Christmas Pencil Drawings

Christmas drawings in pencil: a tree with a star, ornaments, a snowman, Santa, mittens, a mug of cocoa, gifts and little winter animals. They are simple line drawings, easy to copy into a sketchbook.

Start with the outline in an HB pencil, then add shading and details with a soft pencil. A drawing like this works for a Christmas card or a school contest, and you can color it later.

Questions and answers

What is the easiest Christmas pencil drawing?

An ornament, a mitten, a snowman or a gift. Their outlines are simple shapes with only a few details. Once they feel easy, move on to a decorated tree or Santa.

Which pencil should I use for a Christmas drawing?

A regular HB pencil is good for the outline: its lines are light and easy to erase. For shadows, use a soft 2B or 4B pencil, and keep white highlights on the ornaments and the snow with an eraser.

What can I add to a Christmas pencil drawing?

Snowflakes, falling snow, lights on the tree, ribbons on the gifts and a star on top. If the drawing is for a card, leave some space for a message.
