Snowflake Drawing Videos: Watch and Follow Along!
To kickstart your snowflake drawing journey, grab a pen and paper and watch my engaging How to Draw a Snowflake video. Join me as I demonstrate 6 different techniques for creating beautiful snowflake designs. You can find the video tutorial here.
Easy Snowflake Drawing Technique
Let’s start with an easy snowflake drawing technique. Begin by drawing a slanted line, followed by another line to form an X shape. Then, draw a vertical line intersecting the first two lines. Complete the snowflake by adding filled-in circles at the end of each line. For an extra touch, draw small V shapes at the ends and midway on each line. These two snowflake designs are perfect for kids and beginners!
Simple and Detailed Snowflake Drawing Method
Now, let’s take our snowflake drawings up a notch with a simple yet more detailed approach. Start by drawing two lines intersecting at a 90-degree angle. Then, add two more intersecting lines at an angle on top. To complete the design, draw a filled-in circle at the end of each line and add a V shape onto each line. For an additional snowflake variation, draw three intersecting lines and extend large V shapes at the top of each line. Within the center intersection, draw smaller lines between the spokes and top them off with small V shapes.
Step-by-Step Snowflake Drawing: Exquisite Designs
Prepare to create the most exquisite snowflakes! Begin by drawing three intersecting lines and adding two small V shapes at the top of each line. Next, draw upside-down V shapes between each spoke at the center. Finish off the snowflake by adding small circle outlines. For a more intricate design, draw three intersecting lines and attach a filled-in circle and V shape at the top of each line. Then, draw a circle around the intersection point and add arcs to create a flower-like shape. Enhance the center by adding more arcs. Finally, complete the snowflake by drawing two large V shapes onto each line.
