How to draw Santa Claus with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?
So, now we will present a diagram for drawing two Santa Clauses, which even a small child can repeat.
You will need:
- eraser
- simple pencil
- colored pencils, markers or paints
- patience and perseverance
We will try to draw such Santa Clauses! Let's draw the first Santa Claus on the right. It's easier to draw.
Step 1. Let's start drawing Santa Claus from the head. We draw a face that initially looks like a diving mask or a cloud (or rather, that part of it that is not hidden by the hat and beard). Then we draw the nose and eyes. We immediately add a hat on top.
Step 2. The hat is ready, let's move on to the eyebrows and mouth. The eyebrows are partially covered by the cap, so don't draw them too low. We draw the mouth strictly under the nose, retreating a very small distance.
Face and hat of Santa Claus Step 3. We draw the beard, tilting it slightly to the side to make the drawing more realistic. Mentally draw a straight invisible line from your nose perpendicularly downwards. Where the beard ends, the line becomes visible. Draw an even horizontal line from it in both directions below.
Step 4. Complete the trapezoid from the sides of the beard to the bottom horizontal line. Now draw the fur: step back from the vertical line in the center about one centimeter in both directions, draw two parallel lines, as in the picture. Also draw fur from the bottom in a semicircle, as shown in the picture.
Santa Claus's beard and fur coat Step 5. As shown in the picture, draw the arms and collar of Santa Claus. Keep in mind that your arms will be on top of your body, so have an eraser ready to erase any extra lines.
Step 6. Now we draw a bag with gifts and mittens. To draw a bag, draw an irregular circle with a sharp curl at the top. Draw your hands as shown in the picture.
Let's draw a bag with gifts! Step 7 It remains to draw the details. We make the beard more realistic by adding additional vertical lines, similar to non-sharp teeth. We make several folds near the bag in the place where Santa Claus's hand is.
Santa Claus is almost ready!
Step 8 Now we color the grandfather and decorate his fur coat with stars.
The drawing is ready! Now we draw Santa Claus in a red fur coat, the one on the left. It's a little more difficult to draw.
Step 1. We draw a “sleep mask”, that is, the face of Santa Claus. We don't draw the eyes and the hat yet.
Step 2. We begin to draw the face: outline the nose, it should be slightly flattened, like a potato. From the nose we draw a mustache, in the upper part we place the eyes. directly above the eyes are the eyebrows.
Step 3. Draw a hat. First, we make a voluminous semicircle at the top of the head, then draw on the top of the hat.
The face of Santa Claus Step 4. We begin to draw the body of Santa Claus. It should be quite voluminous. We repeat the lines shown in the picture. We don’t draw the hands yet, leaving just circles instead.
Step 5. Now we draw the beard and bag well. The beard should be quite realistic, so we give it a “sharp” contour, drawing some hairs. Don't overdo it at this stage. After the beard, we begin to draw the bag that Santa Claus holds on his shoulder. At the same time, do not forget about the folds on this very bag. Make the hand that holds the bag more oblong and add a thumb.
Draw a beard and a bag Step 6. To the left of the head we finish drawing part of the bag. Draw the left arm and sleeve. Draw a staff consisting of a long stick and a snowflake at the top. Note that the staff widens towards the bottom, so do not make it the same in all places.
Step 7. Now you need to give the bottom of the fur coat a normal look. We draw fur, drawing it inside the outline of the fur coat. We make the lines slightly smooth so that there are no sharp transitions.
Drawing a fur coat Step 8 Santa Claus is almost ready. Using an eraser to get rid of invisible lines and make an outline fairy tale character more clear.
Step 9 We take colored pencils, felt-tip pens or paints and work out the entire drawing in color. We leave the fur on the fur coat, on the grandfather’s hat and his beard unpainted.
Santa Claus is ready! Here are a few more options for drawing Santa Claus that will look great on a New Year's card!

