A Christmas scenery drawing brings together a snowy ground, a fir tree, a little house and a starry night sky. In this short tutorial Parikshet shows you how to combine just a few simple shapes into a magical winter scene.

🎨 What You Need

  • Plain paper
  • Pencil and rubber
  • Black marker
  • Blue, green, brown, red, yellow and white colour pencils

How to Draw Christmas Scenery Step by Step

  1. Step 1 — Across the middle of your page, draw a wavy line for the snowy hill.
  2. Step 2 — On one side of the hill, draw a small house using a square with a triangle roof, plus a tiny chimney with a curl of smoke.
  3. Step 3 — On the other side, draw a tall Christmas tree as a stack of three or four bumpy triangles getting smaller toward the top.
  4. Step 4 — Add a small star on top of the tree and tiny round baubles spread across its branches.
  5. Step 5 — Draw a small snowman in front of the hill: three stacked circles, two dot eyes, a carrot nose, a hat and a scarf.
  6. Step 6 — In the sky, add a big round moon and lots of tiny star dots around it.
  7. Step 7 — Draw small snowflakes falling all over the sky and the ground.
  8. Step 8 — Outline everything in black marker, then colour: dark blue sky, white ground, green tree, brown house with a red roof and a glowing yellow window.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Leave the snow areas white instead of colouring them — the contrast against the dark blue sky is what makes a Christmas scene look cold and magical.

🌟 Did You Know?

The very first Christmas trees in homes appeared in Germany around 500 years ago. People decorated them with apples and candles long before fairy lights and baubles were invented.
