Hello, dear readers! Today we will tell you how to draw Santa Claus for children!
Step 1
First let's outline the figure. It will be very different from a human one in terms of proportions - yet we are drawing this lesson in cartoon style. The main differences are a large, round head, short stature and short legs.
Step 2
Using potatoes we also draw the contours of the cap, which is put on a little askew.
Step 3
It seems that this step is very, very intense, but in fact it is not, you just need to be consistent in drawing the facial features. Let's start with the eyebrows, outline them right under the cap. Next to the nose, draw close-set eyes - small circles, paint over them (don’t forget to leave white highlights, like ours). On the sides of the eyes we draw wrinkles, literally a couple on each side. Next is the mustache, outline the ears.
Step 4
Now let's draw Santa Claus's warm outerwear, and let's start with the collar, sleeves and mittens.
Step 5
Now let’s draw the lower part of the sheepskin coat and felt boots.
You can draw Santa Claus like this:

Step by step instructions on how to draw Santa Claus.
1. To draw Santa Claus, you need to start with the contours of the beard and head. They represent two intersecting circles. For the head, make a larger circle than for the beard.
2. Draw a horizontal line in the center of the picture, which will indicate to us where the center of the face is.
3. Now draw two circles above the center line, with the circles positioned on the smaller circle. These two small circles will be the eyes.
4. Next draw a circle slightly larger than the circles for the eyes. This circle should intersect the center line only with its edge. This will be the nose of our Santa Claus.
5. Now let's draw an arc at the top of the large circle. The resulting line will be the outline of the future hat.
6. Santa Claus's hat consists of lines that run parallel to each other. The bottom of the hat should cover the entire top part larger circumference. The cap of the cap consists of a curved line and a circle. The line should not be perfectly straight, otherwise the hat will not look natural.
7. Let's start drawing the mustache and beard. The beard resembles a heart shape. Mustache is curved lines. Try to make each of the mustaches look similar. Then Santa Claus will look more neat.
8. On the center line where the beard reaches the face, draw the ears.
9. Now draw the pupils in the eyes and two arcs above them - these are the eyebrows.
10. Highlight all the main contours with smoother lines, similar to curls. Make the lines on the header wavy.
11. Erase all the auxiliary lines and color in Santa Claus.

Now we will look at how to draw Santa Claus with a pencil step by step. We will draw two options in more detail and there will be 7 diagrams of it in separate pictures. Initially, Santa Claus appeared among the Slavs as a harbinger of frost. They imagined that a small old man with a white beard was running through the fields and knocking with his staff, causing frost. Santa Claus, as such, appeared in the 1930s. after several years of its ban, and became a mandatory character for the New Year. He was depicted in a blue and white fur coat with a staff in his hands and felt boots. Now I often began to wear a red fur coat, this is the influence of Santa Claus.
Let's look at these two options in more detail.
Now let's look at how to easily and simply draw Santa Claus.
Draw visible part face, similar to a diving mask, then the nose, eyes, cap, eyebrows and mouth.
Draw a beard and mustache, using additional lines to indicate the length and middle of the body. Draw a fur coat, first draw the side lines, then the white border.
Draw the hands and mittens, the second hand is bent and holds a bag with gifts.
You can also draw a few lines on Santa Claus's beard, erase everything that was in the bag. Decorate.
This version of Santa Claus is a little more complicated, but also not complicated.
Draw the head and hat.
We sketch out the body, then draw a beard, mitten, sleeve, bag.
We draw a stick, a collar, a second hand, a second mitten, a belt, and the shape of a fur coat.
We erase everything that is not needed and paint over it.
The following are the stages of drawing Santa Claus in each picture differently. “Santa Claus has a red nose” - that’s how they always teased him. Grandfather Frost always comes to the holiday in a long red suit with a staff and with his granddaughter. Santa Claus is there different images, the color of his fur coat is now painted in red, but before it was painted in blue. Santa Claus is still a merry fellow: he dances, sings, tells stories, makes people laugh. But at the same time, he also needs to be amused with various poems, skits, and answers to his questions. Whoever answers his question correctly will receive a gift. Also, Santa Claus likes to come late at night, when everyone is sleeping, and leave gifts just like that. If you don’t sleep, he won’t come, because he’s very shy. Therefore, let's learn again how to draw Santa Claus with a pencil step by step, quickly and easily for adults and children in pictures. Drawings of Santa Claus below.
Good Grandfather Frost has become a symbol of the New Year. IN New Year's Eve he quietly sneaks through the chimney or other hidden places with a large bag of gifts into every home to congratulate adults and children on the holiday. Under the decorated Christmas tree, he leaves everyone packed boxes with cherished gifts for each family member. You should start drawing such a New Year's character with a sketch, where the figure is drawn from the top of the head or the New Year's hat to the very heels, where he has warm boots. The finished outline drawing should be colored with the brightest colored pencils with a soft lead, which will be easy to apply. desired color onto pieces of paper.

Drawing steps:
1. To draw the most important element in the drawing, take an HB pencil and draw a circle. This will be the outline of the beard and face. We draw an arc to the top of the outline to begin drawing the New Year's hat.
2. Draw the main part of the cap and add a bubo in the form of a small circle to its tip. From the outline of the beard, draw lines to the sides that will become the shoulders and arms of the grandfather. Next, we finish drawing the lower contour of the fur coat in the form of a rectangle without the top line.
3. To the drawn lines we will add the contours of the hands, where we should add fur inserts and mittens. On the main part of the fur coat, draw two vertical lines in the center, and two pockets on the sides. From the bottom line of the fur coat we begin to draw the legs in the pants.
4. Draw the insulated pants on the grandfather’s legs and “put shoes” on him. We create fur inserts on the fur coat and headdress in the form of arched lines.
5. Now we move on to drawing the face, where we outline the circle. It holds two tiny eyes and one nose, eyebrows and a thick mustache. We decorate the lower part of the hat with berries and Christmas mistletoe leaves.
6. Paint over the main part of the cap and fur coat with a red pencil. You should also make the berries on the headdress this color.
7. Using a dark red pencil with a pink tint, add shadow and volume to the already painted areas of the drawing.
8. Use a beige pencil to paint over the face. And to acquire a delicate natural skin tone on the face of Santa Claus, you should take a pink and yellow-orange pencil.
9. Use green shades to create color on the pants, mittens and mistletoe leaves. For volume in these areas of the picture we use more dark color green.
10. Let’s create the shoes on Santa Claus’ feet in brown. We use a couple of colored pencils of this shade at once.
11. Paint small areas of the fur inserts with a blue pencil to give a light tint.
12. Finally, we use black liners, which we use to create a shadow using shading and general outline.
This is how we get a drawing of Santa Claus on New Year, which is created on a white sheet of paper using green, red, brown and pastel shades of pencils.

It was Father Frost who appeared as a New Year's character for children 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, felt boots and holding a staff.
