Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: Ear and face outline
Draw a pointy, leaf-shaped ear on the left. From its bottom, curve a line down and around to make the rounded bottom of the face, ending on the right side.
Step 3: Hat and other ear
Draw a rounded hat shape on top of the head with a straight line across the bottom for the brim. Then draw the second leaf-shaped ear on the right.
Step 4: Face and hat details
Give your llama two round dot eyes, then draw a small rounded snout low on the face with a little smile inside it. Add a short stripe across the hat and a tiny curl on top for the pom-pom.
Step 5: The long neck
Draw two wobbly, fluffy lines going down from the head, one on each side. Keep them about the same distance apart, like a tall tube.
Step 6: Cozy scarf
Draw a short curved line across the neck, just below the head, for a scarf.
Step 7: The body
Draw a big, wide oval lying on its side. The bottom of the neck should meet it near the left end.
Step 8: Four legs
Draw two tall, skinny loops hanging down from the front of the body and two more from the back. Each leg looks like an upside-down U.
Step 9: Holiday blanket
On the llama's back, draw a box shape with a curved bottom edge that sits on the body. Add a zigzag line across the middle for a festive pattern.
Step 10: Little tail
At the right end of the body, draw a small round loop sticking out for the tail.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a Christmas llama
- Draw the ears and face outline lightly at first, so the hat and the second ear fit around them without squeezing.
- The neck is the trickiest part. Make the two sides wobbly and roughly the same length so the llama looks fluffy, not stiff.
- Draw the legs as tall U shapes with space between them, and keep them all about the same height so your llama stands steady.

Christmas llama fun fact for kids
Llamas hum to each other. They use soft humming sounds to talk to their babies and to show they are curious or a little worried.
