(Starts by drawing a simple Christmas tree) So, the first step in learning how to draw Christmas things is to start with the basics, like a Christmas tree. Take a sheet of paper and a pencil, and draw a rough outline of a triangle, with the narrow point at the top and the wider base at the bottom. Then, add some branches and details, like pine cones or ornaments. Finally, give your tree some color with green, red, or gold.
