3 Step Guide

1
Using a brush and some red paint, draw a large, thick arc that runs across the forehead and curves under the right eye. This will form Santa’s hat, so it can be a bit uneven and rumpled like fabric.

2
Take a clean brush with some white paint and draw a thick stripe just above the eyebrows and touching the red of the hat. Then draw a white pompom on the red tip underneath the eyes. To make the white bits look extra fuzzy, you can go over them with a sponge covered in white paint.

Finally, use a thin brush and some black paint to outline the hat and white fur. Merry Christmas.

Using a sponge and some white paint, draw two think arches at the top corners of the browline. Then draw an inverted triangle between the eyes. Now take a brush and black paint and draw a thick line at the top of the triangle. Then outline the white arch on the right and bring the stripe right down onto the cheek. Do the same with the other one, then take a sponge and some yellow, dabbing the colour on the triangle tip.

With a thin brush and some orange, outline the yellow section of the triangle to form a beak. On the cheek at the end of each black stripe, draw four lines to make toes and colour in the space between them to make webbed feet. Now outline the beak in black, draw some nostrils and then outline the toes.
