Below you'll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Reindeer and a Reindeer Coloring Page.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a 1964 Christmas stop motion animated television special that first aired Sunday, December 6, 1964. It has since been telecast every year, making it the longest continuously running Christmas TV special.
This tutorial shares an easy way for children of all ages to draw this classic reindeer. His recognizable face and body are there, just like what they have seen on TV for so many years.
If your students are just learning how to draw, have them concentrate of getting all the shapes just where they want them. Older ones though, might have fun adding shadows along the edges of his brown body. Using extra pressure with their crayons will do the trick. Oh, and the same could be done with the trees, so that Rudolph almost has the same dimensional look as he did in his debut so long ago.
Getting Started with Drawing Guides
The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing lesson is to show them how to use guides as a reference point.
You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this site have a dashed line running through the center of each step, in both horizontal and vertical directions. If students make theirown centered lines on theirown paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow.
Drawing skills are all about getting the size and placement of lines on paper, so having some visual reference point to get started, will always help anyone learn how to be a little more accurate.
So does that mean students need to get out a ruler to draw a big fat line down the center of their paper before they start? Goodness no, please don't! That will most likely be hard to erase and distract from any finished art. No, simply fold the sheet of paper in half both ways, make a crease, and unfold. The beauty is that by the time the drawing is done and colored in, the creases will disappear.
And now, on to the Reindeer drawing project.

Materials for a Reindeer Drawing
- Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tips.
- 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.