DIY postcard with Santa Claus How to draw the Snow Maiden with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?
The Snow Maiden is an important character in Russian fairy tales, the granddaughter of Father Frost. He is young, tender and beautiful. He always accompanies his formidable grandfather, helps animals in the forest and gives out gifts.
Drawing the Snow Maiden is not very difficult. In this part of the article we will give examples of drawing the Snow Maiden step by step in two versions: childish and more realistic.
OPTION 1:
Step 1. Let's draw the head. To do this, draw a head - a ball, draw eyes, nose and mouth. This is the very beginning.
Step 2. Now we make the Snow Maiden more realistic. Add a cap, not forgetting that all lines should be smooth. Draw the chin so that it stands out against the background of the cheeks.
Step 3. At this stage we draw eyebrows, ears and jewelry. The Snow Maiden's jewelry will include earrings in the shape of snowflakes, as well as a brooch on her hat. Don't forget to draw the eyebrows.
Step 4. Let's start drawing a fur coat. First, draw the collar from the ears down. Each side of the collar consists of two perpendicular lines. Directly in the center we draw a straight vertical line from the chin to the end, and below, perpendicular to it horizontal line. This will be the basis for the future fur coat.
Step 5. Again we draw a trapezoid from the collar - two straight lines going to the hem of the fur coat.
Step 6. On the fur coat we draw fur frills running along the bottom and vertically. The fur should be drawn with smooth lines, do not try to draw it using a ruler. Keep perspective.
Step 7 We outline the middle of the fur coat. This can be done by eye, or you can measure it with a ruler. We draw a horizontal line in this place, which will serve as a guide for the hands. Now we draw the hands. They start from the collar and end exactly on the horizontal line that we just drew. Draw fur on the sleeves a few centimeters above the line.
Step 8 Now we draw mittens of the same shape as in the picture.
Step 9. We finish drawing stars or curls on the sleeves and the fur coat itself. If you want to achieve minimalism, then simply skip this step.
Step 10 We finish drawing the Snow Maiden by adding blue color to the drawing.
OPTION 2:
Step 1. We draw the contours of the Snow Maiden, as in the photo. We start with the head, gradually adding a few smooth lines for the decorations on the head and the silhouette of the body.
Step 2. Now we draw a “frame” - in the upper part of the body we designate a circle - there will be a waist and chest. From this circle we draw two sticks - these are future hands. We begin to draw the lower part of the body (where the hem will be) more clearly.
Step 3. We begin to detail the drawing: add sleeves and mittens to the arms. Don't forget to add fur on the sleeves. At the same stage we draw the face - the Snow Maiden’s facial expression is always kind, with a smile.
Step 4. Now it's time to draw the collar on the fur coat, which is located between the upper body and the head. Also draw a kokoshnik hat as shown in the picture.
Step 5. At this stage, the image of the Snow Maiden is almost ready. We draw a braid with a bow for the granddaughter of Santa Claus, as in the picture, and draw the lower part of the fur coat (fur, dress and hem of the fur coat). We erase all unnecessary lines with an eraser; in some places you can draw folds.
Step 6. Let's color what we got. This option is black and white, but you, of course, can use colored pencils, markers, and paints. Traditionally, the Snow Maiden's clothes are blue or white and her hair is golden.

Santa Claus on a sleigh - greetings from Soviet childhood :))) Nowadays they often depict Santa Claus on reindeer, but nostalgia for the old Santa Claus remains :))
To draw Santa Claus on a sleigh drawn by three horses, your best bet is to look for old Soviet New Year cards and copy from them.
For example:

I suggest using this drawing as a basis for drawing Santa Claus on a sleigh:
As we can see, Santa Claus is drawn on a sleigh with funny bunnies, and you can draw him in two ways:

In this regard, we will have many elements of the drawing, adding them one by one will be our stages.

