How to Draw Santa Step by Step

How to Draw Santa Step 1
Step 1

I recommend using a pencil to draw this Santa, before going over it with a fine line pen or marker. There are some lines you may have to erase as you go along. Start out by drawing two commas far apart as shown in the example above, then draw a small oval between these marks for the nose.

Step 4

Now draw Santa’s hat as you see in our example.

Step 5

Let’s draw Santa’s beard, it takes five bumpy curves. Draw his tongue under his moustache, followed by two ovals for the outside of the eyes with a small dot inside for the pupils. Then draw fluffy eyebrows.

Step 6

Draw the ears, they are half circles with a line inside as shown. Draw Santa’s round belly, don’t forget the fur trim. Begin to draw his arms as you see in our Step 6 picture.

Step 7

Draw the fur at the end of the arms and down the top. Erase a square shape towards the bottom and draw in the belt buckle.

Step 8

Draw Santa’s mittens. Now draw his legs and the fur that trims them.

Draw in the belt using curved lines around the belly, then draw the boots. If you drew this in pencil first you should now trace over the image with a fine line pen or marker. Then erase all unwanted pencil marks.
