"Santa needs a hat still is one of the things. Right now the top of his head looks like it's floating in another world, so let's add a hat in here. Santa has a nice fur end hat. So let's make sure and have that be a part of our drawing. And it's almost like you draw clouds. So, we can also make sure he has some of his side here and here too. And one of the big mistakes people do, is they like basically they'll draw the hat you know like super you know straight up. Know that Santa's hat is not at any gravity, so yea it'll go up a little bit and it'll start tapering back down. So make sure to catch that taper and we'll have a big, big, big, big fury white ball on the end of it. It'll eventually be white after we put the coloring in to finish up the hat. Sometimes poeple can like put like a bealer to it on the end. That's another thing you can do. It's just an option for you to keep in mind. Now with the hat done, you can kind of go back in and maybe add in a couple of additional affects. Couple of laugh wrinkles, underneath and to the side of the eyes maybe another laugh line and that is about it for the face."
