We're going to divide Sonic in simple parts. Don't worry about the details at first, focus on the overall shapes.

Step 1: The Head and Hat: Start by drawing a large circle for the head. Instead of drawing his typical hedgehog quills on top, draw the droopy shape of Santa's hat covering the top. Don't forget to draw the round tassel (pom-pom) at the end of the hat.

Step 2: The face of Sonic Inside the circle for the head, draw the shape of his eyes (which look like a pair of goggles joined together). Draw two elongated ovals for the pupils, a small, round nose, and his classic confident smile. Add the triangular ears peeking out from under the hat.

• Arms: Draw one arm extended backward (holding the sack) and the other forward. Remember to draw his gloves big and thick.
• Legs: Draw one leg bent upwards and the other stretched forward in a step. Draw his famous slippers, but add a gold buckle to give them a Christmas elf touch.
