How To Draw Santa

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

If you want to draw Santa Claus, but don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve studied some amazing tutorials on how to draw Santa Claus, and I bet they can help you understand the approach you should follow while drawing our jolly friend.

To draw Santa, we first divide the figure in three different parts or sections. There’s the face and the head, which also incorporates the hat, and Santa’s iconic beard. Then, there’s the whole bulky body, which is actually the easiest part to draw. Finally, we draw his legs, and of course, his nice big boots.
