card if you want to send a card to a relative in an envelope, for example.

Using paints

You will need the following items to draw with paints:

• Watercolors.
• Cardboard (white or blue)
• Palette
• Jar of water
• Brushes

An unusual variation is a drawing on a blue surface. Mix the white color on the palette and draw a semicircle, this will be the future beard. Inside the beige color, draw a face so that it is about half the size of the beard.

Thoroughly rinse the brush and take the red color. Image the hat, coat, sleeves. To tone them down, you can mix a little red and black and draw sharp, sharp lines down and along the coat. That way you can give texture to the pattern and make it more expressive.

Again, take the white color. Add edging on the hat, coat, and sleeves. Using black paint, you can draw Santa Claus with boots, a belt with a buckle. The same brush on the face you need to add eyes, nose, mouth. If there is time and desire, draw the eyes additionally blue or blue, and the mouth - red or pink.

Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden

No Santa Claus is without his faithful assistant - the Snow Maiden. This card is suitable for girls, because drawing the details for a beautiful Snow Maiden requires painstaking and imaginative work.

Take a clean white sheet and pencil. Sketch in what part of the sheet will be located Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Choose a way to draw the main characters from the previous lessons. Draw a scheme for creating Santa Claus, and then start drawing the Snow Maiden.

1. Draw the face with a pencil - make it not round, but slightly oblong.
2. Think about what elements of clothing should be added: a hat, kokoshnik, mittens, a fur coat.
3. The coat can be an example with Santa Claus, or you can spend more time and reproduce the figure of "an hourglass" to have a beautiful snow maiden with a waist.
4. Draw hands arched, gloves, add a thumb.
5. Around the edges of the coat, hat (if you choose to depict a hat), sleeves and gloves draw the trim of their fur.
6. Don't forget the boots on the feet.

When the basis of the drawing is ready, proceed to coloring. The Snow Maiden's coat can be blue or blue, and the hat or the headdress can be blue. For a drawing of the Snow Maiden next to Santa Claus, both sequins and stickers will be suitable. You can glue or draw a magical animal next to it. When you have finished, leave the drawing to dry. Such a Christmas card will not only make your family happy, but also the process of creating it will bring fun.
