It's time to plunge headlong into a fairy tale and remember the good old characters - Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden! These heroes are considered one of the most important characters new year holidays without which it is impossible to imagine winter celebrations. On the eve of the New Year, both adults and children are visited by an inspirational festive mood, and in various institutions, especially educational ones, children are asked to draw Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden, but who will tell and show in detail how to do this? That is why in early December I sat down at a sheet of paper with colored pencils to show everyone how to draw Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in stages. Let's get started!
I want to note that this lesson will help children and teenagers draw a beautiful New Year's card with their own hands or come up with a creative thematic drawing!
What you need for this:
- paper white color(you can use an album for drawing or a sketch book);
- a simple pencil with an approximate hardness - HB;
- eraser;
- colour pencils;
- Christmas mood!
- If we place Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden on the same sheet, we need to do this so that they do not “crash” into each other and therefore mark out their approximate outlines on the sheet, as in the example in the picture. No precision is needed here, we just need to know where our heroes will be located, whether they will go beyond the sheet, and so on.
- To beautifully draw Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in stages with a pencil, you first need to focus on one of our characters. Let's start with Grandpa: take a simple pencil and draw the shape of a hat with a head and a beard. Make a silhouette like in picture 2.
- We draw the hands of Santa Claus. In this case, we are lucky - here we do not need to draw fingers and palms, but just need to repeat the shape of the mittens. We draw hands, as in the picture, as if Santa Claus will then hold a bag in his hands. Do not forget to draw fur on the sleeves and on the top of the hat.
- Now comes one of the easiest parts of our process: we draw a bag behind Grandfather's back and proceed to draw the lower part of his suit.
- Below we will draw the shoes of Santa Claus. In picture 5, she is drawn as if he were walking. We draw all the other details of his costume and begin to draw a face. This will be much easier for us than it seems: for this we need to draw a dividing line between the beard, nose and cheeks. By drawing this line, Grandfather's cheeks and nose will automatically appear. Draw a mouth under the nose on the beard, and draw oval and oblong eyebrows under the cap. We can draw eyes in the following way: draw ovals and dots in them (as in example 5), but it is enough for children to draw just dots. In the corners of the eyes, draw two lines leading to the temples - these will be the wrinkles that arise from a smile.
- Do not forget that we are Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden together, so we move on to drawing our beauty and start from the head. We draw the shape of the face, on top - strands of hair, and even higher - a kokoshnik or cap. It all depends on what headdress you and your child wear to represent the Snow Maiden.
- Now we draw a suit, we start at once from the head. Draw fur on the shoulders and sleeves, arms slightly apart. And we also make mittens according to the principle, like Grandfather's.
- Another very easy stage- draw the lower part of the Snow Maiden's costume and her shoes.
- It is very easy to draw the costumes of the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus step by step if you follow the examples in the pictures. But if you want to draw more complex pattern with Santa Claus, then you should read our article.
And in this case, it remains just to draw small strokes in the fur area to indicate the villi. And let's move on to the face. We draw the eyes according to the same principle as for Santa Claus: ovals with dots inside or just dots. On top of the oval or dots we draw cilia, above them - eyebrows. In order to draw a nose, you do not need to make a lot of effort, we have it like a tick turned on its side. We draw a mouth almost the same as that of Santa Claus.
- Now you know how to draw New Year's Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden in stages and it remains to decorate our heroes! To do this, you can continue to follow these tips:
- For face painting, take pink and orange color and sketch, barely pressing on the pencil. This way you get a flesh and natural skin tone. On the cheeks, add red or raspberry.
- To sketch the fur, take a blue pencil and paint on the edges, leaving the middle white, as in the picture.
The rest of the decorations and the color of the costumes depend only on your imagination. For example, we took a photo drawn by Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
On New Year's Eve, many people face the question of how to draw Santa Claus? A drawing of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden will be needed for the New Year's wall newspaper and for greeting card original, " self made". But drawing a person is not easy, you need to keep the proportions exactly, and most importantly draw a face correctly so that your drawing of Santa Claus does not look like very childish pictures. However, drawing Santa Claus is easier to do, because he is dressed in a long fur coat and hat and has long beard and even more so if you draw it in stages. Let's try to draw together step by step with a simple pencil Santa Claus.
1. Initial contours of the drawing
Any artist, before drawing, first makes general sketch future drawing. Marks where certain parts of the picture will be located and only after that draws the details, carefully checking the proportions. Let's go before draw Santa Claus, we will do the same. First, let's draw a very approximate outline of the drawing of Santa Claus from three parts. Namely: a circle for the head, big circle for the chest and outline the floors of the fur coat with light lines of a simple pencil.
