2. Add a floppy hat
Curve up from the band, then let the pointed end flop to one side. Add a round pompom.
3. Shape the face and ears
Draw two little ears and curve the cheeks down towards the beard.
4. Draw the nose and moustache
Add an oval nose. Sweep two curly moustache shapes out to the sides.
5. Make a fluffy beard
Join the cheeks with a big beard. Give its edge a few soft bumps.
6. Finish the happy face
Add eyes, eyebrows and a small smile. Two short curls give the beard extra fluff.
Finished? That’s just the beginning.
Try a different colour, add a snowy background, or turn your drawing into a card for someone you love. It doesn’t need to look exactly like ours.
