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: Hat and pompom
Draw a big rounded dome for the hat, with a small circle on top for the pompom. Then draw a curved band across the bottom of the dome, with a short flap hanging down on each side.
Step 3: Face and scarf
Under the hat band, draw two little dots for eyes and a happy curved smile. Then draw a puffy scarf under the chin, and a small mitten shape on the right side.
Step 4: Coat with zipper
Draw a boxy coat under the scarf that gets a little wider at the bottom. Add a belt line across the middle, a straight line down the center, and a tiny zipper pull near the top.
Step 5: Left sleeve
On the left side of the coat, draw a small tilted oval for the sleeve, starting at the coat's shoulder.
Step 6: Mittens and snowball
Draw a small circle for the mitten at the end of the left sleeve. On the right, draw a small circle for the other mitten and a bigger circle next to it for the snowball.
Step 7: Legs and boots
Draw two short lines down from the bottom of the coat for legs. At the bottom of each, draw a wide, flat oval for a chunky boot.
Step 8: Falling snowflakes
Around the kid, draw a star shape with three crossing lines, like a little asterisk. Make four of them in different spots.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in winter clothes
- Sketch the hat as a light dome first. The flaps on each side are easier to place when the dome is already there.
- The scarf is the trickiest part. Draw one curved line under the chin first, then add the puffy bottom edge so it looks like a thick roll around the neck.
- Make the two mittens and the snowball circles close in size so they look like they belong together. Draw them slowly and close each circle.

Kid in winter clothes fun fact for kids
Every snowflake has six sides, because water molecules lock together in a six-sided pattern as they freeze. That is why the snowflakes in this drawing have six arms.
