Today, drawing123.com will guide you how to easily draw mittens with simple steps.
Let’s get started!
Step 1: The Cuff Base
Start by drawing a horizontal rectangle with rounded corners. This will form the base of the mitten’s cuff.
Step 2: The Mitten Shape
Above the rectangle, draw the main mitten shape. This is a large, rounded shape for the hand with a smaller, rounded thumb extending out from the lower left side, connecting to the top of the cuff.
Step 3: Defining the Cuff
Draw two parallel horizontal lines across the middle of the cuff base (the rectangle). This defines the ribbed or striped area of the cuff.
Step 4: The Main Pattern (Snowflakes)
Draw four asterisk-like shapes (simple snowflakes) on the main body of the mitten. Arrange them in two rows of two.
Step 5: Upper Pattern Band
Draw two parallel horizontal lines near the top of the mitten, just below the rounded tip. This creates a band for the upper decorative pattern.
Step 6: Adding the Zig-Zag Pattern
Inside the upper pattern band you just drew, add a zig-zag line (a continuous series of small ‘V’ shapes).
Step 7: Adding the Dot Pattern
Along the top or bottom edge of the zig-zag pattern, draw a series of small circles or dots evenly spaced.
Step 8: Coloring and Finishing
Use red and green for the cuff and upper decorative band. Use a lighter color like orange or beige for the main body of the mitten. Use contrasting colors to fill in the small circles and bands.
Step 1: The Angled Cuff Base
Begin by drawing a horizontal rectangle with rounded corners, angled slightly upwards to the right. This forms the base of the mitten’s cuff.
Step 2: Cuff Details
Add three curved vertical lines inside the cuff base. These lines will create the ribbed texture of the cuff. The outer edge of the cuff is also thickened, indicating the full shape.
Step 3: The Mitten Shape
Draw the main mitten shape extending upwards from the cuff. It should be a large, rounded shape for the hand with a smaller, rounded thumb extending out from the upper right side.
Step 4: Tree Trunk Base
On the main body of the mitten, draw a small, U-shaped line with a flat top, positioned in the lower-middle. This will be the base of the Christmas tree trunk.
Step 5: The Christmas Tree
Draw the Christmas tree shape above the U-shaped base. It should have a classic evergreen tree outline, with wavy lines representing branches, tapering upwards.
Step 6: The Tree Star
Add a small, five-pointed star at the very top of the Christmas tree.
Step 7: Decorative Dots
Draw a series of small circles or dots scattered around the Christmas tree on the main body of the mitten, and also along the outer edge of the thumb. These will act as decorative elements.
Step 8: Coloring and Finishing
Use light blue for the main body of the mitten and the cuff. Color the Christmas tree green with a brown trunk. Make the star yellow. The small decorative dots can be colored white (or any color you prefer!).
Step 1: The Angled Cuff Base
Begin by drawing a horizontal rectangle with rounded corners, angled slightly upwards to the right. This forms the base of the mitten’s cuff.
Step 2: Cuff Details
Add five curved vertical lines inside the cuff base. These lines create the ribbed texture of the cuff.
Step 3: The Mitten Shape
Draw the main mitten shape extending upwards from the cuff. The thumb extends from the upper left side.
Step 4: Upper Striped Band
Draw two wide, curving parallel lines across the upper section of the mitten. This creates a band for the primary pattern.
Step 5: The Snowflake Pattern
Inside the band you just drew, add three asterisk-like shapes (simple snowflakes), spaced evenly apart.
Step 6: The Scalloped Border
Below the patterned band, draw a scalloped edge (a series of connected small arches) to serve as a decorative border between the patterned section and the main body.
Step 7: Coloring and Finishing
Color your design. The example uses a vibrant green for the main body, orange for the cuff, a light blue for the patterned band, and red for the scalloped border.
Step 1: The Cuff Bases
Draw two small, horizontal rectangles with rounded corners angled slightly apart from each other. These are the bases for the cuffs of the left and right mittens.
