How to Draw a Snowman Face (Easy Step by Step)
A snowman face is a great first drawing because it is mostly rounded shapes and straight lines. You will build it from two curved sides for the head, a flat brim and a tall box for the hat, a curved scarf, two dot eyes, a little triangle for the carrot nose and a row of dots for the smile.

Step 1: Sides of the head
Draw two curved lines that bulge outward, one on the left and one on the right, like a pair of round brackets. Leave a wide gap between them at the top and the bottom.
Step 2: The hat brim
Between the tops of the two side lines, draw a long, flat rectangle with rounded corners. It sits across the top of the head like a lid.
Step 3: The tall hat
On top of the brim, draw a tall box with rounded top corners. Start the two sides at the brim, go straight up, and join them across the top.
Step 4: Hat stripes
Draw two straight lines across the hat from one side to the other. Leave a little space between them.
Step 5: The scarf
Under the head, draw a wide, curved band that bulges down in the middle and has rounded ends. Add a short tail hanging down from the right side.
Step 6: Two round eyes
Draw two small filled-in dots in the middle of the face, side by side. Keep them the same size.
Step 7: The carrot nose
Between the eyes and a little lower, draw a small triangle that points down, with rounded corners. It is a carrot nose.
Step 8: Smile of dots
Under the nose, make a row of small dots that curve up at the ends like a smile. Try to keep them about the same size.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a snowman face
- Draw the two side curves lightly at first. If they come out a little uneven, it still looks like a friendly snowman.
- The hat sides should go straight up from the brim. Use the edge of a ruler or a book as a guide if the lines wobble.
- For the smile, space the dots by eye, with the middle one lowest. Making them curve up at both ends keeps the face happy.

Snowman face fun fact for kids
Snowmen are traditionally made from three rolled balls of snow, and the best snow for building them is wet and sticky, which packs together easily. Dry, powdery snow just falls apart.
