How to draw Santa Claus (step by step)

When depicting a human figure, you should first outline its outlines, and only then draw the details. To make the character look realistic, it is necessary to observe the proportions and structural features of the body. However, the winter magician wears a large fur coat, which simplifies our task.

  1. On the first sketch, we depict clear contours of the robe, hands, head, beard and staff.
  2. We add details: a hat, facial features, a belt, felt boots, mittens, fur coat edging. We correct the lines made in the previous step.
  3. Finishing the black and white version of the drawing. We draw a face and a beard, folds on a fur coat and villi on a border, and also a staff. We make the contours clearer.
  4. We color Grandfather with colored pencils, felt-tip pens or paints. Usually our hero wears a red or blue coat with white fur.

How to draw a Snow Maiden (step by step)

We draw the granddaughter of Santa Claus in the same way. She also wears a long fur coat, so you can not draw a figure, but make a simplified sketch. In our example, the Snow Maiden is a little girl, and the proportions of her body are different from those of an adult.

  1. We draw the contour of the body - a trapezoid, tapering upwards. Add arms, shoulders and neck, head with the outlines of the hat.
  2. Correcting the contours of the fur coat. We draw a line along which the fastener will pass, make the bottom of the figure semicircular. We add a cape, a muff and a headdress, outline the facial features.
  3. We complete the pencil drawing. We detail the face and outfit of the Snow Maiden, draw a braid, highlight the fur on the cape, muff and bottom of the fur coat with shading.
  4. Coloring the drawing. On a blue fur coat we depict snowflakes and patterns, we make hair golden.

Other ways to draw a Snow Maiden

New Year is the time for miracles, magic and gifts. And who are the main characters of this holiday, whom are children and adults waiting for so much? That's right, Santa Claus and his granddaughter - the Snow Maiden. Perhaps the New Year is the most long-awaited holiday in the whole world. This is one of the few celebrations for which they prepare in advance, children learn carols, write letters to Santa Claus, decorate their houses, various garlands shine on the streets and everyone, despite their age, is waiting for gifts under the Christmas trees.

On the eve of the celebration of the New Year, it repeatedly becomes necessary to draw the main characters of this celebration. So let's try to do this together.

Think how pleasantly your children will be surprised when you draw their favorite characters. With our help, you will not only be able to draw Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, but also teach your family how to do it step by step.

In this lesson, we have chosen for you drawings of medium complexity. But if you are new to this business, you should also try it and believe me, you will definitely succeed. To begin with, we advise you to draw a drawing on a draft, and then on a large sheet of paper. What do you need for this? It is enough to have:

  • sheets of paper
  • pencil
  • eraser
  • paints (watercolor, gouache, colored pencils or felt-tip pens)

How to draw Santa Claus step by step?

  • Let's start by drawing the visible part of Santa Claus's face, reminiscent of a diving mask, then you should draw the rest of the face: nose, eyes, eyebrows and mouth. Don't forget about the grandfather's hat.

  • Next, draw Grandfather's beard and mustache. Then add lines to define the length and midpoint of the body. We draw clothes: for this we draw lateral straight lines, then a white border. See how simple it is? It has already become clear who you want to portray.


How to draw a Snow Maiden step by step?

Then we draw the granddaughter of the Snow Maiden. Although you can also try to first draw it separately on a draft, and then together with Grandfather.

  • We start with the oval of the face, then draw the eyes, nose and mouth (always smiling), then draw the hat and draw the shape of the face. We repeat the same steps as with the previous character.

  • We draw ears, earrings, eyebrows. It seemed to us that it would be more interesting if we draw earrings in the form of snowflakes. And also add a snowflake to the hat. Here you can also turn on your imagination and draw decorations of various shapes, for example, small Christmas trees, stars, etc.

  • We draw a collar, then we draw auxiliary side, bottom and middle lines. The sequence of movements is repeated, as with the drawing of Santa Claus. So, it will be much easier for you to draw the Snow Maiden, because your hand and subconscious did not have time to wean and forget the previous drawing.

  • Next, draw a snow-white border and sleeves. The main thing is that they are at the same level, for this it is enough to draw a visually horizontal line, then draw gloves. There is very little left, the final touches and the beautiful Snegurochka is ready.

