How to draw a kid in a Christmas tree costume step by step
How to Draw a Kid in a Christmas Tree Costume · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The round head
Draw a big circle that is a little wider than it is tall. Leave a small gap at the top where the hat will go.
Step 3: The headband
Draw a gently curved line across the upper part of the head, from one side to the other. It arches up like a rainbow and closes off the hat.
Step 4: The star
In the gap at the top of the head, draw a small five-point star. Start at the top point and zigzag down and around until the star is closed.
Step 5: Face and tree top
Add two dots for eyes and a little curved smile. Then draw two slanted lines from under the head to make the top of the tree, add small round hands at each side, and draw little rings for ornaments, a wavy garland, and two short leg lines at the bottom.
Step 6: The arms
Draw a curved line on each side of the tree, from the shoulder out toward the round hand. Each one makes a bent arm.
Step 7: Tree skirt
Draw a wide zigzag band across the lower part of the tree. Make pointy branches that stick out a little on both sides.
Step 8: The shoes
At the bottom of the short legs, draw two wide, flat ovals for shoes. Let them almost touch in the middle.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in a Christmas tree costume
- Draw the star lightly first. Make a small plus sign, then connect five points around it so the star stays even.
- Draw the ornaments as small rings and space them out so the tree does not look crowded.
- Start the zigzag edge at one side and work across, making each point about the same size.
