"All righty, Santa Clause has a bit of a big belly. Yeah he definitely goes on a hopefully diets after each Christmas season. So, what we're gonna do is make sure that definitely have this girth come out here, so it's gonna bulge out. And of course, also Santa has this big black belt with its golden buckle. You're gonna make sure that's also not left out. Now the other thing that you may, depending of the placement of the beard, you may have room for a button or two. Buttons are great for kind of tracing the contour of the stomach if they are exposed, but don't worry about them, I mean because I personally think the beard looks a lot more interesting than the buttons. It's also here that we can finish drawing in the arm now that we know where Santa's belly is going because the belly is going to be covering up a lot of that of arm. So, basically at this point all of our Santa Clause is done from the waist up and you can and you can just thinking about what is gonna be going on for the rest of the drawing and kind of go back and correct some things."
