How to draw a snowboarder step by step
How to Draw a Snowboarder · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Sides of the head
Draw two curved lines that bend like the sides of a round face, one on the left and one on the right. Leave the top and the bottom open, with a tiny bump near the top of each side.
Step 2: Hat and pompom
Draw a wide dome across the top of the head, from one side line to the other, like half a ball. Add a small circle on top of the dome for the pompom.
Step 3: The hat band
Near the bottom of the dome, draw two long, slightly curved lines side by side with a thick band between them. Scribble a little extra line at each end so the band looks puffy.
Step 4: Goggles
Just under the hat band, draw a rounded U shape that hangs down from the band. It makes a soft rectangle for the goggles.
Step 5: Face and jacket
Draw two small dots for eyes and a curved smile below the goggles. Then draw a curved collar and shoulders under the chin, a short zipper line in the middle, and two straight lines going down for the sides of the jacket.
Step 6: Arms and mittens
Draw a bent tube sticking out from each shoulder, like a sideways sausage. End each arm with a small circle for a mitten.
Step 7: Belt and legs
Draw a straight line across the bottom of the jacket for a belt. Below it, draw a second line with a small curved gap in the middle to show where the two legs begin.
Step 8: Snowboard and snow
Under the legs, draw a long rounded rectangle for the snowboard. Finish with three little dots of flying snow on the right.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a snowboarder
- Draw the two sides of the head first, then draw the hat dome across the top so the band lines curve the same way as the head.
- The goggles hang down from the hat band. Keep the corners of the rounded U soft, then place the eyes below it.
- Draw the board last and make it wider than the legs, so the snowboarder looks like it is standing on it.
