The very first thing that you have to do when creating your own version of baby Jesus is to draw out the circle shape for the head guide and then sketch in the facial guideline.

Description: Let’s see, today is December 20th which means Christmas is only five more days away. I can’t believe this holy holiday is knocking on my door step once again. Don’t get me wrong I love Christmas, it’s just, I know with each passing holiday, one year of my life is gone. I’m not only getting older, I’m also getting older looking, and that really depresses me. Anyways enough with the poppycock and one with the show. Yesterday was an epic day for me because I drew some killer stuff and turned them all into killer drawing tutorials. To celebrate the holiday season I wanted to do something different that I hadn’t thought of before. Today, I will be showing you guys my version of "how to draw baby Jesus", step by step. I was going to draw a nativity scene first, but I wanted to keep things as simple as possible with this tutorial idea. So what I did was omit Mary and Joseph, (thanks for the correction) as well as the baby lamb and the three wise men. After I decided to not include all the other figures, the simple baby Jesus concept came to mind. I started drawing the rough sketch of my idea and then once the drawing was done, I added some simple details, and took away complex lines. In the end the final or finished drawing was done. The results were a cute, chubby baby Jesus with ice blue eyes and a personality that shined through in his smile. I had so much fun when I drew this baby, and I know you will too. If you have always wanted to know the first steps into taking on the task of drawing baby Jesus, this lesson is perfect for you. It will help you with the idea of how it should be drawn, and what to include within the concept. I have to go for now but I will return. Enjoy this lesson and look out for more drawing fun!
