How To Draw Snowman
Drawing snowman can be a fun and creative experience no matter your skill level or experience. Even if you don’t know your elbows from your art supplies, you can still make a snowman with ease. First, you’ll need to get the most important ingredients for success – enthusiasm, perseverance and a dash of imagination.
The body of the snowman is the most important part of the whole drawing. To get started start with three large circles, one on top of the other. Start with the head and then work down from there. Make sure each circle is slightly larger than the one beneath it to give a better impression of volume. Once you’ve finished the circles, give your snowman some personality by adding a face. Use two black dots to make the eyes and a curved line below to make a smile. For the carrot nose, draw a long triangle pointing downwards.
To give your snowman some style, you’ll need to add a few more details. Start by adding a few buttons down the middle of the body. Some sticks and stones can also be added in different locations to add more texture and visual interest. To make the arms, a single straight line and two curve lines coming down from it should do the job. Once you’re happy with the look, you can colour it in. Reds, blues and purples are all nice, or you could go with a simple yellow or white colour.
One of the most important parts of any snow drawing is the hat. Start by drawing a curved cylinder on the top of the head. Be sure to leave enough room for the brim. To make the brim, simply draw two lines coming down from the cylinder and rounding off the ends. You can use bright colours for the hat such as yellow or blue. To complete the look, draw a triangle on top of the cylinder to represent the tip of the hat.
Dressing your snowman is easy too. To make the scarf, draw an L-shaped line around the neck and decorate it with triangle edges on the sides and a zigzag in the middle. To make mittens, draw two oval shaped lines, one on each side of the body. Add two curves on each mitten to represent the hand. For extra style, you can draw some snow boots at the bottom.
Drawing snowman can be a great way to bring some winter cheer into your home. With a bit of practice and a bit of imagination, you’ll soon be able to create snowmen of your own.
Section 2: Adding Clothing and Accessories
When it comes to snowman, you can let your imagination run wild. There are literally endless possibilities when it comes to what you can add to your snowman. Buttons, stones, leaves and twigs are great for adding texture and color. You can also use glitter, pipe cleaners and sequins to dress up your snowman. For his hat, try adding an old sock and jazzing it up with some fabric scraps and ribbons.
Clothing is also an option for your snowman. Scarves are great accessories. Draw a long loop of fabric around the neck to make a scarf. Add triangles on the sides and a zigzag in the middle. Have fun with colors – you can go with a traditional red and white or try out different combinations like blue and orange.
If your snowman is feeling a bit chilly, you can make him a coat. Draw a long line from the head to the feet and add two curved lines on either side for the arms. Decorate this coat with buttons and patches if you like. You can even make your snowman a pair of trousers. Use a wide round brush to draw two curves as opposed to two lines.
Section 3: Accessories
You snowman isn’t complete without the right accessories. Start by giving him a pair of mittens. Draw two oval shaped lines, one on each side of the body. Add two curves on each mitten to represent the hand. Feel free to get creative and draw some fun mittens like a bunny, cat or heart shape.
When it comes to hats, really the choices are endless. Beret’s, caps and beanies all look great on a snowman. You can even make a hat out of an old sock and then jazz it up with ribbons and fabric. For glasses, have fun trying out different shapes or add in some ski goggles for a wintery look.
If your snowman is feeling a bit lonely, you can always make another one for him to play with. To make a small snowman, use three small circles instead and scale down the details. You can also add sleds, snow cones, ice skates and broomsticks.
Section 4: Finishing Touches
You can add some finishing touches to your snowman to give it an extra bit of personality. Start by drawing a stick body instead of a round one. This will give your snow man more realism. You can also give him a few extra details such as snowflakes on his body. Snowflakes are easy to draw using a small dot brush. Draw six lines and join them in the middle.
Another great way to add some uniqueness to your snowman is by adding some icicles. To draw icicles, draw an upside down teardrop shape and add some extra line on the bottom. You can use some line work to give the impression of icicles hanging from his body.
To make your snowman complete, you can draw a snow blower in the background for context and draw footprints coming from it. This will give your snowman a real sense of place and it also looks cute.
After all that hard work, you’ve created a beautiful snowman picture. Feel free to experiment with different colors and details. The possibilities are endless. So put on your creative cap and get drawing.
