I can’t wait to start decorating for Christmas this year!
I recently heard that people who decorate early
are significantly happier,
so let’s bring on the decorations!
Today we’re going to draw and color holiday ornaments
and there is a free printable
if you want to follow along and color with me
First I did a pencil sketch
Then I outlined it in ink and erased the pencil
You can download the free printable here
I used yellow and brownish yellow
for the gold ornament cap and ball
and colored in black checks
I used colored pencil in the highlight area of the ornament
and colored the rest of the ornament with marker
I added 2 shades of green to the base for contrast
I colored the tree with the same 2 greens
and added a similar highlight with colored pencil
Then I filled in with red marker
and colored in the center ornament
with shades of blues and greens
I used gray to indicate silver ribbons and bows
I thought they looked a little lost
so for a final touch I added some Christmas tree branches
If you want a free printable of the finished drawing
you can download it here
Happy drawing, painting, and decorating!
Be Fearless!
