How to draw Santa Claus with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?
So, now we will give a scheme for drawing two Santa Clauses, which even a small child can repeat.
You will need:
- eraser
- simple pencil
- colored pencils, markers or paints
- patience and perseverance
We will try to draw such Santa Clauses! First draw that Santa Claus on the right. Its easier to draw.
Step 1. We start drawing Santa Claus from the head. We draw a face that initially looks like a diving mask or a cloud (or rather, that part of it that the hat and beard do not hide). Then we draw a nose, eyes. From above we immediately supplement the hat.
Step 2 The hat is ready, proceed to the eyebrows and mouth. Eyebrows are partially covered by a cap, so do not draw them too low. We draw the mouth strictly under the nose, retreating a very small distance.
Face and hat of Santa Claus Step 3 We draw a beard, deviating it a little to the side so that the drawing comes out more realistic. Mentally draw a straight invisible line from the nose perpendicularly down. Where the beard ends, the line becomes visible. Draw a straight horizontal line from it on both sides below.
Step 4 Complete the trapezoid from the sides of the beard to the bottom horizontal line. Now draw fur: step back from the vertical line in the center about one centimeter in both directions, draw two parallel lines, like on a picture. From below, draw fur in a semicircle, as shown in the figure.
Beard and fur coat of Santa Claus Step 5 As shown in the picture draw the hands and collar of Santa Claus. Keep in mind that the arms will be on top of the body, so prepare an eraser to erase the extra lines.
Step 6 Now we draw a bag with gifts and mittens. To draw the bag, draw an irregular circle with a sharp curl at the top. Draw the hands as shown in the picture.
Draw a bag with gifts! Step 7 It remains to draw the details. We make the beard more realistic by adding additional vertical lines that look like soft teeth. At the bag in the place where the hand of Santa Claus, we make several folds.
Santa Claus is almost ready!
Step 8 Now we color the grandfather and decorate his fur coat with stars.
The drawing is ready! Now we draw Santa Claus in a red coat, the one on the left. It's a little more difficult to draw.
Step 1. We draw a "mask for sleep", that is, the face of Santa Claus. Until we draw eyes and a hat.
Step 2 We begin to draw the face: we outline the nose, it should be slightly flattened, like a potato. From the nose we draw a mustache, in the upper part we place the eyes. right above the eyes are the eyebrows.
Step 3 We draw a hat. First, we make a voluminous semicircle in the upper part of the head, then we paint on the upper part of the cap.
Santa Claus face Step 4 We begin to draw the body of Santa Claus. It should be pretty big. We repeat the lines shown in the picture. We don’t draw the hands yet, we leave just circles instead.
Step 5 Now we draw a beard and a bag well. The beard should be quite realistic, so we make it a "sharp" outline, drawing some hairs. Don't overdo it at this stage. After the beard, we begin to draw a bag that Santa Claus holds on his shoulder. At the same time, do not forget about the folds on this very bag. We make the hand that holds the bag more oblong, add a thumb.
Draw a beard and a bag Step 6 Draw a part of the bag to the left of the head. Draw left hand and sleeve. We draw a staff consisting of a long stick and a snowflake at the top. Note that the staff expands towards the bottom, so don't make it the same in all places.
Step 7. Now you need to give the bottom of the fur coat a normal look. We draw the fur, drawing it inside the outline of the fur coat. We make the lines slightly smooth so that there are no sharp transitions.
We draw a fur coat Step 8 Santa Claus is almost ready. We get rid of invisible lines with the help of an eraser and make the outline of a fairy-tale character more clear.
Step 9 We take colored pencils, felt-tip pens or paints and work through the entire drawing in color. We leave the fur on the fur coat, on the grandfather's hat and his beard unpainted.
Santa Claus is ready! And here are a few more options for drawing Santa Claus, which will look great on a New Year's card!
According to this scheme, you can very quickly draw Santa Claus

Version of the postcard for the New Year with Santa Claus and sleigh 
Santa Claus in the Motherland - postcard 
do-it-yourself postcard with Santa Claus How to draw a Snow Maiden with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?
Snow Maiden - important character Russian fairy tales, granddaughter of Santa Claus. He is young, gentle and beautiful. He always accompanies his formidable grandfather, helps animals in the forest and distributes gifts.
Drawing a Snow Maiden is not very difficult. In this part of the article, we will give examples of drawing the Snow Maiden in stages in two versions: for children and more realistic.
