Frequently asked questions

What supplies do I need?
You only need white paper, a pencil, an eraser, and of course, some bright colored pencils.
What if my circle isn't perfectly round?
That doesn't matter at all, because every reindeer is unique and being a bit wobbly is actually funny!
What is the easiest way to draw the antlers?
Start with a straight line upwards and draw small side branches on it, just like a tree.
Can I give my reindeer a red nose?
Yes, of course! If you color the nose red, he looks exactly like Rudolph.
