How to draw a kid with a Christmas wreath step by step
How to Draw a Kid with a Christmas Wreath · 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: Cheek curves
Draw two curved lines that look like the bottom corners of a big round head. Leave a wide gap at the top and a gap in the middle at the bottom.
Step 3: The headband
Draw a big curved arch over the top of the head, like a rainbow. Then draw a second, smaller arch just inside it to make the headband.
Step 4: Ear muffs and face
Draw a small circle on each side of the head for the ear muffs. Add two little dots for eyes and a small curved smile. Then add a few small berry dots and two little loops on the sides for hands, and a tiny bow with two loops at the bottom.
Step 5: The bumpy wreath edge
Under the chin, draw a wavy line for the top of the fluffy wreath. Then draw bumpy lines down both sides to make a puffy round shape around the berries.
Step 6: The wreath hole
In the middle of the wreath, draw a big circle for the hole. Keep it round and let it fill the center.
Step 7: The shoes
At the very bottom, draw two flat ovals side by side for the shoes.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid with a Christmas wreath
- Start with the two cheek curves and leave the top open, then add the headband arches so they follow the same curve as the top of the head.
- The wreath edge is the trickiest part. Make small, bumpy waves instead of one smooth line, and it will look fluffy.
- Draw the big center circle of the wreath slowly, and keep the berry dots evenly spaced around it, two on each side.

Questions about drawing a kid with a Christmas wreath
What shapes do I need to draw a kid with a wreath?
You mostly need circles and ovals. Use curved lines for the head, small circles for the ear muffs, a big ring for the wreath hole, and two flat ovals for the shoes.
How do I make the wreath look fluffy?
Draw the outside edge with lots of small bumps, like a cloud, instead of a smooth line. The little berry dots inside make it look even more like a real wreath.
How do I make my kid drawing look cuter?
Keep the eyes small and set them wide apart, then add a simple curved smile. Making the head big compared to the body is an easy trick for a cute look.
