As the holidays approach, I thought it would be fun to create one more festive guide – here’s how to draw Chilli Heeler from Bluey wearing a Santa hat. This version keeps her warm and cheerful look while adding that classic Christmas spirit. The drawing follows 18 easy steps, making it a relaxing seasonal project to enjoy.
Chilli’s Festive Look
- Breed: Red Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog).
- Body Colors: Apricot-orange with cream markings on the muzzle, chest, tail, hands, and feet.
- Face: Calm and kind expression with big oval eyes and a dark brown nose.
- Tail: Cream-spotted with a soft curve.
- Accessory: A red Santa hat with a white trim and pom-pom for the Christmas touch.
Once you finish drawing this version of Chilli, you can try making a matching holiday version of Bandit, Bluey, or Bingo to complete the whole Christmas Heeler family scene.
About This 17-Step Drawing Guide
The tutorial breaks down Chilli’s full-body drawing into 18 easy stages. Each step helps build her form gradually, from the basic outline to the final festive details. To make it easy to follow, I use color indicators for each step:
- Red Color: marks the current lines you’re drawing.
- Black Color: shows previously completed lines.
- Grey Color: represents the basic starting sketch for proportions.