  • For beauty, we suggest drawing stars on a fur coat (or snowflakes, it will also look interesting). To make it more fun and beautiful, you can make them in various sizes and shapes.


  • Then we paint with paints. As with the previous drawing, we chose blue and red for the clothes, and light beige for the face and rosy cheeks (if desired).

Here you can also turn on your imagination and decorate the drawing in your own way. And in order to make it more fun for you, ask your kids about it, let them color Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden as they see in their imagination, because their imagination is more developed than that of adults. And believe me, the kids will be very happy to participate in such an interesting process.

Well, that's it, our mini master class is over. We hope that your children liked it, and it became much easier for you to draw the main characters of the New Year. If needlework is your hobby, this skill will come in handy for decorating your home, workplace, greeting cards etc.

Video: How to draw a Snow Maiden?

We will need:

  • a sheet of white paper;
  • simple HB pencil;
  • eraser;
  • colored pencils or wax crayons.

Drawing order:

  • On a white sheet we mark out the approximate dimensions of our hero - we mark the bottom and top of Santa Claus. We draw a vertical line - the axis. It is important to leave a little more white space at the bottom so that the drawing looks harmonious on a piece of paper.

  • We draw a hat and outline the wizard's collar. The width of the collar should accommodate two hats. We make a mark in the place where the beard will end. We connect the set points with smooth lines so that the collar is guessed in the outlines. The sketch must be symmetrical, so you need to be oriented about the axis.
  • Let's start drawing the body. Here you can no longer pay attention to symmetry. We draw sleeves with fur trim, shoulders and a fur coat to the point where it will be tied with a belt.

  • We continue to schematically depict the fur coat of Santa Claus. We draw a belt, a hem with fur trim and peeking boots. The sketch should turn out something like the one shown in the photo, but you can also deviate from the lesson, following your imagination.
  • We mark the details of the image with a pencil. In one hand, you can give the wizard a small Christmas tree, and in the other - his staff.

  • We remove the markup and unnecessary lines with the help of an eraser. We carefully draw the details - we make a fluffy fur trim for a fur coat, draw a beard and face of Santa Claus. We pay attention to the Christmas tree and the staff - we decorate them as we wish or as shown in the example.
  • Color the drawing with colored pencils.

Advice!

Special attention reverse the drawing of the fur. Apply small strokes-villi, leaving spaces between them.

Of course, it will be difficult to draw such a character with a pencil for a 2nd grade child. But, if you do this together with your parents, then the work process will go easily, and the New Year's mood will increase rapidly.

Draw a Snow Maiden (step by step)

Another popular thematic character, the hero of the New Year holidays, is the Snow Maiden. She often appears with her grandfather on postcards and holidays, so it will be useful to learn how to draw not only Santa Claus, but also the Snow Maiden. To work, you will need the same materials and tools, so we will immediately move on to a step-by-step lesson.

Drawing order:

  1. We designate schematically the place where our heroine will be located. Let's draw a vertical line in the center of the sheet - the axis, and draw a rectangle, as shown in the figure. These will be the boundaries that the drawing should not go beyond.
  2. We draw an oval for the head of the Snow Maiden. Draw the shoulders with a smooth line and connect them with the head with the neck.
  3. Beautifully display the arms and upper body. Do not forget about the fur trim on the sleeves - at this stage it can be depicted as an oval.
  4. Let's start drawing the heroine's fur coat. We schematically designate the floors of outerwear.
  5. On the second sleeve, draw an oval for the fur trim, and connect the floors of the fur coat with a smooth curved line.
  6. Remove unnecessary marking lines. The result should be a slender figure of a girl.
  7. We draw elements of the traditional costume of the Snow Maiden. We draw fur finishing on a fur coat and a collar. We depict a kokoshnik in the form of a semicircular shield.
  8. Since the granddaughter of Frost has long hair, we paint on her a braid with a large bow and a bang peeking out from under the kokoshnik.
  9. We give expressiveness to the face of the Snow Maiden - draw eyes, mouth, nose and rosy cheeks.
  10. We put warm mittens on our hands.
  11. We decorate the Snow Maiden at will with paints or wax crayons.

Advice!

At the end, we will erase all the schematic elements. Therefore, do not press hard on the pencil while drawing.

