Draw a cartoon Santa face for homemade Christmas cards, quilts or ornaments. The budding artist or craft enthusiast can be sure that Santa's face is a central theme for holiday decorations and fun. Follow these steps to learn how to draw a cartoon Santa Claus face.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Sketch paper
  • Black permanent marker
  1. Step 1

    Gather supplies to draw a cartoon Santa Claus face. Use a pencil, an eraser and a clean piece of white sketch paper. Draw on a flat surface or drawing table.

  2. Step 2

    Draw five circles to make the nose and eyes. Begin with one circle for the nose in the center towards the top of the paper. Draw the eyes with two smaller circles touching each other and touching the nose.

  3. Step 3

    Fill in two smaller circles inside the eyes for the pupils. Embellish with a small cloud shape above each eye to represent eyebrows.

  4. Step 4

    Add Santa's mustache by creating two small banana shapes angled down and outwards from each other stemming out from the bottom of the nose.

  5. Step 5

    Illustrate Santa's mouth and make a U shape starting from the mid-point of one side of Santa's mustache to the other connecting them. Put an upside-down smaller U shape inside. This forms an open smile for Santa's mouth.

  6. Step 6

    Squiggle a wide U shaped line from the outside tip of one side of the mustache to the other for the beard. Trace with permanent black marker to finish.
