New Year drawing lesson, New Year's cards. Now we will learn how to draw Father Frost and the Snow Maiden together with a pencil step by step. Father Frost and Snow Maiden are integral characters of the New Year; not a single matinee goes by without them.
There is this New Year's card.
1. Make a sketch. We start with Santa Claus: draw a circle and guidelines (showing the middle of the head and the location of the eyes), then a triangular sketch of a fur coat (the line inside is the middle of the body), the skeleton of the arms (the arm on the left is bent at the elbow and holds a stick, the arm on the right is simply lowered). The Snow Maiden stands on the right, we also draw a circle (head) and guides, a coat, a skeleton of arms and legs (their location). We draw the lines very faintly so that they are barely visible.
2. Draw the face of Santa Claus. First draw the nose, then the eyes, mustache, mouth and eyebrows.
3. Draw a hat, beard, collar (make it fluffy with a simple zigzag), belt, hands, mitten, then the middle of the fur coat and the bottom.
4. Draw the stick more voluminously; there will be a star on the top of the stick. To do this, we make a cross, then a circle and rays from it, between these rays we draw more rays, only smaller in size, erase the circle inside the star and use dashes to show the shine, as in the picture (marked 3). Next we draw the Snow Maiden’s face, for this we need to give the shape of the head, draw the eyes, nose, mouth and hair.
5. Draw a coat or short fur coat, start with the collar, then the middle of the clothing, then the bottom and the lines should be uneven to show fluffiness. There is a skirt under the short fur coat, it is visible just a little. We draw the legs and show the knees. We draw these rays on the head, this is to make it convenient to draw a crown on the Snow Maiden’s head.
6. Now we connect every two straight lines on the head with a figure resembling a greater than (>) or less than (<), только под разными углами. Затем повторяем только чуть ниже. На каждой прямой рисуем небольшой кружочек и очень маленький. Низ короны состоит из бусинок, поэтому плотно к друг к другу нарисуем маленькие кружки. Дальше рисуем руки, рукава, варежки и сапожки.
Erase all unnecessary lines and draw on the Snow Maiden’s palm. It is very small, so it does not require much detail.
The New Year's drawing of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden is ready.
We will need:
- sheet of paper white;
- simple pencil HB;
- eraser;
- colored pencils or wax crayons.
Drawing order:
- On a white sheet of paper we mark 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 sheet of paper.
- We draw a hat and outline the wizard’s collar. The width of the collar should accommodate two hats. Make a mark where the beard will end. We connect the points with smooth lines so that the collar can be guessed in the outline. The sketch must be symmetrical, so you need to be oriented relative to 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 place where it will be tied with a belt.
- We continue to schematically depict Santa Claus' fur coat. We draw a belt, a hem with fur trim and peeping boots. The sketch should turn out approximately as shown in the photo, but you can deviate from the lesson, following your imagination.
- We indicate the details of the image with a pencil. You can give the wizard a small Christmas tree in one hand, and his staff in the other.
- Remove markings and unnecessary lines using an eraser. We carefully draw out the details - we make fluffy fur trim for the fur coat, draw the 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!
Pay special attention to the drawing of the fur. Apply small lint strokes, 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 smoothly, and the New Year’s mood will rapidly increase.
Drawing the 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 cards and holidays, so it will be useful to learn how to draw not only Father Frost, but also the Snow Maiden. For the work you will need the same materials and tools, so let’s immediately move on to the step-by-step lesson.
Drawing order:
- We designate schematically the place where our heroine will be located. Let's draw a vertical line - an axis - in the center of the sheet and draw a rectangle, as shown in the figure. These will be the boundaries beyond which the drawing should not go.
- Draw an oval for the Snow Maiden's head. We draw the shoulders with a smooth line and connect them to the head with the neck.
- We draw out the arms and upper body beautifully. Don't forget about the fur trim on the sleeves - at this stage it can be depicted as an oval.
- Let's start drawing the heroine's fur coat. We schematically designate the floors of outerwear.
- On the second sleeve we draw an oval for the fur trim, and connect the fur coat's floors with a smooth curved line.
- We remove unnecessary marking lines. The result should be a slender figure of a girl.
- We draw the elements of the traditional Snow Maiden costume. We draw the fur trim on the fur coat and the collar. We depict a kokoshnik in the form of a semicircular shield.
- Since Moroz’s granddaughter has long hair, we draw on her braid with a large bow and bangs peeking out from under the kokoshnik.
- Let’s add expressiveness to the Snow Maiden’s face – draw eyes, mouth, nose and rosy cheeks.
