INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use the middle horizontal line as a guide point to begin. The bottom of the nose should be at the same level as your middle horizontal line. Draw a round circle-like shape for the nose. You don't want the circle to connect at the top, so leave it open. Then add the nostrils. On either side of the circular nose, draw a "C" shape. One forward "C" for Santa's right nostril, and one backwards "C" for his left nostril. Draw two "S" shaped lines extending horizontally from the ends of each nostril. Then draw the bottom of the mustache by adding a few zig-zags underneath your "S" shaped curves. To help you keep the mustache even, place a small dot under the nose in the center. Then when you draw the bottom of mustache, draw your zig-zags so the lines meet at the dot. Then add two round lines starting at the top of the nose on each side. Bring these lines down to meet near the edge of the mustache. These are Santa's cheeks. Draw two large upside-down "U" shapes on top of the cheeks to form the eyes. If you'd rather have your Santa look a little less cartoony, you can draw two smaller circles above the cheeks for the eyes. These eyes won't be connected to Santa's cheeks and will give him a bit of a more realistic look. Add the pupils to the eyes. Inside the eyes, draw two circles. One larger for the white part of the eye, and one smaller one for the pupils. If you have room and want to, you can add smaller circles inside the pupils to make Santa's eyes look shiny. Color in the pupils. Draw two "S" shaped lines above the eyes, similar to what you drew for the top of the mustache. Then above your "S" shaped lines, draw two bushy zig-zagging lines for the tops of the eyebrows. Connect these lines to your "S" shaped lines to complete the eyebrows. If you don't have enough room to make Santa's eyebrows very bushy, you can draw two rounded rectangle shapes above his eyes. Begin by drawing zig-zagged lines on either side of Santa's head. Start the lines at the same height as the tops of his ears. Follow the outside of the oval shape you drew for Santa's head. You've already drawn the rough outline of Santa's beard, so now you just need to define it. The more zig-zagged your lines are the more cartoony the beard the beard will look. If you want the beard to look more realistic, draw softer "S" shaped lines. Continue down and have the beard lines meet in the middle of Santa's chest. Start drawing Santa's hat in between his eyebrows. Unlike Santa's eyebrows and mustache, you want to draw smaller circle-like lines for the fuzzy white part of the hat. Think of it like drawing small clouds. Then follow your original outline for Santa's head as you draw the top of his hat. Extend the line you draw for the bottom fuzzy part of the hat outward around the head, and have it meet by his ears. As you draw a curved line up to form the top of the hat, you can extend the top of the hat above your original outline for Santa's head to make it look proportional. On one side of his head, draw a curved line moving inward a bit. And instead of connecting it to the line of the hat from the other side, leave it unconnected. Then bring the other line over and past the other edge of the hat to add the stocking portion of it. Draw a small, puffy ball at the tip. Draw two "U" shapes under Santa's mustache to give Santa a big smile. Then to make the mouth and beard look more realistic, draw two zig-zagged lines extending from each tip of the mustache. Don't connect these lines to the outside of Santa's beard, though. Leave a little space. Now, draw the sides of Santa's face. Connect the top part of the beard you just drew, which extended from the mustache, with two wavy vertical lines on each side of Santa's head. Bring these lines up to meet with the bottom of Santa's hat. If done correctly, Santa's beard will wrap around his face.

SUMMARY: Begin with the nose. Draw the mustache. Draw Santa's eyes. Give Santa some eyebrows. Draw Santa's beard. Draw Santa's hat. Draw the mouth.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Scalp eczema can cause problems for your scalp or any affected areas of your skin. Common symptoms include flaky skin (dandruff), itching, red skin, scaliness or crusting of the skin, greasy patches, and hair loss. Inflammation leads to red patches and high fatty acid content, which can make the skin greasy and yellow in some people. In infants, it is common in the scalp and can present as red, dry scaly plaques, or in more severe cases as thick white or greasy yellow scales. Other skin diseases such as fungal infection, psoriasis, dermatitis, and lupus may resemble scalp eczema. However, these differ based on the location and layers of the skin involved. If you aren't sure whether your symptoms match those of scalp eczema, see your doctor. S/he can help you determine the cause of your symptoms and whether they are severe enough to require treatment. In addition to decreased oils and moisture present, doctors believe that a certain kind of yeast, Malassezia furfur, has a role in causing seborrheic eczema. Malassezia yeast is usually present on the outer surface of the skin. In those with scalp eczema, this yeast invades the superficial layers of skin and secretes substances that increase fatty acid production. This leads to inflammation and enhances production and dryness of skin, which causes the skin to flake. If your eczema is atopic, meaning that your family has a tendency to develop eczema, yeast may not be the culprit. Doctors believe that many people with atopic eczema have a faulty skin barrier due to a changed gene within the skin's structural proteins. While doctors are not certain why some people develop seborrheic eczema, and others don't, there do appear to be some factors that increase your risk, including: Being overweight or obese Fatigue Environmental factors (such as dry weather) Stress Other skin issues (such as acne) Certain medical conditions, including stroke, HIV, Parkinson's disease, or head injury Alcohol removes protective oils from the skin surface, causing the scalp to dry out. This can make the flaking and itching worse and may be a contributing cause of seborrheic eczema. Be gentle with washing your skin and scalp. Do not scrub! Gently massage your skin with your fingers when washing your hair. The goal is to clean your hair without stripping the oils from your scalp. or surrounding skin. Though it can be difficult to avoid scratching when a part of your body feels dry and itchy, you should try not to scratch the affected areas of your scalp because the skin can become irritated and bleed. You could even cause a secondary infection if you scratch excessively. It is unlikely that you will be able to completely "cure" your disease with an effective treatment. Scalp eczema appears and then disappears when it is treated. However, it usually comes back and will require continuous treatment. Luckily, many of the treatments can be continued for long periods.

SUMMARY:
Look for common symptoms. Know the causes of eczema. Determine your risk factors. Avoid hair and skin care products that contain alcohol. Do not scratch itchy patches of your scalp Expect eczema to return.
