Gingerbread Man Drawing – in 10 Easy Steps for Kids

Get ready to add a sprinkle of Christmas magic to your drawing journey. Creating your very own Gingerbread Man Drawing is a delightful way to bring the holiday mood instantly.

This step-by-step guide will help you draw a cute and delicious Gingerbread Man with some easy instructions, perfect for little artists, like you.

Now, What are Gingerbread men? Any guess?

Gingerbread Men are iconic figures associated with the festive season. Did you know that these sweet cookie characters have been a part of holiday traditions for centuries? They’re often baked and decorated with icing, candies, and spices, bringing joy and warmth to the winter celebrations.

So, without further delay, let’s jump in and start having fun. Grab your markers and colour pencils while we begin Gingerbread man Drawing.

STEP 1: Making the Base

We start with a rounded shape that is going to be the head for today’s topic- the Gingerbread Man. Keep a gap at the bottom while sketching it because we want to make it super cute.

STEP 2: Adding a Bow in the drawing

Here we add a small and cute bow in the gap we left in our step 1 of the drawing process. It will give a smart and friendly appearance to our picture.

STEP 3: Making the Face

In this step, draw two small ‘bracket ‘-like structures to make the eyes. Our Gingerbread man needs a mouth too, so we made a ‘D’ shape and added one more ‘D’ inside the former shape to create its mouth. Looks good, right?

Let’s proceed further.

STEP 4: Adding details

Here we are making our friendly Gingerbread Man more jolly. Draw two curvy lines on its head. Later we are going to make this look like Frosting. For now, add two more rounded shapes below the eyes, to create the blush in its cheeks.

There you go, You have finished drawing the face, Hurray!

Excited to go to the next step? Let’s go then.

STEP 5: Sketching Hands

I know you are super excited to draw the rest of the picture and see how it turns out. Let’s give our Gingerbread man its hands. We sketch two small shapes emerging from below the head.

STEP 6: Adding legs to our Gingerbread Man Drawing

After making the hands, we now add two small legs at the bottom of our drawing and connect the two legs with a small curvy line to give it a complete outline. We are almost done with our drawing. Easy enough, right? Let’s draw some more details.

STEP 7: Adding more details

We drew two curvy lines on its head, do you remember that? Let’s do the same for its hands and legs to make it appear beautiful. You can add some dots too that has been shown in the picture.

How about adding two buttons on the body to look better?

STEP 8: Start putting colours

You have already drawn the picture so well, Congratulations on that. Now it is time to add some colours and make it vivid and festive-ready.

We start by colouring its bow and the two cute blushes with some bright shades of Orange and Red.

STEP 9: Colour the remaining parts

Take a light brown and start colouring from the top of the picture, keeping the white space in the curvy lines uncoloured. Doesn’t it look like the snow-white frosting on top of our image?

Gradually colour the body, hands and legs of our Gingerbread man. There it is, nearly finished. Still excited to explore more?

STEP 10: The finishing touch

Woohoo, you have made it this far. Wonderful Champ. This one is the last step of our ‘Gingerbread Man Drawing’. Here you just need to put some dark brows to make the buttons visible to our eyes. I want you to take a Grey colour now. Start making borders with it around the right parts of the legs, the body and the head. It is just to make the picture look a little bit elevated from the paper.

Yay! It is done. Wonderful, artist.
