You can draw lots of cute, easy Christmas things using very simple shapes. Here are step‑by‑step ideas you can follow with just a pencil and colors.
Super simple ideas
Try starting with these:
- Christmas tree
- Snowman
- Candy cane
- Present (gift box)
- Santa hat
Each one uses circles, squares, triangles, and curved lines only.
Easy Christmas tree
- Draw a small rectangle for the trunk.
- On top, draw three big triangles stacked (small on top, bigger in the middle, biggest at the bottom).
- Add a little star on top (or just a small circle).
- Draw circles for ornaments and a wavy line for tinsel.
- Color it green with colorful ornaments.
Easy snowman
- Draw three circles on top of each other: big, medium, small.
- Add two dots and a triangle nose on the top circle, plus a smile.
- Draw a scarf as a rectangle around the “neck” and two hanging strips.
- Add stick arms (just two lines each) and little circles for buttons.
- Color the scarf, nose, and buttons.
Easy candy cane
- Draw a long “J” shape.
- Draw the same “J” again right next to it and connect the ends, like a rounded stick.
- Add diagonal lines for stripes all the way down.
- Color the stripes red and leave the rest white.
Easy present (gift box)
- Draw a square or rectangle.
- Add a vertical and horizontal line through the middle for the ribbon.
- On top, draw a simple bow: two loops (like two leaves) and two ribbon ends.
- Add a second box under or beside it if you want.
- Color the box and ribbon in different bright colors.
Easy Santa hat
- Draw a slightly curved line (like a smiling mouth) for the bottom of the hat.
- Under it, make a thick fuzzy band by drawing another curved line and joining the sides.
- From one side of the band, draw a long curved triangle that flops over.
- Add a circle at the tip for the pom‑pom.
- Color the hat red and leave the band and pom‑pom white.
If you tell what you like most (cute, realistic, chibi, doodles), a more specific step‑by‑step for that style can be given next.