OPTION 1:
Step 1. We draw the head. To do this, draw a head - a ball, draw eyes, nose and mouth. This is the very beginning.
Step 2 Now we make the Snow Maiden more realistic. We add a cap, not forgetting that all lines should be smooth. We draw the chin so that it stands out against the background of the cheeks.
Step 3 At this stage we draw eyebrows, ears and jewelry. Of the decorations, the Snow Maiden will have earrings in the form of snowflakes, as well as a brooch on her hat. Don't forget to draw the eyebrows.
Step 4 We begin to draw a fur coat. First, from the ears down, draw a collar. Each side of the collar consists of two perpendicular lines. Directly in the center, we draw a straight line from the chin to the end down vertical line, and below, perpendicular to it horizontal line. This will be the basis for the future fur coat.
Step 5 Again we draw a trapezoid from the collar - two straight lines going to the hem of the fur coat.
Step 6 At the fur coat, we draw fur frills going along the bottom and vertically. The fur needs to be drawn with smooth lines, do not try to draw it with a ruler. Keep perspective.
Step 7 We outline the middle of the fur coat. You can do this by eye, or you can measure with a ruler. We draw a horizontal line in this place, which will serve as a guide for the hands. Now we draw hands. They start from the collar and end just on the horizontal line that we just drew. Draw fur on the sleeves a few centimeters above the line.
Step 8 Now we draw mittens of such a form as in the picture.
Step 9. We finish drawing stars or curls on the sleeves and the fur coat itself. If you want to achieve minimalism, then just skip this step.
Step 10 We finish drawing the Snow Maiden, adding blue color to the drawing.
OPTION 2:
Step 1. We draw the contours of the Snow Maiden, as in the photo. We start with the head, gradually adding a few smooth lines for decorations on the head and the silhouette of the torso.
Step 2 Now we draw a "frame" - in the upper part of the body we denote a circle - there will be a waist and chest. From this circle we draw two sticks - these are future hands. We begin to draw the lower part of the body (where the hem will be) more clearly.
Step 3 We begin to detail the drawing: we add sleeves and mittens to the hands. Do not forget to make fur on the sleeves. At the same stage, we draw a face - the expression on the face of the Snow Maiden is always kind, with a smile.
Step 4 Now it's time to draw the collar on the fur coat, which is located between the upper body and the head. Also draw a kokoshnik hat as shown in the picture.
Step 5 At this stage, the image of the Snow Maiden is almost ready. We draw a braid with a bow for the granddaughter of Santa Claus, as in the picture, and draw the lower part of the fur coat (fur, dress and hem of the fur coat). We erase all extra lines with an eraser, in some places you can draw folds.
Step 6 Let's paint what we've got. This option black and white, but of course you can use colored pencils, felt-tip pens, paints. Traditionally, the clothes of the Snow Maiden are blue or white color and golden hair.

Who is this?…
Only our Grandfather Frost has a granddaughter Snegurochka and she was born in Russia. Snow Maiden is literary character. Soon after the hero Ded Moroz appeared in the life of Russians, in 1873 he had a young assistant, at first positioned as a daughter, the Snow Maiden. This happened thanks to the play by Alexander Ostrovsky "The Snow Maiden", which he created on the basis of folk tale about a girl fashioned from snow and melted by the warm rays of the sun. Later, writers and poets turned her into a granddaughter. lyrical, beautiful story many liked about the Snow Maiden. Well-known philanthropist Savva Ivanovich Mamontov wanted to put it on the home stage of the Abramtsevo circle in Moscow. The premiere took place on January 6, 1882. Costume designs for her were made by V. M. Vasnetsov (in a light sundress with a hoop or headband), and three years later famous artist makes new sketches for staging opera of the same name N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov.
Two more were related to the creation of the appearance of the Snow Maiden. famous artist. M. A. Vrubel in 1898 created the image of the Snow Maiden for a decorative panel in the house of A. V. Morozov (in white clothes woven from snow and down, lined with ermine fur). Later, in 1912, N. K. Roerich (in a fur coat) presented his vision of the Snow Maiden, who participated in the production of a dramatic play about the Snow Maiden in St. Petersburg.
The story of a girl from the snow who came to people became more and more popular and fit very well into the programs of the city's Christmas trees. Gradually, the Snow Maiden becomes a permanent character of the holidays as an assistant to Santa Claus. This is how a special Russian custom of celebrating Christmas with the participation of Santa Claus and his beautiful and smart granddaughter is born.