Since we have already shown how to draw Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden with a pencil step by step easily and beautifully, it's time to present another option. New Year's card. Often on greeting cards you can see the main winter wizard with a bag of gifts in his hands. How to make such a drawing on your postcard yourself is shown in this step-by-step lesson.

Drawing order:

  • We begin to draw the face of Santa Claus. To do this, we depict on a piece of paper a figure resembling a sleep mask.

  • We draw a nose resembling a small potato in shape, a mustache extending from the nose in different directions, and small eyes. Above them we draw lush eyebrows, as shown in the diagram.
  • We depict a hat - we designate the fur trim in the form of a voluminous semicircle above the face, and then we paint on the headdress itself.
  • Let's move on to the body. We draw an axis in the form of a vertical strip and a wizard's fur coat. We draw sleeves and schematically depict mittens. At this stage, you should get a drawing, as in the picture.

  • We outline the beard - a "sharp", realistic kennel and a few hairs. After that, we move on to the bag with gifts. It should sit on the shoulder of Santa Claus. Carefully draw out with a pencil all the folds and the hand in which he holds the neck of the bag.
  • On the other hand, we draw a part of the bag, which is shown because of the hero's hat. We draw the second arm and sleeve, as well as the staff, which is crowned with a large, openwork snowflake.

  • We complement the costume with traditional elements - fur trim on a fur coat and a belt.
  • Delete unnecessary marking lines with an eraser.
  • We color Santa Claus at our discretion.

Advice!

At the stage of drawing the staff, it should be noted that it diverges downward, so you should not make it straight in all areas.

New Year is just around the corner - it's time to draw Santa Claus! It is more complicated than giraffes and hedgehogs, so today's lesson turned out to be long. At first glance, it may seem strange that we will draw the arms first, and then the body, but, believe me, it's easier to make it proportional. In general, at first just repeat, and then draw as you like.

UPD-2012: NEW FATHER FROST is posted, it's prettier - like this (click on the picture):

(Small digression: have you already found a New Year's gift?)

So, as the basis for the drawing, I took Santa Claus from the blog of Irina and Visha (for which many thanks to them) - be sure to take a look, they have it a little different, but in color!

We draw a horizontal oval, more precisely, a loaf:

We add a cap to the loaf, this will be our hat:

Directly under the cap we draw eyebrows that look like half a cloud...

... and eyes - two dashes, sticking out straight from the eyebrows:

We draw a strongly flattened nose, approximately as wide as the distance between the eyes. The nose is almost immediately below the eyes:

Now let's do the beard. From the nose to the cap, two such lines go in an arc, on the left and on the right. Please note: they do not depart from the nose exactly from the side and not from below, but at half past five and half past seven. To the “loaf” of the cap, they fit exactly opposite the cap:

Well, now from the same points where the “sideburns” fit the hat, we draw a beard. Her "curls" are larger than those of her "whiskers":

So far, Santa Claus looks like a gloomy forest man. Let's add a smile! :)

Finished with the head, now the body. Estimate by eye where the chin is hidden under the beard - at this level we will draw the shoulder. More precisely, its upper edge. We draw a hand: first the outer arc, then the inner one, and then another loaf, only smaller:

And a mitten:

With this hand, Santa Claus holds a bag of gifts. According to our plan, the bag is on the ground, so figure out in advance how tall Santa Claus is.

Opposite the first hand, draw the second. In this hand, Santa Claus will have a magic staff, so we draw the hand at an angle (about 45 degrees):

Let's leave the palm for later, but for now let's finish the body. Now we have to rely on the eye: we draw the edge of the fur coat and the lower rim (long loaf). Under the fur coat, we will also draw felt boots, so the bottom edge of the fur coat should be slightly higher than the bottom edge of the bag - the bag is on the ground. Take a closer look - at the right hand of Grandfather (for us it is on the left), the edge of the fur coat is also visible.
MOST IMPORTANT - you can get a little different: the hand is to the left or to the right, the bag is wider, Santa Claus is thicker or taller. Naturally, the picture will not get worse from this :)

Drawing boots...

... a wide strip in the center of the fur coat and a small bar - a pocket trim. My second pocket is covered with a bag, you can see it.

Now let's return to the palm in which the staff is clamped. Let's start with the thumb...