Step 2: Cuff Details
Inside each cuff base, draw several parallel vertical lines to create a ribbed or striped texture.
Step 3: Starting the Mitten Shapes
On top of each cuff, draw the basic outer shape of the mittens. This begins with a slightly curved line extending upwards.
Step 4: Completing the Mitten Shapes
Complete the full outline of both mittens. Each one is a large, rounded shape for the hand, with the thumb extending outwards near the top, creating a small notch between the thumb and the main body.
Step 5: The Center Dots
On the main body of each mitten, draw a small circle or dot in the center. This will be the center point for the snowflake pattern.
Step 6: The Snowflake Design
Around the center dot on each mitten, draw the decorative snowflake pattern. This design consists of six pointed petal or diamond shapes radiating outwards from the center.
Step 7: The Connecting String
Draw a simple curved line (like a loose loop of string) connecting the bottom center of the left mitten’s cuff to the bottom center of the right mitten’s cuff.
Step 8: Coloring and Finishing
Color your complete drawing. The example uses red for the main body of the mittens, light blue for the snowflake petals, and a light pink/beige for the ribbed cuffs. The connecting string is black or a dark color.
Step 1: The Cuff Base Shapes
Start by drawing two wide, slightly angled and curved quadrilateral shapes. These should look like two opposing cuffs, curving outwards slightly at the bottom.
Step 2: Cuff Ribbing
Inside both cuff shapes, draw multiple parallel vertical lines that follow the curve of the cuff outline. This creates the ribbed knit texture.
Step 3: Starting the Mitten Bodies
Draw the main, rounded outline of the hand part extending up from each cuff. Don’t add the thumbs yet. The body of the left mitten curves right, and the body of the right mitten curves left, mirroring each other.
Step 4: Adding the Thumbs
Add the rounded thumb shapes to the inner side of each mitten. The thumb on the left mitten points right, and the thumb on the right mitten points left, completing the basic shape of the pair.
Step 5: The Zig-Zag Pattern
On the upper part of both mittens, draw a wide band of zig-zag lines (or chevrons). You should have two or three rows of these parallel zig-zag lines.
Step 6: Coloring and Finishing
Use red for the main body of the mittens. Use bright teal/aqua for the ribbed cuffs. Use blue and purple/magenta for the two different zig-zag pattern lines.
Step 1: The First Cuff Base
Start by drawing a horizontal rectangle with rounded corners slightly curved upwards. This will be the cuff of the mitten in the foreground (the left one).
Step 2: Cuff Ribbing (First Mitten)
Inside the cuff shape, draw several parallel vertical lines following the curve of the outline to create the ribbed texture.
Step 3: The First Mitten Shape
Draw the rounded outline of the main body and the thumb of the first mitten, extending upwards from the ribbed cuff. The thumb is on the right side.
Step 4: The Second Cuff Base
Behind the first cuff, draw the basic outline of the second cuff. It should be a smaller, partial shape visible next to the first one.
Step 5: The Second Mitten Shape
Draw the rounded outline of the main body and the thumb of the second mitten, positioned behind and slightly above the first mitten. The thumb is on the left side of this mitten.
Step 6: Cuff Ribbing (Second Mitten)
Add the parallel vertical lines to the visible part of the second cuff to create its ribbed texture.
Step 7: The Top Chevron Pattern (First Mitten)
On the upper part of the first (front) mitten, draw two parallel zig-zag lines (chevrons) across the width.
Step 8: The Dot Pattern (First Mitten)
Below the chevron pattern, draw a horizontal line of small circles or dots across the width of the mitten.
Step 9: The Star Pattern (First Mitten)
Draw several five-pointed star shapes scattered across the lower body of the front mitten.
Step 10: Coloring and Finishing
Color your drawing. The example uses a bright pink/magenta for the main body of both mittens, a lighter pink for the cuffs, and contrasting colors like teal/aqua and yellow for the chevron and star patterns.
Hopefully, this drawing tutorial on Mittens will help you easily create a cute drawing.