After the repressions of 1927-1935, the Snow Maiden disappeared for a long time and, as a constant companion of Grandfather, she was revived only in the early 1950s thanks to the efforts of the children's classics Lev Kassil and Sergei Mikhalkov, who wrote scripts for the Kremlin Christmas trees. Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden entered public life countries as obligatory attributes of the meeting of the upcoming New Year. The place of her birth is disputed today by two settlements Russia: Kostroma region, where Ostrovsky wrote his famous fairy tale, and St. Petersburg, where he created his immortal opera Rimsky-Korsakov.
What is she, our Snow Maiden ?!
The young girl is a child of Frost and Spring. She is pure as White snow but her cold soul did not know love. Heart beautiful girl strive upward to discover this feeling. But at the very moment when love is revealed to her heart, she must perish. The purest creation, which combines both the earthly and the unearthly, so enchants the soul of the artist that it becomes real, embodied on the canvas of the master.
As a rule, artists paint the image of the Snow Maiden in cold colors. The purest untouched snow that accompanies the girl, as it were, reflects the purity of the girl's soul and the coldness of her heart. Her wonderful face radiates purity and tenderness. This beautiful image masters of painting complement a young girl with a wonderful traditional Russian folk costume(sundress, shirt or fur coat). And the headdress, the kokoshnik, gives the image of the Snow Maiden femininity and tenderness.
She is charming, even nature itself admires the beauty of its creation.
Let's try and create the image of a girl from a fairy tale. Let's do a bust portrait. The portrait shows appearance(and through it inner world) of a person, in our case, a literary hero.
So, we make a sketch with a pencil.
The human head is oval, broader at the top and narrower at the bottom. It is correct, the same with the left and right side, i.e. symmetrical.
Draw a vertical line in the middle of the sheet, this will help draw the correct oval.
The face is divided into three parts:
1 forehead, 2 eyes. nose, 3- lips, chin.
Let's draw horizontal lines.
Riddles will help us in further work.
My brother lives behind the mountain,
Don't meet me.
On the top line draw the eyebrows, below - the eyes.
The shape of the eyes consists of arcuate lines (upper and lower eyelids). We outline the eyelashes, the pupil.
Who am i?
Always with you,
Even stand, even sit -
Always ahead.
The nose is located in the middle of the sheet. The bridge of the nose comes from the eyebrows (draw a smooth arcuate line). The crown of the nose is rounded, on the side we draw the wings of the nose, we denote the nostrils.
There are two brothers
velvet kaftans,
red outfits,
live nearby,
That will converge
They will disperse
Warmly embrace -
Fight hard.
Draw a mouth below the nose.
On the sides at the level of the nose, draw the ears.
Don't sow, don't plant
And they grow up.
We draw a "cap" of hair, we outline a braid.
By the way, in Rus', unmarried girls wore one braid. Good, thick hair was highly valued as it spoke of strength and health. We can say that the expression "braid - girlish beauty"had a quite literal meaning - the one with the longest braid was considered best bride. And so the girls tried their best to make their braid grow thick.
We outline the line of the shoulders, the collar of the shirt, we designate the shape of the kokoshnik, jewelry.
Usually the kokoshnik was worn on holidays. Unlike kichka and magpie, which were worn only married women, the kokoshnik could be worn including unmarried girls. It was made to order by professional craftswomen - "kokoshnitsy", who had the skills to sew with pearls, beads, gold thread and the ability to handle factory fabrics. Kokoshniks were carefully kept in the family and passed on by inheritance.
On the shirt, embroidery went along the bottom of the hem, the bottom of the sleeves, on the chest and collar, i.e. physical body And internal energies are completely protected by the symbols of the Family - all grandfathers, grandmothers, great-grandfathers, the whole Family to the beginning, all the power goes to the Amulet. The collar of a women's shirt is fastened with a button or buckle, and the girl's is tied inward with a braided rope.
Speaking about the choice of color, we remind you that we create the image of a girl with the help of delicate, cold shades.
This material is very interesting, they work and professional artists, and lovers. We consider it appropriate to use wax crayons V children's creativity. Works are bright, juicy.
Tell us how they should work. Chalk can be drawn in different ways. The sharp edge leaves clear bright lines. When you draw with one end for a long time, edges form on it and the lines left by them are softer.
There is another very interesting trick work: for this you need to take the crayon with three fingers parallel to the sheet of paper and leave a wide colored spot with the edge. Large areas of color can be covered in this way.
