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.
This one dimensional drawing of a snowflake is as simple as things can get. Just a few lines, and a consistent pattern is all you need to draw a snowflake. Notice how despite being simple and plain, the pattern is still consistent. That is the most important part of drawing a snowflake. If you can ensure that, your drawing will look good, no matter how simple it might be.

When you think about it, snowflakes have a star like shape to them. Hence, kids can follow this concept to draw them. This tutorial also focuses on a plain line diagram of a snowflake. It’s basically a set of lines cutting and connecting with one another to give shape to our snowflake. A very easy and simple process which is ideal for kids of all ages.

This is conceptual art at its finest. Here, in this tutorial, we’re introduced to the idea of drawing snowflakes with white pencil, and a black background. Needless to say, this is one of the finest drawings of snowflakes you’ll ever see. The drawing is fine, the patterns are consistent, and the overall artwork looks aesthetic. This is also an easy process to follow, so I expect that you’ll be able to draw this with ease.

In this video tutorial, you’ll get to see an easy, and step by step process on how to draw a snowflake. It’s a very simple and straightforward process. The main body of the snowflake is represented with a hexagonal star shape. More lines and details are later added to this basic shape to give rise to our final 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