2. Add contours for the hands
You can see that in my drawing, the first steps always resemble drawings. prehistoric people. But let's not pay attention to this and continue to draw step by step after me. Now draw the hands of Santa Claus. The joints of the arms and legs are very convenient to draw with the help of "balls". Where there will be a thickening, draw a circle more and vice versa. This method allows you to accurately maintain the proportions of the shape and thickness of the arms and legs. Pay attention to the length of the arm from the elbow and its position. The elbow of the hand should be at the level of the waist (belt).
3. The general contour of the fur coat and hands
See how easy it is now to circle general outline fur coats and hands focusing on the "balls". Make sure that the thickness of both arms is the same, and draw in right hand magic staff. Add additional details to the drawing and delete now the extra contours. In practice, Santa Claus is almost drawn, it remains only to draw in detail the head and beard.
4. Head and beard of Santa Claus
At first, you just need to outline where the eyes, nose and mouth will be located, and then, already in detail, draw Santa Claus in a hat with a tassel. Drawing a beard at this stage of the drawing will not be difficult for you, just like the rest small parts faces and clothes.
5. How to draw a face
Since the main attention in the drawing of Santa Claus is still attracted by his clothes, the face can be drawn only in in general terms without drawing details. But the fur coat and the staff must be drawn carefully so that Santa Claus is elegant and handsome. Do not forget to draw peeking felt boots at the bottom of the fur coat.
6. Drawing of Santa Claus. The final stage
New Year Santa Claus drawing must be bright and colorful, so the drawing must be painted with colored pencils. If you know how to use paints, then it is advisable to draw Santa Claus larger, on a large sheet of paper. Bright and rich colors of paint will greatly decorate new year drawing. If your drawing should have Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, leave space on a sheet of paper in advance and draw the Snow Maiden before you start coloring the entire drawing with colored pencils or paints.
The drawing of the Snow Maiden is made on graphics tablet step by step. You can use this lesson to draw a Snow Maiden with a regular pencil.
To draw beautiful Christmas tree, you must definitely decorate its crown with an asterisk and draw a lot of bright toys on the needles. In order to create the mood of the upcoming New Year holiday in the picture with the Christmas tree, draw Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden next to it.
Any snowflake drawing has a correct geometric shape and therefore it is better to draw with a ruler. Are there any snowflake patterns? No, of course, each snowflake is unique and has one single crystal form.
Kind Santa Claus has become a symbol of the New Year. IN new year's eve he quietly sneaks through the chimney or other hidden places with a large bag of gifts to each house to congratulate adults and children on the holiday. Under the decorated Christmas tree, he leaves each packed boxes with cherished gifts for each family member. You should start drawing such a New Year's character from a sketch, where a figure is drawn from the top of the head or a New Year's hat-cap to the very heels, where he has warm boots. coloring ready contour drawing follows the brightest colored pencils with a soft lead that will be easy to apply desired color on pieces of paper.

Drawing steps:
1. To draw the most important element in the drawing, take the HB pencil and draw a circle. This will be the outline of the beard and face. Draw an arc to the top of the outline to start drawing a New Year's cap.
2. We draw the main part of the cap and add a bubo in the form of a small circle to its tip. From the contour of the beard, draw lines to the sides that will become the shoulders and arms of the grandfather. Next, draw the bottom contour of the fur coat in the form of a rectangle without the top line.
3. To the drawn lines, let's add more contours of the hands, where fur inserts and mittens should be added. On the main part of the coat we draw two vertical lines center and two side pockets. From the bottom line of the fur coat, we begin to draw the legs in the pants.
4. We draw insulated pants on the grandfather’s legs and “shoe” him in boots. We create fur inserts on a fur coat and a headdress in the form of arched lines.
5. Now we move on to drawing the face, where we outline the circle. We fit two tiny eyes and one nose, eyebrows and a thick mustache into it. We decorate the lower part of the hat with berries and leaves of Christmas mistletoe.
6. We paint over the main part of the hat-cap and fur coat with a red pencil. You should also make berries on the headdress in this color.
7. With a dark red pencil with a pink tint, we add shadow and volume to the already painted areas of the picture.
8. Paint over the face with a beige pencil. And to acquire a delicate natural skin tone on the face of Santa Claus, you should take a pink and yellow-orange pencil.
9. With green shades we create color on the pants, mittens and mistletoe leaves. For volume in these areas of the picture, we use more dark color green.
10. Shoes on the feet of Santa Claus will be brown. We immediately use a couple of colored pencils of this shade.
11. Paint over small areas of fur inserts blue pencil to give a slight tint.
12. Finally, we use black liners, with which we create a shadow using hatching and a general outline.
So we get a drawing of Santa Claus for the New Year, which is created on a white sheet of paper using green, red, brown and pastel shades of pencils.