We make a color accent on the eyes, make a portrait of the Snow Maiden, outline an ornament on clothes and a kokoshnik.
Covering the background watercolor paints, we choose the colors to taste, until the paints have dried, sprinkle our picture with rock salt. Salt creates incredible effect by absorbing the pigment from the paint as it dries.
After the paint layer dries, gently shake off the salt. We arrange the picture in a frame.
We bring to your attention the work of students of the Municipal Educational Institution "Gymnasium No. 19" of Saransk.
Winter night, fabulous,
I will go out into the street.
From a land of mystery
I'll call the Snow Maiden.
Twirl, twirl
There is a blizzard above me.
Maybe the fairy tale will come true
Believe - do not believe.
The tale of a distant childhood -
snow beauty
Heart hurt,
I can't deal with it.
Thin reed mill,
Like ice fingers
Girls remember you
Boys love you.
You are white in winter
Born on the sidelines
Where on the hills are the brave
Christmas trees made friends.
Among the whole neighborhood
Villages - mothers
Better no helper
Beloved grandmother.
But, in the melting spring
You trust fate
And a small snowflake
You will melt again in the evening.
When he meets a dream in the grass -
Winter dream oak tree,
They will be waiting for you
Grandfather and grandmother.
The windows are painted
Silver frost.
- Don't ask anything
Say the sky is blue.
Wait for autumn
The moons are colorful
The world will be decorated with gray hair
The pearls are innumerable.
Winter night, fabulous,
I'll go out into the street
From a land of mystery
I'll call the Snow Maiden.
Twirl, twirl
Above me is a blizzard
Maybe the fairy tale will come true
I will hope.

The New Year is coming soon and I want to decorate my home, draw beautiful New Year cards, give gifts to all your family and friends. A handmade gift is doubly appreciated. So in order to do beautiful postcard with your own hands, you need to learn how to draw a Snow Maiden.
How to draw a Snow Maiden step by step
To learn how to draw this fairy-tale character, prepare a sheet of white paper, a simple pencil and an eraser.
And we will draw in stages:
- Do you know what the Snow Maiden looks like? This is a slender young girl dressed in a beautiful blue fur coat with white fur. She has Blue eyes and a long white braid. On her feet are beautiful boots, and on her head is a cute hat to match the outfit;
- You should always start drawing from the top of the object. In this case, it's the head. Visually, it is necessary to divide a sheet of paper into 4 zones and in the upper part in the middle of 2 squares mark the outline of the head with a pencil. An oval can be drawn both straight and at a slight slope;
- after you have drawn the head, you need to mark 5 strokes along the height of the oval, so that later it will be easier to navigate in order to draw the limbs;
- the next step is to draw the line of the body: draw a thin line with a pencil from the chin down. Divide the oval into 4 parts with thin strokes: mark 2 lines crosswise;
- now you can draw the eyes, based on the first horizontal line, a smile is drawn in the same way. Then we move on to drawing the torso: we outline the contours of the body, drawing more of the right side of the torso. We draw a leg so that the Snow Maiden is located in half a turn. We draw the hips, although they will be hidden from view under the fur coat. But we do not skip this stage in order to observe all the proportions of the female body;
- we return to the oval to draw more clear outlines of the eyes, draw the nose and complete the strokes by drawing the kokoshnik. It should be located on the same level with the eyes of the Snow Maiden;
- the contours of the body are indicated, so you can draw right hand and draw the contours of the fur coat. Do not forget that Grandfather Frost's granddaughter wears mittens, so we draw a mitten, do not forget to draw the fur on the mitten and fur coat, and then draw the details of the kokoshnik. We go down to indicate the height of the Snow Maiden's boots and again return to drawing the details. You need to draw a braid, it should be slightly thicker than the girl's hand. If you don’t like something at this stage, try to erase the strokes and draw the contours of the body again to achieve ideal proportions;
- draw the left hand and move on to decorating the girl's costume. We draw patterns on a fur coat and a kokoshnik, paint a sketch with paints or colored pencils.
We teach a child to draw a Snow Maiden
Children can also be taught to draw a Snow Maiden, only this will be a slightly simplified drawing:
- Visually draw a sheet of paper into 4 squares: in the middle in the upper segment you need to draw an oval with a pencil - this will be the head of the Snow Maiden.
- The next step is drawing the torso.
- The hardest part is drawing small parts: cap, hands, collar, shirt-front and braid.