Everyone strives to convey the spirit of the holiday and the character of the characters. These drawings will decorate your office walls. We have put together lessons that will help artists of all ages cope with this important task!
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 a character look realistic, it is necessary to respect the proportions and structural features of the body. However, the winter wizard wears a large fur coat, which simplifies our task.
- In the first sketch we depict clear contours of the robe, hands, head, beard and staff.
- Add details: hat, facial features, belt, felt boots, mittens, fur coat edging. We correct the lines made in the previous step.
- We are finishing the black and white version of the drawing. We draw the face and beard, folds on the fur coat and fibers on the border, as well as the staff. Making the contours clearer.
- 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 the Snow Maiden (step by step)
We draw the granddaughter of Santa Claus according to the same scheme. She also wears a long fur coat, so you can not draw the 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.
- We draw the outline of the body - a trapezoid, tapering upward. Add arms, shoulders and neck, head with the outline of a hat.
- We correct the contours of the fur coat. Draw a line along which the fastener will go, making the bottom of the figure semicircular. Add a cape, muff and headdress, outline the facial features.
- Let's finish pencil drawing. We detail the Snow Maiden’s face and outfit, draw a braid, highlight the fur on the cape, muff and the bottom of the fur coat with shading.
- Color the drawing. We depict snowflakes and patterns on the blue fur coat, and make the hair golden.

Other ways to draw the Snow Maiden
Father Frost and his granddaughter Snegurochka are the main characters of the Russian New Year! Nothing can do without them New Year's performance. Good Grandfather Frost always comes to children with a large bag of gifts, which he distributes under the Christmas tree. Before this, children usually tell him a poem, sing a song or dance. And granddaughter Snegurochka leads the children in a round dance around the Christmas tree and entertains them with funny songs and rhymes, riddles and games. Today we will draw them together with a pencil step by step. So, take a sheet of paper, a pencil, an eraser - and go!
Stage 1. Let's draw the signal lines of the Snow Maiden. These are the initial contours of her figure. The circle is the head, there is a line of eyes in it, the circle is framed by a triangular crown - kokoshnik, from it we will draw a curved line of the braid. Then from the circle we will outline the lines of the arms, fur coat and legs.
Stage 2. Now we draw the contours of the figure of Santa Claus. Again the circle is the head, with the line of the eyes in it. Above the head is a cap - the future hat. From the circle downwards there is an oval figure - a beard. A fur coat is visible under the beard, and lines of arms extend from the shoulders.
Stage 4. Draw Santa Claus's hat. We show a wide strip of fur above the head, and the top of the hat above the fur. For the Snow Maiden, we draw a kokoshnik on her head, pointed upward. It is decorated with snowflakes
Stage 5. Here we make the bangs, hair and thick beard of Santa Claus, rounding the lines around the head and below. And for the Snow Maiden we will depict hair with an even parting and a braid going down onto her fur coat. The braid is thick and has a bow at the end.
Stage 6. We draw the bottom of Santa Claus's fur coat, making wide fur stripes in front and below the hem. For the Snow Maiden we draw a fluffy collar and a fur coat trimmed with fur on the front and bottom.
Stage 7. Draw a belt on Grandfather’s waist. We will decorate the Snow Maiden's fur coat with snowflakes and buttons along the front placket. Boots are visible from under the fur coat.
Stage 8. Draw the hands of the Snow Maiden. These are wide lines of sleeves, framed with fur; hands in mittens peek out from the sleeves.
Stage 9. Let's finish drawing Grandfather's hands. They are wearing mittens, one is bent, the other is raised up. In his bent hand he holds a bag.
Stage 10. Showing the faces of the characters. Eyebrows, eyes, noses, mouth.
Stage 11. Erase unnecessary lines.
Stage 12. Let's color our New Year's heroes. We have Santa Claus in a red fur coat and a hat with white fur. He has a gray beard, hair and mustache. The Snow Maiden is all dressed in blue and white. She has a wheat braid. It turned out beautifully! Happy upcoming holiday to you!!!
