How to draw a kid in Christmas pajamas step by step
How to Draw a Kid in Christmas Pajamas · tinyhandscreate.com
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: Sides of the head
Draw two curved lines that face each other, like a pair of parentheses, for the left and right sides of the head. Leave the top and the bottom open for now.
Step 3: The Santa hat
Draw a long rounded band across the top of the head, like a sausage with round ends. Then draw a big curved dome above it that swoops up and bends over to the right, ending in a little point.
Step 4: The pom-pom
At the little point of the hat, draw a small circle for the pom-pom.
Step 5: Chin and pajama top
Under the head, draw a curved line across for the chin. Then draw a box with a slightly curved bottom for the pajama top, with its top sides starting under the chin.
Step 6: Waving and resting arms
On the left, draw a bent arm that waves up and ends in a small round hand. On the right, draw one curved line that slopes down from the shoulder for the other arm.
Step 7: Two oval shoes
Below the pajama top, draw two wide ovals side by side for the shoes. Let them touch in the middle.
Step 8: Start of the teddy bear
Next to the end of the right arm, draw the top of a little bear head with wavy ears. Then add a small squiggly line near the bottom for the bear's feet.
Step 9: Face and pajama details
Add two dots for eyes and a small curved smile on the face. On the pajamas, draw a row of dots for buttons and short stripes on each side. Add two short lines for legs above the shoes, then finish the bear with its face, body and paw held by the right hand.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in Christmas pajamas
- Draw the hat band as a long rounded sausage shape first, then add the dome on top so the hat sits snugly on the head.
- The waving arm is the trickiest part. Draw it as a bent tube, starting at the shoulder and ending in a small round hand.
- Draw the teddy bear small, with a round head and two ears, so it stays neat next to the big kid.

The teddy bear is named after U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. A cartoon in 1902 showed him refusing to shoot a bear on a hunting trip, and toy makers soon began selling "Teddy's bears."
Questions about drawing a kid in Christmas pajamas
What shapes do I need to draw a kid in Christmas pajamas?
You need two curved lines for the sides of the head, a dome and a long rounded band for the hat, a box for the pajama top, and ovals for the shoes. A small circle makes the pom-pom, and the teddy bear is a little round head with ears and a small body.

Let the dome curve up and then bend over to one side, ending with a round pom-pom. A curved line instead of a straight one makes the hat look soft.

Place the eyes wide apart with a small smile between them, and give the kid a big round head. Adding a teddy bear to hold makes the drawing feel extra sweet.
