This tutorial explores how to draw Jack Skellington as Santa, keeping the shapes clean and focusing on the contrast between the skeleton features and the classic Santa suit. The design is narrow and elongated, so the difficulty feels medium.
Key Parts of Santa Jack Skellington
- Round skull with large hollow eyes.
- Thin stitched smile stretching across the face.
- Santa hat with soft trim and a pom-pom.
- Long pointed beard in simple tapered shapes.
- Red Santa coat with fur-trim edges.
- Black belt with a square buckle.
- Very thin arms ending in bony hands.
- Only the upper part is shown.
For similar holiday drawings already completed, good matches include the Nutcracker, or other popular characters in festive style like Homer and Lisa Simpson, a minion, Grinch, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Mr. Bean and SpongeBob, Bluey and Bingo.