- We put warm mittens on our hands.
- We decorate the Snow Maiden as desired with paints or wax crayons.
Advice!
Finally, erase all the schematic elements. Therefore, do not press hard on the pencil while drawing.
Since we have already shown how to draw Father Frost and the Snow Maiden with a pencil step by step easily and beautifully, it’s time to present another version of the New Year’s card. Often on greeting cards you can see the main winter wizard with a bag of gifts in his hands. This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to make such a design on your postcard yourself.
Drawing order:
- Let's start drawing the face of Santa Claus. To do this, draw a figure on a piece of paper that resembles 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. Draw thick eyebrows above them, as shown in the diagram.
- We draw a hat - we designate the fur trim in the form of a voluminous semicircle above the face, and then we draw 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 the sleeves and schematically depict the mittens. At this stage you should get a drawing like the one in the picture.
- We outline the beard - a “sharp”, realistic kennel and a few hairs. After that, we move on to the bag of gifts. He should be located on the shoulder of Santa Claus. We carefully draw out with a pencil all the folds and the hand in which he holds the neck of the bag.
- On the other side, draw part of the bag, which appears from behind the hero’s hat. We draw the second arm and sleeve, as well as the staff, which is topped with a large, openwork snowflake.
- We complement the costume with traditional elements - fur trim on the fur coat and a belt.
- Remove unnecessary marking lines with an eraser.
- We color Santa Claus at our own discretion.
Advice!
At the stage of drawing the staff, it should be noted that it diverges downwards, so you should not make it straight in all areas.
On New Year's Eve, many people need to draw the Snow Maiden and Father Frost. That's why I made this tutorial two weeks before New Year's Eve 2014. I offer you “my” version of how to draw the Snow Maiden step by step. Despite the fact that the lesson was done on a graphics tablet, it can be used to draw the Snow Maiden with a simple pencil.
To make it beautiful draw the Snow Maiden, try first drawing the girl’s face on a separate piece of paper, and then start drawing the Snow Maiden and Father Frost on a large sheet of whatman paper. By the way, look at the lessons on How to draw Santa Claus and How to draw a Christmas tree. The drawings are made with a simple pencil, but they can easily be colored with paints or colored pencils.
1. Initial contours
To make it easier for you draw Snow Maiden make simple markings. Divide the square into four sections and draw the initial outlines of the design.
2. Contours of hands and head
I think it will be easy for you to draw the initial contours for the Snow Maiden’s arms and head. The main thing is not to press too hard on the pencil so that you can easily correct them.
3. Drawing of the Snow Maiden. General outline
Draw with a pencil the edge on the sleeves of the fur coat, the contours of the mittens and the belt. Now you can remove the extra original pencil lines and start working on the details of the Snow Maiden’s drawing.
4. Drawing of the Snow Maiden in detail
This stage of drawing may seem difficult. In fact, you don't need to draw anything complicated here. Take a closer look, you just need to draw the edge of the fur coat and the outline of the fur edge of the hat.
5. Draw the girl’s face
We can say that this is the final and most important step of the drawing. If you manage to draw the Snow Maiden’s face correctly and beautifully, then drawing the remaining small details will not be difficult. Don't forget to draw a braid for the girl.
6. Drawing of the Snow Maiden in pencil
New Year drawing of the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus must be bright and colorful, so the drawing must be colored with colored pencils. But if you don’t need this, you can simply shade the drawing with a simple soft pencil.
7. Drawing of the Snow Maiden on a tablet
Of course, the drawing on the tablet looks impressive, but you can use oil paints or colored pencils using the color scheme of my drawing of the Snow Maiden on the tablet. Be sure to draw a Christmas tree and Santa Claus next to it.
For foreigners, the New Year is inextricably linked with another fairy-tale character - a reindeer named Rudolf. It is the reindeer that brings Santa Claus with gifts to the children.
On the top of the tree you need to draw a five-pointed star. To draw a New Year's star correctly, use this lesson.
Any snowflake drawing has the correct geometric shape and therefore it is better to draw with a ruler. Are there any patterns for drawing snowflakes? Of course not, each snowflake is unique and has one single crystalline form.
The squirrel is also often a New Year's character. In any case, if you draw a squirrel next to Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, this will only emphasize the festive New Year’s atmosphere of your drawing.
All children love to make snowmen in winter. Try to draw a snowman, recording your impressions on a piece of paper.

