How to Draw Santa Eating Cookies
Draw Santa eating cookies in 14 steps, about 11 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: egg head.
Step 1: Egg head
Near the top, in the middle, draw an egg for the head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Leave the lower half for the table, and room beside the head.
Step 2: The face
Below the middle, draw 2 big round eyes with black dots. Add a round nose and a small open smile.
Step 3: Santa hat
Above the eyes, draw a fluffy band from the left across to the right. Add a floppy hat and pompom.
Tip The hat flops over to the right, and the pompom sits on its tip.
Step 4: Beard and moustache
Draw a bow-shaped moustache under the nose. Then a big U beard from cheek to cheek, down to the chest.
Tip The moustache covers the top of the smile.
Step 5: Arms
From the beard, draw 2 sleeves with round elbows, stopping at the wrists. The left bends down, the right up.
Tip Make each sleeve thinner at the wrist, with a cuff line. The inside lines stop under the arms.
Step 6: Coat and belt
From under each arm, draw a straight side down to a bottom line. Add a belt with a square buckle.
Step 7: Mittens and a cookie
Draw a round mitten on each wrist: left pointing in, right pointing up. Above the right, draw a bitten cookie.
Tip Add 3 chocolate chips, and 2 little scoops for the bite. The cookie tucks behind the mitten.
Step 8: The table
Draw a long table top under the arms, a short leg from each end, and a ground line past them.
Tip The table hides the bottom of the coat. The left mitten rests on it.
Step 9: Milk and cookies
On the table's left, draw a tall glass with a milk line. On its right, a plate with 3 cookies.
Tip The glass is narrower at the bottom. The plate's left end goes in front of the coat.
Step 10: Chocolate chips
Dot 3 chocolate chips on each cookie on the plate, in a little triangle.
Step 11: White fur and milk
Colour the hat band, pompom, beard, moustache, mittens and milk white. Leave the eyes white too.
Step 12: Peach face, pink cheeks
Colour the face peach around the eyes. Colour the cheeks, nose and smile pink.
Step 13: Tan cookies, sky plate
Colour all the cookies tan, and the plate sky blue.
Step 14: Red suit, black belt
Colour the hat, coat and sleeves red, around the plate. Colour the table brown, then the belt black.
