Drawing a snowman might sound like a winter wonderland project that’s only for experts, but with a few simple tips and a bit of patience even the littlest of hands can have an adorable snowman masterpiece!
Gather Your Supplies
The first step to drawing your snowman is having the right supplies. You’ll need paper and one drawing tool, whether its crayons, markers, or colored pencils. For the three circles that make up your snowman, you’ll want to use a light pencil that can easily be erased if you need to make any adjustments. Since snowmen are usually white, pick a light color for your main color.
Next up, come up with one big circle for the snowman’s head (with one eye and one carrot nose!), a medium circle for the body, and then a smaller circle for the tummy. Make sure to leave extra room on the paper so you can draw the snowman’s arms and feet. Once you have your circles in place, then you can erase any extra pencil marks.
Now you’re ready to grab your favorite color and start creating the details of your snowman!
Time to Color
Once your snowman’s arrange is complete, it’s time to get creative by adding color. Start with the face of the snowman. If you want to make a realistic snowman, use cool colors like blues and grays. If you prefer a colorful snowman, pick any color you fancy. Go wild and make a design why don’t you?
Once you’ve colored the face, move onto the body. Make sure to color the entire body with one color. For the arms and feet, give your snowman a little personality by adding stripes, polka dots, or other patterns.
Finally, you can give your snowman a little style by adding buttons, scarf and hat. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can even make your own accessories!
Putting it All Together
Once your snowman is all colored and dressed, the final step is to add an extra touch of life to your drawing. Add some snowflakes around the snowman. Or, if you want to take your drawing to the next level, you can draw some grass and trees around it. This will give your snowman some much-needed atmosphere!
Drawing a snowman is a great activity for kids of all ages. With a few simple supplies and directions, your little ones can create their very own snowman.

Drawing the Arms and Legs

Make sure to have the arms emanating from the body and pointing slightly outward. Next, draw the feet pointing slightly upwards from the base of the middle circle. Finally, give your snowman some extra character by making the feet slightly bigger than the arms!
