Holiday artwork

   


     The winter season comes with many changes. One of these changes include people's inspiration for their artwork. People begin to make the shift from drawing dragons and flowers, and begin to draw Christmas icons (such as Santa and elves), snow animals (such as polar bears, wolves, and penguins wearing hats), and landscapes (covered in snow and ice).
      Christmas icons are generally drawn in a cartoon style, or realistically. Most people choose to draw snowmen, Santa, elves, and reindeer. These are typically used to decorate Christmas cards. Below I have some examples:

      The animals usually associated with the winter season sport Christmas hats and other clothing, and are usually in the cartoon style. Another take on the kind of animal, would be a realistic one, and these can be incredible. Below I have an example for each: http://hative.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/pencil-drawing-of-winter-bird.jpg

   The landscapes people usually choose to draw are very snowy, and covered in ice. People tend to either draw a wilderness scene, or a house decorated in lights. These drawings are almost always drawn realistically. Below are some examples:
