Start with a simple cartoon reindeer so it stays easy and cute. Use light pencil lines first, then trace with a darker pen when you like it.
Easy reindeer head
- Draw a rounded rectangle or tall oval for the head.
- Add two big circle eyes near the top; put a smaller circle inside each eye and leave it white for the shine, then shade the rest.
- Under the eyes, draw a small oval or circle for the nose (make it bigger and rounder if you want a Rudolph nose).
- Add a simple curved line or a sideways “3” under the nose for a smiling mouth.
Antlers and ears
- From the top corners of the head, draw a Y‑shape on each side for antlers, then add a couple of small bumps on each branch to make them look more “antler‑like.”
- Just below each antler, draw a small leaf shape on each side for the ears.
Simple body and legs
- From the bottom of the head, draw two short lines down and then curve them back to make a small rounded rectangle or bean shape for the body. Keep it smaller than the head for a cute look.
- Draw four simple legs: straight or slightly curved rectangles hanging down from the body, then add a small line across the bottom of each for hooves.
- Add a tiny curved triangle or fluffy bump on the back for the tail.
Finish and decorate
- Go over your favorite lines with a pen or darker pencil, then erase the sketchy guidelines.
- Color the body light brown, the antlers darker brown, add pink in the ears and a red or dark brown nose, and you can add a scarf, collar bell, or snowflakes around it for extra fun.
