Step 2 Draw two big circles for the body. The very first circle should converge the bottom oval on Santa’s head. The top of it must be at the exact same height as your bottom horizontal face line. Your 2nd circle must be larger than your very first one and intersect it. The top of this circle ought to reach the middle of your first body circle.

  • The top of your 2 circles will be Santa’s chest. Keep it around and make it a little broader than his head.
  • The bottom of your two circles is Santa’s stubborn belly. Make it about one and a half times larger than the circle for the chest.

Step 3 Add the arms and hands. To draw Santa’s arms, you wish to draw 2 fat ovals for each arm. The shoulders need to begin about where the lower oval for Santa’s face and his chest satisfy. His hands are two circles with 3 fat zig-zags for the fingers, and an upside-down “U” shape for the thumbs.

  • He ought to look like a snowman at this moment.
  • It’s okay if the ovals for the arms overlap the circle you drew for the chest. You’ll eventually remove your intersecting lines and make Santa look more three-dimensional.

 Step 4 Draw Santa’s legs. Drawing Santa’s legs is really just like drawing his arms. Draw two shorter, fat ovals for each leg extending below his stomach. Then include two ovals for the feet.

  • Santa is a little leading heavy, meaning that his upper body is bigger than his lower body. Aim to make certain that your ovals aren’t longer than the rest of his body.
  • When drawing the legs, start the leading ovals, the thighs, at a larger point, closer to the outside of Santa’s tummy. Then angle the legs in just a little bit.

Step 1 Begin with the nose. Utilize the middle horizontal line as a guide point to start. The bottom of the nose must be at the exact same level as your middle horizontal line.

  • Draw around circle-like shape for the nose.
    You do not want the circle to connect at the top, so leave it open.

  • Then include the nostrils. On either side of the circular nose, draw a “C” shape. One forward “C” for Santa’s right nostril, and one in reverse “C” for his left nostril.

Step 2 Draw the mustache. Draw 2 “S” shaped lines extending horizontally from the ends of each nostril. Then draw the bottom of the mustache by adding a few zig-zags below your “S” formed curves.
  • To help you keep the mustache even, put a little dot under the nose in the center. Then when you draw the bottom of mustache, draw your zig-zags so the lines satisfy at the dot.

Step 3 Draw Santa’s eyes. Draw two large upside-down “U” shapes on top of the cheeks to form the eyes.

  • If you ‘d rather have your Santa look a little less cartoony, you can draw 2 smaller sized circles above the cheeks for the eyes. These eyes will not be linked to Santa’s cheeks and will provide him a little bit of a more sensible look.
  • Add the pupils to the eyes. Inside the eyes, draw 2 circles. One larger for the white part of the eye, and one smaller one for the students.

Then above your “S” shaped lines, draw two bushy zig-zagging lines for the tops of the eyebrows. Link these lines to your “S” shaped lines to complete the eyebrows.

Follow the beyond the oval shape you drew for Santa’s head. You’ve currently drawn the rough summary of Santa’s beard, so now you just have to define it.

Step 6 How to draw a Santa hat. Start drawing Santa’s hat between his eyebrows. Unlike Santa’s eyebrows and mustache, you wish to draw smaller circle-like lines for the fuzzy white part of the hat. Think about it like drawing little clouds. Then follow your original summary for Santa’s head as you draw the top of his hat.

  • Extend the line you draw for the bottom fuzzy part of the hat external around the head, and have it meet by his ears.
  • As you draw a curved line up to form the top of the hat, you can extend the top of the hat above your original overview for Santa’s visit make it look proportional.
  • On one side of his head, draw a curved line moving inward a bit. And instead of connecting it to the line of the hat from the other side, leave it unconnected.
  • Then bring the other line over and past the other edge of the hat to add the stocking portion of it. Draw a little, puffy ball at the suggestion.

Step 7 Draw the mouth. Draw 2 “U” shapes under Santa’s mustache to provide Santa a big smile.
  • Then to make the mouth and beard look more reasonable, draw 2 zig-zagged lines extending from each idea of the mustache. Don’t link these lines to the outside of Santa’s beard, however. Leave a little space.

  • Now, draw the sides of Santa’s face. Connect the top part of the beard you simply drew, which extended from the mustache, with 2 wavy vertical lines on each side of Santa’s head. Bring these lines up to meet with the bottom of Santa’s hat.

  • If done correctly, Santa’s beard will twist around his face.

Step 2 Sketch in Santa’s clothes. Santa uses a waistcoat that extends to knees, a belt, baggy trousers, boots, and gloves.
  • Start with Santa’s waistcoat. Draw the bottoms of the coat by drawing a curved line on the external side of each of Santa’s legs. The lines need to curve away from his legs until each line reaches the knee. Then draw 2 curved lines back up and connect these lines by the stomach button location. The bottoms of the waistcoat get a white fringe similar to his hat.
  • Include the belt. The belt is a thick rectangle that curves slightly around Santa’s stomach. The bottom of the belt is where the 2 flaps of the waistcoat fulfill around the tummy button.
  • Add a square buckle in the center and two belt loops, one on either side.
