How to Draw an Frosty the Snowman

A rather simple-looking Frosty the Snowman - this lesson pays tribute, with a likeness to the one we see in the cartoon.
Using simple shapes as a framework, something to help us visualize *where the lines will go* - BEFORE we actually put them down...
May just help you to come up with a more proportional-looking drawing.
But of course - and as always...
Have tons of fun as you branch of from the 'ideas' here on this page - and go on to add/subtract/change yours however you like...
So you end up with a cool-looking drawing, that's unique to you!
Let's begin. :-)
How to Draw a Frosty the Snowman
Very first thing then - let's go ahead and draw - a simple looking framework... something to help us visualize the character's structure, before we actually draw him.
Below, you can see how really - his shape comes down to two big shapes - an oval for the body, and a circle for the head.
Use this example - to give you some ideas, of how you'll tackle your drawing...

And next - it's up to Frosty the Snowman's head - around the cross area...
So we can sketch in the beginnings of his face - starting with his round nose, and his mouth. Looks like this...

Next step - fading what we just drew, out to grey...
Map out the top of his hat (the brim) - notice how it curves, matching the curvature in the cross lines in the framework. It's tilted, so that we can see a little bit, up and underneath it.
And the eyes. Draw them too!

OK - next...
Go ahead and begin to bring forth - the shape of Frosty the Snowman's head and body.
Notice how I'm selective with which lines I place in sequence. It's not necessary to do this, as I do recommend you keep your lines free, and flowing, and sketchy, and messy even.
Make mistakes - and always remember...
This is only a lesson - an example. It's meant to give you ideas, to improve on your own creations.
Moving forward...

Next up - sketch in four more simple, curved lines - ones that help to establish volume and weight in our character.
Amazing, such simple lines - are all it takes, when we know ahead of time... the specific pose/stance, our character is going to take on...

Moving around the drawing - with key lines in place...
In the next step - go ahead and begin to develop the other parts of Frosty - ones that 'just sort of fit into place' - since we've already mapped out key lines - ones that *suggest* and/or *foreshadow* and/or *hint* - at just where the next lines need to go.
Here's how it's looking...

So we're just about done.
Top hat. Check!
Buttons. Check!

And here is complete - black and white, minus the framework lines...

And then, with *just a touch* of color...

...our cartoon drawing of Frosty the Snowman, is complete!
...
Well, I really hope you had fun with this lesson.
Hey, how did yours turn out anyway?
Did you give him a corn-cob pipe? Button nose? Two eyes made out of coal?
Did you put a feather in his hat? Did you give him some clothes?
However you drew yours...
Awesome!
See you soon for another lesson. :-)
