How To Draw Santa Clause
Santa Clause is an iconic figure known the world over. He has been used in countless stories, from children’s books to television shows, and as a result, countless kids have grown up wanting to draw him. So, if you’ve ever wanted to take a crack at Santa Clause, here’s how to do it.
Start off by sketching a circle for Santa’s head. Use a few light lines for Santa’s nose and eyes, and a simple smile. This should be a perfectly round circle that looks like something you would find on a cookie cutter. Then draw two symmetrical circles for Santa’s big, jolly cheeks. Make sure that each circle is slightly larger than the first.
For the body, start with a triangle shape. This will make up the bottom half of Santa’s suit. The next shape should be a wide, squat shape that stands on the first triangle shape. This will make up the top half of the suit. Draw two small rectangles like you would draw a pair of pants, and then draw a rounded triangle shape at the top of that. This will become Santa’s iconic, yawning hat.
Now it’s time to add some details. To give Santa his signature white beard, draw a thick, curved line, slightly wavy, and a few more curves for the individual hairs (the more the better). For the eyes, try a small ‘S’ curve. This efficient and simple technique will add a lot of life to the eyes. Then simply add two little rectangles for Santa’s boots and a curved line for his small belt.
Next up is Santa’s color palette. Paint the main color of Santa’s suit red and his boots black, and add in white for his beard. Little details, such as the yellow buckles and the red edges of Santa’s hat, will add extra depth to the artwork. Bring it all together with a few soft and gentle shades of gray or brown to give Santa a bit of warmth.
Lastly, finish off the drawing with a grand flourish of white and gold stars. Don’t forget the tiny touches, such as a gold bell or a few candy canes! This will add a lot of life and sparkle to the drawing, making it even more magical.
With these steps, you’re now ready to draw Santa Clause! His iconic look and huge smile are sure to fill your world with cheer. Best of luck, and may your Santa drawing be full of joy and wonder!
