Step 1

We will start drawing this Santa by drawing a small circle for the nose.

Step 2

Next draw a pair of mustaches.

Step 3

Complete the face by drawing an arc from the tip of one mustache to the tip of the next. Make another arch on the outside of the first one – this will form the soft part of Santa’s head.

Also draw a small U shape under the nose for the mouth.

Step 4

Continue drawing the hat, starting by drawing the curve on one side (on the right) and then from the other side (on the left) start drawing the shape for the hat.

Draw two dots for the eyes and two lines above for the eyebrows.

Next is the beard, you just need to create a U shape from one end to the other or you can create a wavy beard style.

Step 5

Complete the hat by drawing a circle at the tip.

Draw two curved lines from the beard to start drawing Santa’s clothes.

Step 6

Connect the two lines with a curved line. Draw a line of down underneath to create the smooth white part of the fur.

Draw two shapes for the sleeves.

Step 7

Draw ovals at the end of the sleeve (this is the white cotton lining).

Also draw two shapes for the pants.

Step 8

Draw gloves. Next, draw the boots.

Two curved lines will form the belt.

Step 9

Add a belt buckle and stripes to complete Santa’s coat.

Step 10

That’s it, you’ve learned how to draw Santa Claus.

Now all that’s left to do is color in your Santa drawing.
