How to draw a winter monster step by step
How to Draw a Winter Monster · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Left side and neck
Start near the top left and draw a short line curving down the left side of the head. Then sweep a gentle curve across to the right, and let a wobbly line trail down the left side of the body.
Step 2: Bottom of the body
Start at the lower left of the body and draw a big U-shaped curve around the bottom. End it up on the right, so the body looks soft and round.
Step 3: Hat and right side
Draw a tall dome for the hat with a small round pom-pom on the tip. Add two curved lines across the bottom of the dome for the band, then draw the right side of the head and body down from the hat.
Step 4: Bottom of the scarf
Draw a short curved line across the front of the body, starting near the middle and ending at the right edge of the scarf.
Step 5: The scarf tail
Draw a small rectangle with rounded corners that hangs down from the scarf. Leave the top open, because the scarf closes it, and add a short line to its left.
Step 6: The snowball
Draw a big circle at the lower left, as if the monster is hugging it. Let it overlap the body a little.
Step 7: The mitten
On the right side, draw a round mitten shape that starts at the scarf and curves down. Finish with a rounded bottom that tucks against the body.
Step 8: Eyes and smile
Draw two round dots for eyes, spaced apart. Between them and a bit lower, add a tiny wiggly smile.
Step 9: A little curved line
Add a short curved line on the belly, between the snowball and the scarf tail, to show a soft fold.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a winter monster
- Draw the hat band as two curved lines that bend the same way, so the hat looks like it wraps around the head.
- Keep the eyes small and far apart with a tiny smile between them. That is what makes the monster look sweet.
- Draw the snowball after the scarf and let it overlap the body. Overlapping is the easiest way to make one shape look like it sits in front of another.

How to color your winter monster drawing
Try a red or blue hat with a matching scarf, and leave the snowball white with light blue shading. For a twist, color the monster purple or green and add snowflakes falling all around.
Winter monster fun fact for kids
Most snowflakes grow six arms. That happens because of the way water molecules line up when they freeze into ice.
