Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing an oval to outline Santa’s head.
Step 2
Draw a smaller oval in the first image to form the nose.
Step 3
Extend two curved lines from each side of the nose, allowing them to meet at the blunt points. This forms the mustache.
Step 4
Erase the path from between the two sides of the mustache.
Step 5
Draw a wavy line, in the shape of a seashell, around a shape from side to side of the head. This forms the beard.
Step 6
Extend two long, curved lines down from the beard, outlining the body. Connect the lines using a long curved line. Around the bottom part of the shape, draw a long line in the shape of a seashell.
Step 7
Outline the arms in a long, curved line from the shoulders and into the torso. Draw a shorter curved line to form the other side of the arm.
Step 8
Erase the guide lines on the arm.
Step 9
Close the cuffs by drawing a series of short, curved lines that are joined together.
Step 10
Enclose the hand with a curved line. Add detail where the thumb and fingers meet by drawing a short curved line.
Step 11
Erase the guide lines from the hand. Draw a rounded rectangle on one side of the torso to form the belt buckle. Draw a smaller rounded rectangle in the first shape. Then draw a set of parallel lines extending from each of the three visible edges of the belt buckle, ending at the edge of the torso.
Step 12
Draw Santa’s toy sack. Draw a wavy line below his hand to indicate the opening of the sack. Extend a long, curved line from his hand, around his shoulder, and ending at the bottom of the figure. Draw a shorter, curved line extending from the hands and over the shoulders. Remove guide lines as necessary.
Step 13
Draw three short curved lines extending from the bottom of the figure to outline the legs. Connect the lines with a seashell line. Close the cuff of each leg with a scalloped line.
Step 14
Draw Santa’s boots. For each boot, extend a long, curved line from the cuff to outline the bottom of the shoe, around to form the top of the shoe. Connect the top of the shoe to the cuff with a short line and draw a line parallel to the bottom of the boot.
Step 15
Draw Santa’s remaining arm by extending a long, curved line from the shoulder. Enclose an irregular circle to represent the hand and use a scalloped line to form the cuff. Remove guide lines as necessary.
Step 16
Attach the bottom of Santa’s hat with a seashell line.
Step 17
Draw a circle to form the puff ball at the end of the hat. Detail it with a few short curves. Connect it to the brim using two long curved lines.
Step 18
Draw two curved lines between the parts of the mustache to indicate the mouth and draw each eyebrow using two curved lines
Step 19
For each eye, draw a circle within a circle. Draw a tiny circle within each eye, and shade around it.
Step 20
Color Santa. He is typically depicted wearing a red suit with white trim.
