This guide shows how to draw Bandit Heeler as Santa in 18 steps. It’s a fun variation of the Bluey character, and the added Santa hat makes it slightly more detailed than his regular version. The process is still easy enough for beginners, as the shapes are simple and cartoonish.
Main Features of Bandit Heeler as Santa
- Head: Blue Heeler markings and cartoon expression.
- Hat: classic red Santa hat with fluffy trim and pom-pom.
- Face: large oval eyes, smiling mouth, and black nose.
- Body: rectangular torso with lighter belly patch.
- Arms and Hands: simple, rounded, one hand raised in a wave.
- Legs and Feet: short and blocky, matching the cartoon style.
- Tail: short, rounded with markings.
If you want to go with different poses and scenarios, you can also sketch Bandit running, standing or cooking, or check other festive themed characters here.