On the eve of the New Year celebration, there is often a need to draw the main characters of this celebration. Who is the most important on December 31? Of course Santa Claus and Snow Maiden! See how to draw the Snow Maiden, and in this lesson, with the help of a pencil and paints, we will create the image of a kind grandfather. Frosts are not scary for him - grandfather is always rosy-cheeked, happy, waving to everyone with his hand in a beautiful mitten and handing out candy. We see the image of Santa Claus on New Year's posters and everywhere you look. You look at all this and you also want to draw.
How to draw Santa Claus? First, let's think about what a classic New Year's grandfather should be like? Firstly, our grandfather never shave and therefore has an amazing beard and mustache. Look at the photos and drawings of Santa Claus - it turns out that he also has sideburns. Grandfather also has fluffy white eyebrows and, often, hair longer than his shoulders peeks out from under his hat. And that's right. Agree, if Santa Claus had a brush cut, it would not look respectable.
How to draw Santa Claus step by step? What does grandpa always carry with him? Of course a bag of candy! Bag dimensions? The more, the better - it will fit more sweets! Another essential accessory for Santa Claus is a magic staff. If Frost hits the ground with his staff three times, the Christmas tree lights have the ability to light up. I don’t know how this can be explained from a physics point of view... Probably not! The staff is magical! Here the laws of nature stop working.
How to draw Santa Claus with a pencil? Now about the clothes. What does grandpa like to wear? A beautiful hat with fur flaps, a velvet fur coat, mittens, boots or felt boots - these are the favorite clothes of the New Year's hero. It must be said that every item is decorated skillfully - the granddaughter Snegurochka tries hard. Initially, Father Frost's clothes were blue or light blue, and the embroidery was silver. Later, they began to dress the grandfather in red and burgundy, and sometimes even white. We, following Slavic traditions, will make the clothes sky blue.
I will have Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden in one drawing. Because they are rarely separated.
At the first stage of drawing (and it is the most difficult), we will have to depict the external contours of these two characters. We can preface this stage by schematically drawing the frame of the picture. That is, use straight line segments to depict the position of the figures, their arms and legs. But I will omit this step as it is easy and does not require special instructions:
The second stage is the image of the bag. Because Santa Claus without a bag is just Santa:
Let's draw a belt for Dudu Moroz and a string for the bag. In general, we will gradually add various details:
My coloring is conditional. Let it be at the discretion of the youngest artists.
In any art school, schoolchildren are taught to make pencil sketches. Those who attended these classes find it easier to learn, and they can also teach their classmates.
It always starts with a small sketch - you need to distribute where the head and arms will be. We must not forget that the elbow should always be at waist level.
And now, based on the sketch, we draw the general contours of the head, arms, and fur coat.
Then we begin to draw the eyes, nose, and beard. And now according to the sketch you can paint C
little maiden and Santa Claus.
Drawing Father Frost and the Snow Maiden is not very easy, but I hope the following pictures will help in this difficult task.
First way:
But if the first method scares you with difficulty, Santa Claus can be drawn like this:
Almost everyone can draw the Snow Maiden:
Of course, we all know that it is Father Frost and the Snow Maiden who are the main characters of our New Year's holiday!
And of course, it’s hard to imagine any New Year’s holiday without these characters. In order to draw these fairy-tale characters step by step, we will need paper, a lead pencil and, of course, an eraser. And of course, if you want to make the drawing in color, you will need watercolor paints or felt-tip pens.
Because Santa Claus has a beautiful caftan, and Snegurochka has a beautiful blue caftan, which will definitely need to be painted.
And of course, you need a master class where all the techniques for these drawings are described in detail, step by step.

Happy drawing!
There are many types of drawing the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus, both simple and complex. Complex ones, of course, will be more beautiful, but they will be difficult to draw, and easy ones will be less beautiful, but they will be much less difficult to draw.
I would like to show you how to draw more beautifully, but more difficult.
First, we'll look at Santa Claus. First we draw the torso and head as in the picture, after which we draw the eyes, nose, mouth, arms and legs. In the third stage we draw his hat, eyebrows, mustache, beard, bag, wand and coat. After which we decorate the whole thing. The result is a very beautiful Santa Claus.
So, let's draw the Snow Maiden. To begin with, we draw her dress, head, part of the braid and part of two hands. Afterwards we will finish drawing her dress, braid and two hands. Then we draw her eyes, eyebrows, mouth, gloves on both hands, legs, hair and finish the dress again. Don’t forget to draw a crown, what kind of Snow Maiden would she be without it? And the last stage is that you need to decorate the whole thing to your taste or as in the picture.
Result: you get beautiful drawings of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
