How To Draw Snowflakes

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

There are very few things in this world that are naturally aesthetic. A snowflake is one of them. Their beautiful patters, and majestic appearance are amazing to look at. Snowflakes are artistic in every way imaginable, and to be able to draw them gives me a sense of peace and serenity. But how do you draw snowflakes? Well, that’s a question I’ve asked myself, and have found the answer to once I looked through some amazing tutorials.

The most important thing to remember while drawing a snowflake is to keep its pattern consistent throughout the drawing. If you’re able to do that, drawing a snowflake will be a piece of cake. Apart from that, there’s not much to do.

Drawing a Cartoon Snowflake

Drawing a Cartoon Snowflake

Unlike regular snowflakes, these cartoonish ones can be made from your wildest imaginations. However, for this particular cartoon snowflake, it’s as simple as it can get. Instead of a star pattern at its core, this snowflake goes for a circle, with arrow like lines pointing towards its center. It’s a very plain drawing, and lacks creativity if you ask me. But nevertheless, I think it’s a quick draw for cases where you need to throw in a lot of snowflakes.

A Cute Snowflake

A Cute Snowflake

Another way to draw a cartoon snowflake is by transforming the snowflake into a character. That’s exactly what’s been done in this drawing. It’s actually quite cute to look at. Even the patterns are consistent here. This isn’t exactly the style I’d opt for, but it’s a unique concept, and I do like it to some extent. The tutorial itself is perfect for kindergarteners.

Tutorial Number 7 Drawing Wars

The Snowflake from Disney’s Frozen

The Snowflake from Disney’s Frozen

We’re all more or less familiar with Disney’s hit animated movie, “Frozen”. This tutorial shows us how to draw snowflakes that were seen in this movie. The pattern followed for this design is a bit complex and tricky. In addition to that, there’s also the need to keep lots of things consistent here. All in all, this is a fine design, and might need you a bit of time to get it right.

Easy Way to Draw the Frozen Snowflake

Easy Way to Draw the Frozen Snowflake

This tutorial takes an easier approach to drawing the snowflake from Disney’s Frozen. It’s not like the patterns here are any less complex, but this one shows you how to get things done in a rough manner using line art. Definitely an easier rendition compared to the previous approach. However, this one does slightly lack in terms of quality. For me, I’d prefer the previous concept over this one. But nevertheless, if you’re struggling with the first approach to this design, this one will definitely seem easier.

Tutorial Number 9 Drawing Wars

Quick Snowflake Drawings

Quick Snowflake Drawings

This tutorial shows you how to draw a variety of snowflake patterns and designs in a very short amount of time. This approach is basically for cases where you’re having to draw a lot of snowflakes within a short period of time. The consistency in pattern is sort of lost in these designs. You might even call it sloppy. But the purpose of this video is to learn how to create snowflakes quickly, and I’m guessing the appeal of the designs themselves is lost in translation.

Tutorial Number 10 Drawing Wars

Plethora of Minimalistic Snowflake Design

Plethora of Minimalistic Snowflake Design

This is another quick snowflake drawing approach, but this time, the designs are much more consistent in terms of appeal, as well as the patterns. I call these designs minimalistic in the sense that they’re basically line arts. The designs are absolutely simple, and even for a quick drawing approach, you can’t get them wrong.
