Draw Santa now!

Santa’s Big Central Nose is First:

Draw a medium-sized circle in the exact center of your piece of paper since we’ll start there and work our way out from there. Santa’s nose will be like this.

Make Santa’s Nose Have a Moustache:

Given that Santa is distinguished by his beard, let’s begin by giving him a curling mustache.
Sweep out almost to the edge of the page from the tip of his nose, then curl up. Rejoining it this time toward the top, draw down once more and return to the nose.

Santa’s head should be framed in circles:

By sketching the soft edge of Santa’s hat, we can now frame the top of his head.

The left side of Santa’s curling mustache should have a circle drawn at the tip. Then add yet another circle on top of it, and keep going in a semicircle pattern until you reach the right side of his mustache tip.

Additional Circular Forms for the Santa Hat:

Draw a broad, sweeping semicircle past Santa’s mustache on the right side of the paper, beginning at the first circle once more. To finish off the hat, draw a sizable circle at the bottom.

Swirls are Layered to Draw the Beard:

Let’s get back to Santa’s thick beard!
Draw curls from the left underside of the mustache down to the bottom of the page. Then repeat the process on the right side beneath his mustache, joining them with extra curls in the middle to create a basic beard outline.
Then add additional curls to the central area to give the appearance of a full, curly beard.

Enhance Santa’s face using facial features:

Let’s finally add some features to Santa! He needs bright eyes, a broad smile, and perhaps some perky eyebrows or flushed cheeks as well.

Draw Santa in a bold, vibrant style!

The painting time has come! To give Santa a truly vibrant and vivid appearance, use a dry brush and thorough application.
To give Santa more personality, use a fine brush to add details like the eyes and mouth.
Create detailed snowflakes with acrylic markers.
Once your foundation colors have dried, try experimenting with acrylic marker pens to add glittering snowflakes to the sky or give Santa’s hat trim a fuzzy appearance. Acrylic marker pens are a fantastic tool for adding detail to artwork and making a painting stand out!
Now that Santa Claus is sketched, your cheery portrait is finished! On Christmas Eve, why not put it out for the man himself? He would enjoy it, I’m sure.
