How To Draw A Stocking For Christmas
The holiday season is upon us and now’s the perfect time to draw a creative stocking as a part of your Christmas decorations. Drawing a stocking is a simple task, once you understand the basic steps. With just a few simple strokes and some colorful decorations, you can create a memorable stocking that’ll bring holiday joy to anyone who celebrates!
Gather Your Materials
Pulling together everything you need to draw a stocking is the first step. You’ll need paper, a pencil, a ruler and/or a compass, eraser, colored pencils/markers, and some glitter or festive trims. With all your materials ready to go, you can begin the drawing process.
Sketch the Shape
Use a pencil to draw two overlapping circles for the shape of the stocking. Roughly the same size is fine, but the inner circle should be slightly edited so that it’s slightly more rounded at the toe end. Conveniently, a compass can make drawing circles easier.
Intricate Details
Time to make the stocking look like a stocking. Connect the upper part of the circles with a curved line to make the toe of the stocking. Then, use straight lines to make the heel. Finally, draw the opening of the stocking with a cone-shaped top and a round bottom. Erase any unnecessary lines.
Colorful Decorations
It’s time to make the stocking look festive! Use colored pencils, markers and glitter to draw fun patterns and decorations. To help the colors and decorations pop, use an eraser to erase a few parts of the pencil lines. This gives the stocking an antique feel that’s full of character.
Finishing Touches
No stocking is complete without a special something hanging from the opening. Use a ribbon, string, or other colorful trimmings to finish the stocking and make it extra special. All that’s left to do is hang the stocking on a wall or mantel, and enjoy the bright colors and unique decorations of your very own Christmas stocking.
