This walkthrough shows how to draw the Grinch holding a Christmas banner, keeping the shapes bold and readable. The drawing stays manageable, and the challenge comes mainly from the facial expression and the shape of the sign.
Main Details of the Grinch Drawing
- Wide head with pointed cheek fur.
- Small eyes with raised brows.
- Simple nose shape centered between the eyes.
- Grinning mouth with curved lines.
- Santa hat with soft trim and a small pom-pom.
- Red coat with white collar trim.
- Hands gripping the edges of the banner.
- Curved banner reading “Christmas.”
To continue with similar festive characters, completed guides that match well include Jack Skellington as Santa, the Nutcracker, the Christmas elf with the long list, Rudolph, Santa’s sleigh scene, the gingerbread village and the Christmas fireplace.
