Winter can be a magical time for children who love building snowmen. One of the cutest and happiest snowmen of all time is Frosty the Snowman! learning how to draw him is surprisingly easy, so grab your pencil and let’s begin!
First, draw two circles that overlap in the middle to make the head and body of Frosty. Make the top circle slightly bigger than the bottom one.
Now he needs his face! Draw two dots for eyes and some eyebrows above them. Create a nose with an upside-down ‘V’ shape, and draw a happy, smiley mouth.
Frosty has all the winter accessories – we can’t forget the scarf! Draw a long, snake-like line around the neck for the scarf, and draw a rectangle in the middle for the scarf’s knot.
Frosty looks incomplete without a hat! Draw a large semi-circle on the head like a wide-brimmed hat, and draw a line from the body circle to the top of the head to make the cap.
We are almost done! Give Frosty some hands and feet: draw two long lines at the bottom of the body circle to make his feet, and a pair of rounded mitten-like hands at the two sides of his body.
Now he’s ready! Go ahead and draw some sticks for the arms, small triangle shapes for the buttons down his body, as well as a few snowflakes around him. If you want, you could draw your own unique scenery in the background. Frosty the Snowman is yours to decorate!
Once your drawing is complete, you can add some color to bring Frosty to life. Start with a light layer of white for his body and the snowflakes around him. Then, color the hat, scarf and mittens in any color of your choice. For the eyes, you can use black crayons or leave them white for a grainy, glittering look. Try different color combinations and make Frosty your own!
To create an even more festive look, you can draw on some Christmas decorations around your Frosty. Give him a big Christmas tree with a sparkly star on top, a few presents piled around him, or make him some fun snowman friends!
Once you’ve added all the festive details, you can try a few snow painting techniques to make the snow look even more realistic. You can use oil pastel to highlight the corners of his face or to give him a soft, shadowy look. Or, use whiteout to draw snow on the edges of Frosty and around him to give the drawing a snowier feel.
Playing around with your materials is a great way to be creative in making your Frosty look unique. Add some silver and gold glitter, use some black paper to add perspective and dimension to the drawing, or even draw in a few snow drifts or create a unique snowman scene by adding trees and other elements in the background.
Making Frosty the Snowman is an easy and fun craft for everyone! All you need is a few pencils, a few colors and your imagination. So gather your supplies and draw away – your very own Frosty the Snowman awaits!
The snowman craft doesn’t have to end with Frosty! Once you’ve learned how to draw him, you can use your creativity to create all sorts of unique snowmen. You can draw a goofy snowman with a big carrot nose, a fancy snowman dressed in top hat and a bow tie, or even a gingerbread snowman with a Santa hat on his head!
When drawing snowmen, try to do something new each time. You can use new colors, patterns, and decorative accessories to make each snowman look special. Don’t forget to draw in the snow around him too, just like a real winter setting.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with your snowman drawings. Draw him in funny outfits, give him several different sizes of hats, and decorate his body with buttons and scarves. You can also draw your snowman in different poses – standing up, lying down, walking – to make him look even more interesting.
Look around you for more ideas on how to draw a snowman. Look at books, movies, pictures on the internet, and real-life snowmen to see how they’re built and what they look like. Then use that inspiration to draw your own original snowman!
When it comes to coloring your snowman, the possibilities are endless. You can use everyday crayons, coloured pencils, markers, paints, and other craft supplies to colour him in. Add textures and patterns to the garments and accessories, and don’t forget to make him sparkle with glitter and glitter pens.
Try to make each of your snowman drawings unique by adding your own personal touches. That way, no two snowmen will ever look the same. So have fun and draw away – your very own snowman awaits!
Once you’ve drawn your own Frosty the Snowman or a unique snowman of your own, there are endless ways to make your snowman shine. You can hang him on the door or in a window as a cheerful winter decoration, turn him into a paperweight, or use him as a decoration for your own original snowman art.
Frame your snowman with a cardboard frame or a picture frame and hang him on the wall. Let little ones turn your snowman into a magnet, or glue him to a pencil holder, notepad or placemat.
You can also turn your snowman into an ornament for your Christmas tree! Once you’ve coloured him in, carefully draw a small hole at the top of his head and thread a string through it. Hang your Frosty-turned-ornament for everyone to see!
You can also turn your snowman into a pillow or a wall hanging and add it to your winter decor. Simply trace your drawing onto a piece of canvas, then colour it in, add details and customise the colours. Make a few snowman pillows and hang them along the wall or attach them to some backing to make a wall hanging.
Making your own Frosty the Snowman or any other unique snowman is a fun and creative way to ring in the winter season. All it takes is a little creativity and a few craft supplies to make this winter holiday craft a reality. Have fun drawing your snowman and make sure to share your masterpiece with your friends!
