Santa Claus is the main magical character at the New Year holiday.

The image of Santa Claus in the photo is an old man in a bright fur coat, red or blue, less often in white. Santa Claus has a long fluffy white beard, and in his hands he always has a long staff.

Often Father Frost appears accompanied by his granddaughter Snegurochka.

For the first time in Russian literature, an image similar to Father Frost was formed in 1840 in the fairy tale “Moroz Ivanovich” by V. F. Odoevsky. Main character fairy tales, he lived in an icy country, the path to which ran through a well. But the fairy tale took place in spring, not winter. Also, Moroz Ivanovich did not give gifts to children.

The image of the modern giver of New Year's gifts to children, an analogue of the Western "Christmas grandfather", appeared in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. But it didn’t take root right away. There are references to the images of St. Nicholas or “Grandfather Nicholas” (1870), but these images did not take root.

Only at the beginning of the 20th century did the image of Santa Claus emerge, but it did not last long.

After the revolution, the image of Santa Claus was banned, as was Christmas tree. Special communist patrols walked the streets and peered into windows in search of dissidents celebrating Christmas.

How to draw Santa Claus with a pencil step by step for beginners and children?

So, now we will present a diagram 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

Let's draw the first Santa Claus on the right. It's easier to draw.

Step 1. Let's 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 is not hidden by the hat and beard). Then we draw the nose and eyes. We immediately add a hat on top.

Step 2. The hat is ready, let's move on to the eyebrows and mouth. The eyebrows are partially covered by the cap, so don't draw them too low. We draw the mouth strictly under the nose, retreating a very small distance.

Step 3. We draw the beard, tilting it slightly to the side to make the drawing more realistic. Mentally draw a straight invisible line from your nose perpendicularly downwards. Where the beard ends, the line becomes visible. Draw an even horizontal line from it in both directions below.

Step 4. Complete the trapezoid from the sides of the beard to the bottom horizontal line. Now draw the fur: step back from the vertical line in the center about one centimeter in both directions, draw two parallel lines, like on a picture. Also draw fur from the bottom in a semicircle, as shown in the picture.

Step 5. As shown in the picture, draw the arms and collar of Santa Claus. Keep in mind that your arms will be on top of your body, so have an eraser ready to erase any extra lines.

Step 6. Now we draw a bag with gifts and mittens. To draw a bag, draw a circle irregular shape with a sharp curl at the top. Draw your hands as shown in the picture.

Step 7 It remains to draw the details. We make the beard more realistic by adding additional vertical lines, similar to non-sharp teeth. We make several folds near the bag in the place where Santa Claus's hand is.

Santa Claus is almost ready!

Step 8 Now we color the grandfather and decorate his fur coat with stars.

Now we draw Santa Claus in a red fur coat, the one on the left. It's a little more difficult to draw.

Step 1. We draw a “sleep mask”, that is, the face of Santa Claus. We don't draw the eyes and the hat yet.

Step 2. We begin to draw the face: 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. directly above the eyes are the eyebrows.

Step 3. Draw a hat. First, we make a voluminous semicircle at the top of the head, then draw on the top of the hat.

Step 4. We begin to draw the body of Santa Claus. It should be quite voluminous. We repeat the lines shown in the picture. We don’t draw the hands yet, leaving just circles instead.

Step 5. Now we draw the beard and bag well. The beard should be quite realistic, so we give it a “sharp” contour, drawing in some hairs. Don't overdo it at this stage. After the beard, we begin to draw the bag that Santa Claus holds on his shoulder. At the same time, do not forget about the folds on this very bag. Make the hand that holds the bag more oblong and add a thumb.

Step 6. To the left of the head we finish drawing part of the bag. Drawing left hand and sleeve. Draw a staff consisting of a long stick and a snowflake at the top. Note that the staff widens towards the bottom, so do not 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 fur, drawing it inside the outline of the fur coat. We make the lines slightly smooth so that there are no sharp transitions.

Step 8 Santa Claus is almost ready. Using an eraser to get rid of invisible lines and make an outline fairy tale character more clear.

Step 9 We take colored pencils, felt-tip pens or paints and work out the entire drawing in color. We leave the fur on the fur coat, on the grandfather’s hat and his beard unpainted.

Here are a few more options for drawing Santa Claus that will look great on a New Year's card!

Now we’ll show you a few postcards with Santa Claus, which may serve as a source of inspiration for you.

How to draw the 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, tender and beautiful. He always accompanies his formidable grandfather, helps animals in the forest and gives out gifts.

Drawing the Snow Maiden is not very difficult. In this part of the article we will give examples of drawing the Snow Maiden step by step in two versions: childish and more realistic.

OPTION 1:

Step 1. Let's 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. Add a cap, not forgetting that all lines should be smooth. 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. The Snow Maiden's jewelry will include earrings in the shape of snowflakes, as well as a brooch on her hat. Don't forget to draw the eyebrows.

Step 4. Let's start drawing a fur coat. First, draw the collar from the ears down. Each side of the collar consists of two perpendicular lines. Directly in the center draw a straight line from the chin to the end vertical line, and below, a horizontal line perpendicular to it. 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. On the fur coat we draw fur frills running along the bottom and vertically. The fur should be drawn with smooth lines, do not try to draw it using a ruler. Keep perspective.

Step 7 We outline the middle of the fur coat. This can be done by eye, or you can measure it with a ruler. We draw a horizontal line in this place, which will serve as a guide for the hands. Now we draw the hands. They start from the collar and end exactly on the horizontal line that we just drew. A few centimeters above the line draw fur on the sleeves.

Step 8 Now we draw mittens of the same shape 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 simply skip this step.

Step 10 We finish drawing the Snow Maiden by 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 the decorations on the head and the silhouette of the body.

Step 2. Now we draw a “frame” - in the upper part of the body we designate 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: add sleeves and mittens to the arms. Don't forget to add fur on the sleeves. At the same stage we draw the face - the Snow Maiden’s facial expression 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 unnecessary lines with an eraser; in some places you can draw folds.

Step 6. Let's color what we got. This option black and white, but you, of course, can use colored pencils, markers, paints. Traditionally, the Snow Maiden's clothes are blue or white and her hair is golden.
