How to Draw a Santa Claus Face

1. Begin the Santa Claus face outline by drawing his eyes. Outline the eyes using curved lines. Then, shade a partial oval inside each eye to indicate the pupils. Draw a curved line between the eyes to suggest the bridge of the nose.

2. Draw an oval for the nose. Extend curved lines from it to form the top of the mustache. Then, draw a curved line above each eye to indicate the eyelid, and enclose the bushy, cloudlike eyebrows using curved lines.

3. Use a series of connected curved lines to outline the mustache. Then, draw a "U" shaped line below it to form the mouth.

4. Draw curved lines inside the mouth to indicate the tongue and teeth, and below it to form the chin. Then, sketch the sides of the beard using curved lines of different lengths that meet at jagged points.

5. Complete the beard using long, overlapping curved lines that meet at a point at the bottom.

6. Use curved lines to sketch the sides of the face and to detail around the mouth.

7. Use curved lines to trace the ears, detail within them, and draw the hair above them.

8. Draw Santa's hat. Enclose a curved rectangle at the top of the head, then draw a long curved line from one side of it.

Complete your Santa Claus face outline by using overlapping curved lines to finish enclosing the hat. Then, sketch the round pom pom at the tip.

Color your cartoon of Santa’s face. He typically has rosy cheeks, a white beard, and a red and white hat.