... and all the other fingers are bent in such a squiggle. Actually, I did not respect the dimensions, but it turned out well too:

We stick a staff into the resulting fist - almost perpendicular to the palm. One end is on the ground. I can’t see it because of the felt boots, but you can see it - decorate it to your taste.

Finally, we draw some kind of knob and paint the staff itself - Happy New Year!



Kind Santa Claus has become a symbol of the New Year. AT new year's eve he quietly sneaks through the chimney or other hidden places with a large bag of gifts to each house to congratulate adults and children on the holiday. Under the decorated Christmas tree, he leaves each packed boxes with cherished gifts for each family member. You should start drawing such a New Year's character from a sketch, where a figure is drawn from the top of the head or a New Year's hat-cap to the very heels, where he has warm boots. coloring ready contour drawing follows the brightest colored pencils with a soft lead that will easily apply the desired color to paper fragments.

Step-by-step master class of drawing Santa Claus

Necessary drawing materials:

- White list;
- pencils;
- black liners;
- eraser.



Drawing steps:

1. To draw the most important element in the drawing, take the HB pencil and draw a circle. This will be the outline of the beard and face. Draw an arc to the top of the outline to start drawing a New Year's cap.




2. We draw the main part of the cap and add a bubo in the form of a small circle to its tip. From the contour of the beard, draw lines to the sides that will become the shoulders and arms of the grandfather. Next, draw the bottom contour of the fur coat in the form of a rectangle without the top line.




3. To the drawn lines, let's add more contours of the hands, where fur inserts and mittens should be added. On the main part of the fur coat, draw two vertical lines in the center, and on the sides - two pockets. From the bottom line of the fur coat, we begin to draw the legs in the pants.




4. We draw insulated pants on the grandfather’s legs and “shoe” him in boots. We create fur inserts on a fur coat and a headdress in the form of arched lines.




5. Now we move on to drawing the face, where we outline the circle. We fit two tiny eyes and one nose, eyebrows and a thick mustache into it. We decorate the lower part of the hat with berries and leaves of Christmas mistletoe.




6. We paint over the main part of the hat-cap and fur coat with a red pencil. You should also make berries on the headdress in this color.




7. With a dark red pencil with a pink tint, we add shadow and volume to the already painted areas of the picture.




8. Paint over the face with a beige pencil. And to acquire a delicate natural skin tone on the face of Santa Claus, you should take a pink and yellow-orange pencil.




9. With green shades we create color on the pants, mittens and mistletoe leaves. For volume in these areas of the picture, use a darker green color.




10. Shoes on the feet of Santa Claus will be brown. We immediately use a couple of colored pencils of this shade.




11. Paint over small areas of fur inserts with a blue pencil to give a light shade.




12. Finally, we use black liners, with which we create a shadow using hatching and general contour.




So we get a drawing of Santa Claus for the New Year, which is created on a white sheet of paper using green, red, brown and pastel shades of pencils.




How to draw Santa Claus step by step




 In this material, we will consider in detail, and most importantly, we will show with visual examples how to draw Santa Claus in stages with a pencil, easily and beautifully.

Interesting! Initially, such a winter character as Santa Claus appeared among the Slavs, because he was a harbinger of frost. He was represented as an old man with a white beard who runs through the fields. This old man has a staff with which he knocks on the fields, which causes the onset of frost. It was Santa Claus as a New Year's character for children that appeared only in the 30s of the last century already in the USSR. He became a symbol and obligatory character of the New Year. Traditionally, the grandfather was depicted in a blue and white fur coat, in felt boots and with a staff in his hands. Today, Santa Claus's red coat with white accents is more common (this is the influence of Western Santa Claus).

4. From the contour of the nose, we begin to draw a mustache in both directions.




5. We also add a lush beard to the drawing, where the line starts from one edge and smoothly passes to the opposite edge of the face.




6. Having drawn with a simple pencil the contour of the face of Santa Claus can be taken with colored pencils. First of all, we take a beige pencil. They completely paint over the skin on the grandfather's face. Then pink we create a gentle thin skin, close to natural.




7. We use two red pencils for coloring the character's New Year's hat.




8. But with a blue tint we create highlights on the fur insert on the hat and bubo.




9. We finish drawing the face of Santa Claus with colored pencils in black and gray tones. With them we give not only highlights in the white areas of the picture, but also draw the outline of all elements.
