All right, let's add in Santa Clause's shoulder. Well actually our Santa Clause is gonna be having a big bag of toys. So what we're gonna do is actually first, start off with a hand, kind of up in a fist and we're gonna take down there and then kind of bring Santa slightly hunched over with the shoulder area. Now notice I'm going over this very lightly because I want to make sure I have the angles right and everything is looking very good on it. So, I mean don't feel you have to etch the paper with any type of pencil. Really and this is like the pencil part of it, is all about guidelines. So, keep in mind, Santa has gloves on, so you're gonna want to have that and also should have wear his coat sleeves like right here where it meets the glove. The wrist region, has like a little bit like more white fuzz. It's more of that fur line that makes Santa Clause so famous. So, you're gonna want to make sure that you have that hand in there. And also his other hand over here is more understated because it is less it's less in action than the other hand which is gonna be holding in the bag we'll be drawing in eventually.
