🖌️ How to Draw Snowflakes – Step by Step
Step 1: Draw the Center of the Snowflake
1️⃣ Start by drawing a small circle in the middle of your page.
2️⃣ This will be the center of the snowflake, where all branches connect.
Step 2: Add the First Snowflake Branches
1️⃣ Using a ruler, draw a long vertical line passing through the center.
2️⃣ Next, draw a diagonal line from the top left to the bottom right.
3️⃣ Then, add another diagonal line in the opposite direction.
4️⃣ Now you have six evenly spaced reference lines forming the base of the snowflake.
Step 3: Draw the First Snowflake Branch
1️⃣ Using the reference line, draw a vertical rectangle from top to bottom, extending to the center.
2️⃣ Next, draw another rectangle from from the top left to the bottom right, use the reference lines
3️⃣ Then, add another rectangle in the opposite direction.
4️⃣ Now you have six evenly spaced rectangles based on reference lines forming the base of the snowflake.
Step 4: Sketch the Smaller Branches
1️⃣ On each of the six main branches, draw two smaller branches on each side. At the end of each branch, draw tiny V-shapes or diamond shapes to add crystal details.
2️⃣ These smaller branches should angle outward, like tree branches.
3️⃣ Make sure they are evenly spaced and symmetrical!
4️⃣ If you want, add tiny dots or sparkles around the snowflake for a frosty effect! ❄️✨
Step 5: Outline and Color Your Snowflake
1️⃣ Go over your drawing with a black marker to make the lines bold.
2️⃣ Color the snowflake light blue or silver to give it a frosty look! ❄️💙
3️⃣ Use shading techniques to add depth and make the snowflake stand out.
And that’s it! You now know how to draw a snowflake step by step! 🎉❄️
