A few tips

Start with simple shapes

A tree is a triangle, a bauble is a circle, a present is a box. Sketch the shapes first, then decorate them.

Pick a small palette

Red, green and gold, or icy blue and white. Three or four colors make a drawing feel festive and finished.

Add light

Fairy lights, candles and glowing windows make anything look like Christmas. Leave little spots of white paper for the glow, or add them at the end with a white gel pen.

Make it a card

Fold a sheet of paper in half and draw on the front. Keep the main subject big and the background simple, so it reads from across the room.
