Hi everyone! Today, I’ll walk you through how to draw a snowman with a bird on its hand. This snowman is all set for the holidays, wearing a cozy Christmas beanie, bright red gloves with white cuffs, and featuring all the classic details like a carrot nose and two red buttons on its belly. To make it even more charming, it’s whistling a cheerful tune, with its mouth shaped perfectly for that snowy serenade. Let’s bring this festive character to life!

Capturing the Festive Spirit

To get started, let’s focus on the details that make this snowman stand out:

• A round, classic snowman figure with three stacked snowballs for the body.
• A bright red Christmas beanie with a white pom-pom on top and a scarf.
• Carrot-shaped nose and a cheerful whistle-ready mouth.
• Red mittens with white cuffs and stick arms for that rustic charm.
• A friendly bird perched on one hand, adding a touch of nature to the scene.
• Two red buttons on its belly for added detail.

Once you’ve mastered this character, you might want to try drawing other holiday-themed characters like the Grinch or Lisa Simpson as an elf, to complete your festive artwork collection! You may also want to check an easy guide for Santa.

Building Your Snowman Drawing

To help guide you through the process, I’ve created a step-by-step approach with clear instructions and visual indicators:

• Red Color: Focus on this area for the current step.
• Black Color: Lines you’ve already completed.
• Grey Color: The basic sketch outlines for reference.

Keep these in mind as you work through the steps to make your snowman with a bird on its hand as festive as possible!

Step 1: Start with the outline of the snowman’s scarf. Draw a simple curved shape wrapping around where the neck would be, with overlapping edge going out to create a layered look.

Step 2: Draw the outline of the head above the scarf. Make it a slightly flattened circle.

Step 3: Add the cuff of the beanie hat. This part sits snugly around the snowman’s head, so draw a curved band following the shape of the head.

Step 4: Sketch the rest of the beanie’s outline, extending it upwards with a slight curve to make it look soft. Add a pom-pom on top as a fluffy circle.

Step 5: Draw a simple curved twig below the scarf on the right side. This will be the snowman’s stick arm. Make it slightly uneven for a realistic look.

Step 6: Outline the middle section of the snowman’s body as a slightly larger snowball below the head.

Step 7: Add the lower section of the body as a big oval, creating the snowman’s base. Make it the largest of the three sections.

Step 8: Finish the twig arm on the right by adding more detail and a simple glove at the end. On the left side, draw the second twig arm with its own glove.

Step 9: Add the snowman’s facial features. Draw crescent shapes for the closed eyes, a triangular carrot nose, a whistling-shaped mouth, and small eyebrows. Add two buttons to the middle section of the body.

Step 10: Start drawing the bird perched on the snowman’s hand. Begin with simple lines for the legs, a curved lower body, and a small triangular beak.

Step 11: Add the wing and outline the bird’s head. Outline the head.

Step 12: Add the bird’s eye as a small black circle with a smal blank dot, a line on the beak for detail, and another line from the wing to its forehead.

Step 13: The snowman drawing is complete. Check for any missing details or uneven lines, and erase any pencil marks for a clean finish.

Step 14: Start coloring the snowman. Use red for the beanie, scarf, buttons, and gloves. Optionally, add a light blue shadow to the snowman’s body and white cuffs. Shade the scarf, buttons, beanie, and gloves as shown in the image. For the bird, use two shades of brown or any colors you prefer.
