Next year will be the year of the lamb, and I decided to make a very useful and easy lesson drawing. If you want to please your friends or relatives, but don’t want to buy expensive and not very nice cards, just draw it yourself! This will be a very good gift. So this lesson is for all those who ask how to draw a New Year for a New Year card.
The main thing in New Year's cards is to convey the mood of the new year. Below, after this lesson, I will give you links to other lessons with which you can make your own unique card that no one else has. But first, look at this:
How to draw the New Year with a pencil step by step
Step one. I start painting with the sheep because it is the most important element of this painting. First I draw the outline of the head. Since the sheep is cartoonish, its head looks like a human's. You can draw a circle and then a chin, as is the case with people. But I didn’t do that, I started with the chin and cheeks. The sheep has chubby cheeks and their shape is easy to depict. 
Step two. Now I'll add gifts below. They look like cubes, but they don't have to be even. The gift can be anything, it doesn’t have to be in a neat cardboard package. I’ll also draw a silhouette of a Christmas tree at the back. 
Step three. Now I’ll draw the toys and the Christmas tree. 
Step four. I deliberately did not bother with details (such as garlands, light bulbs and other nonsense). The main thing here is to convey the mood. A couple of details are enough for anyone to understand what holiday this card is in honor of. I also added snowflakes. I painted in Photoshop, so there is a special brush for this. And you will have to depict the snowflakes yourself. I think everyone can draw a snowflake: I have made many more lessons about winter for you, here are the best of them.
New Year- This is perhaps the favorite celebration of most children and adults. IN New Year's Eve It is customary to give gifts not only to children, but also to relatives, as well as to closest friends and colleagues.

3. In the sleigh, outline the outlines of a couple of bunnies, a bag of gifts and Santa Claus;
4. Draw both hares;
5. Draw a line through the gift bag. Then draw more clearly Santa Claus, who sits in front and rules the horse;
6. In the place where the second rectangle is depicted, draw the silhouette of a horse;

9. Now you know perfectly well how to draw the New Year with a pencil. But such a drawing, unfortunately, does not look finished. It needs to be painted. Therefore, carefully outline the sketch with a liner;
10. Remove the lines made with a pencil or eraser;
11. Knowing how to draw the New Year with a pencil step by step, you need to immediately move on to the next stage - coloring the picture. Fill in Santa's face with a flesh-toned pencil and use a pink pencil to outline the blush on his cheek. Lightly shade the beard and hair with a gray tone. Paint over the hat and coat with a red pencil, and shade the fur edge on them with blue. Color the bunnies with pencils in gray and flesh tones, and the toy that one of them holds in its paws with brown pencils;
12. Use green and other bright shades of pencil to color in the Christmas tree and toys. Use a brown pencil to paint over the bag, and red and blue to paint the patches on it;
