How to draw a kid in a snowman costume step by step
How to Draw a Kid in a Snowman Costume · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Round head outline
Draw the sides and bottom of a big round head, a little wider than it is tall. Leave the top open, because the hat will cover it.
Step 3: Body sides
Draw two curved lines below the head, one on the left and one on the right. Each starts high and curves in toward the bottom, like the sides of a round tummy.
Step 4: The top hat
Draw a flat oval across the top of the head for the brim. Then draw a box that is a little narrower at the bottom, standing up from the middle of the brim.
Step 5: The scarf
Draw a long, bumpy band across the neck, where the head meets the body. Add a short strip that hangs down on the right side.
Step 6: Smile, arms and mittens
Draw a small curved smile near the bottom of the face. Then draw a stretched oval arm on each side of the body, and finish each arm with a little circle for a mitten with a tiny thumb loop on top.
Step 7: Buttons and feet
Draw two small dots down the middle of the tummy for buttons. Then draw two flat ovals side by side at the bottom of the body for feet, with a short line joining each foot to the body.
Step 8: Eyes and carrot nose
Draw two small dots for eyes, spaced apart in the middle of the face. Between them and a little lower, draw a small triangle pointing down for the carrot nose.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in a snowman costume

- The scarf is the trickiest part. Draw one bumpy band across the neck first, then add the hanging strip on one side.
- Draw the mittens as little circles at the ends of the arms, with the tiny thumb loop on top.