- When these details are ready, you can erase the excess, draw the lips, nose and eyes of the Snow Maiden, and then color the pencil sketch.
On New Year's Eve, many people need to draw the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus. That is why I made this tutorial two weeks before the new year 2014. I offer you "my" version of how to draw a Snow Maiden in stages. Despite the fact that the lesson was completed on graphics tablet, it can be used for the picture of the Snow Maiden with a simple pencil.
To beautiful draw a Snow Maiden, try first to draw the girl's face on a separate piece of paper, and then take up the drawing of the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus on a large sheet of drawing 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 be easily colored with paints or colored pencils.
1. Initial contours
To make it easier for you draw Snow Maiden make some simple markup. Divide the square into four sections and draw the initial outlines of the drawing.
2. The contours of the hands and head
I think it will be easy for you to draw the initial contours for the hands and head of the Snow Maiden. The main thing is not to press 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 already superfluous initial pencil lines and proceed to the details of the Snow Maiden's drawing.
4. Drawing of the Snow Maiden in detail
It may seem that this stage of the drawing is complicated. In fact, there is nothing complicated to draw here. Take a closer look, you just need to draw the edge for 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 correctly and beautifully draw the face of the Snow Maiden, then it will not be difficult to draw the remaining small details. Do not forget to draw a braid for the girl.
6. Drawing of the Snow Maiden with a 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 do not need this, then you can simply shade the drawing with a simple soft pencil.
7. Drawing of the Snow Maiden on the tablet
Of course, the drawing on the tablet looks impressive, but you can use oil paints or colored pencils using color scheme my drawing of the Snow Maiden on the tablet. Be sure to draw next Christmas tree and Santa Claus.
For foreigners, the New Year is inextricably linked with another fairy tale character- a reindeer named Rudolf. It is the deer that brings Santa Claus with gifts to children.
At the top of the Christmas tree you need to draw a five-pointed star. To draw a Christmas star correctly, use this lesson.
Any drawing of a snowflake has the correct geometric shape and therefore it is better to draw with a ruler. Are there any snowflake patterns? Of course not, each snowflake is unique and has one single crystal form.
The squirrel is often also a character New Year's holiday. In any case, if you draw a squirrel next to Santa Claus 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, fixing your impressions on a piece of paper.
The granddaughter of Santa Claus can be drawn in any way. For example, in this lesson, the girl will confidently skate, cutting through a layer of ice under her. In such an illustration, winter is felt festive mood, because she has skates, warm mittens and a coat, as well as a chic kokoshnik.
Necessary materials:
- - pencils;
- - eraser;
- - paper.
Drawing steps:
1. Cheerful girl We begin to draw the Snow Maiden simple geometric shapes. Here is the head on a piece of paper in the form of a circle, but just below the silhouette of a winter coat in the form of a dress.
2. Let's add a beautiful outline of the Snow Maiden's New Year's outfit - a kokoshnik - on her head. On the sides of the body we draw the hands that are in the sleeves of the coat and mittens. We begin to draw the girl's legs.
3. The Snow Maiden is skating. Therefore, we draw the silhouette of the legs, where the right one is bent to the side. We do not wear boots, but skates with a sharp blade to easily ride them. Let's complement the little coat with small details over its entire surface.
4. We draw a kokoshnik, add a few snowflakes to it for decoration. We will also draw a long braid on the right side of the picture for the Snow Maiden. The main decoration on the hair of the granddaughter of Santa Claus will be a large bow.
5. Now you can draw the hair under the kokoshnik and all the facial features: a small nose, mouth, small eyes. Near the skates at the bottom winter pattern add lines from the sharp blade on the rink.
6. There are a lot of elements in this drawing of blue color. For example, a kokoshnik on the head and a winter coat. We paint over them with a light blue pencil to get the base color.
7. Dark blue flowers let's complete the picture so that the details of the clothes and the headdress are of a bright saturated shade.
8. We color the hair and braid of the Snow Maiden with yellow and orange pencils to get a red tint.
9. Paint over mittens and shoes brown flowers which have honey, red and burgundy hues. But with a red pencil you can color the bow in the braid.
10. We paint over all parts of the girl's skin with light pink, sand and burgundy colors.
11. Now you can take a black pencil, which should color all the lines of the picture.
We get a lovely drawing of the Snow Maiden with colored pencils. The granddaughter of Santa Claus herself enjoys skating and is already waiting for the New Year 2018 to congratulate everyone with her grandfather on winter holidays and give gifts.
