Learn how to draw a Christmas present with this step by step tutorial. It's easy to add a pretty bow on top.

Christmas Present Drawing

With all the distance gift giving that will be happening this holiday season, there might be a need to share a pretty drawing of a present, in lieu of an actually physical one. Not to worry, drawings of pretty gift-wrapped boxes needn't be very complicated.

The key to making it look special is in the ribbon. Wide and colorful, tied into a symmetrical bow, it makes an ordinary box look very special. The final colors could be adjusted for the occasion (lovely blue for Hanukkah, for example) or filled with pretty patterns too. All kinds of possibilities!

Materials for a Christmas Present Drawing

  • Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.
  • Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.
  • Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.
  • Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.
  • Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
