Fearless Friday, Waiting for Santa
Can you believe that Christmas Eve is a week from today??
I know some excited little ones that are waiting for Santa!
Our houses are decorated and their stockings are hung~
Lots of holiday merriment has already begun!
First a pencil sketch starting with stones
Ink over the pencil and then erase
You can download this free printable here
if you want to color along
I colored this with markers
I have a set of 121 Caliart markers that I just love
I started with a light gray on the stones
and then darker gray where the shadows would be
The stockings were colored with 3 shades of red,
dark on the back, light on the front
Medium red in the middle
Small strokes of gray on the stocking cuffs
indicate fluffy white fur
Next the fire comes to life
with yellow, orange, and red
Black filled in around the fire really makes it pop
and adds a little depth
If you leave a white space near the top of the ornaments
you create a highlight indicating shine
Now for the evergreen garland on the mantel
Short green strokes indicating branches
To finish I added dots with one of my favorite
Have some coloring fun while you’re waiting for Santa!
Be Fearless!

I know the children are waiting for Santa. Our stockings are hung, but we still need a few small things to fill them. I always enjoy Fearless Friday and your creativity. Merry Weekend, Jenna!
Thanks so much Pam!
I so enjoy your Friday Tutorials. This one is so fun… thank you Jenna.
Merry Friday to you my creative friend!
Thanks so much Nancy, much appreciated!
This is so cute and would be a stress reliever to sit and sketch it with your directions. I need an extra week to get everything done! Merry week-before Christmas to you!
Thanks Leslie Anne, I hope you have a Merry Merry Christmas!
I really enjoy seeing how you draw your pictures. You make it look so easy. Personally, I wouldn’t know how to begin, so this is really helpful. Have a merry Christmas
Thanks so much Judee! Merry Merry!
I’m trying not to get into panic mode at the moment, LOL! I love your little drawing. You should draw your outdoor fireplace and pizza oven all decked out for Christmas! 😀
Oh no! Try not to panic, just put everybody to work! I didn’t decorate out side much this year because of all the windy rainy days plus my daughter is hosting our family Christmas
This is just the sweetest fireplace all decked out for Christmas Jenna. I’m sure the littles can’t wait! Hope you enjoy a wonderful week before Christmas……..
Thank you Emily, happy days!
This is super happy! I’m hoping I have time to do some sort of creative thing before Christmas (but my guess is it will be after!) Merriest to you!
I haven’t done much art this month, planning to get back to daily drawing after Christmas~ Merry Merry Jeanie!
So fun to see your creations come to life Jenna! ♥
Jenna, your drawing/paintings always make me smile. Thanks for sharing at the FWF party.
I’m looking forward to another year of all your pretty inspiration when the FWF party starts up again this Friday, January 7th.
Happy New Year!
Love Rachelle
Thanks Rachelle, see you Friday!
