Start by drawing a large U-shape for Santa’s face.
Draw a large fluffy cloud shape wrapping around and under the U-shape for his big bushy beard.
Draw a fluffy shape resting on top of his head for the hat brim, and add the curved top of the hat.
Draw a fluffy pom-pom at the end of the hat, and add a small line for a fold in the fabric.
Draw an oval nose directly in the middle of his face.
Draw two mustache shapes curving outwards and downwards from right under the nose.
Draw two small dot eyes above the nose.
Draw a small curved line peeking out from under the mustache for his jolly smiling mouth.
Color his hat classic red, his nose rosy pink, his skin peach, and leave his beard, mustache, and hat fluff bright white! Ho ho ho!
