To draw an easy snowflake, follow these simple steps:
- Draw six straight intersecting lines (like a star) evenly spaced out from a central point, forming the base of the snowflake. Imagine the lines like spokes on a wheel, with 60 degrees between each.
- Add small "V" shapes at the end of each line to create the tips of the snowflake branches.
- Draw smaller "V" shapes or simple embellishments (triangles, short diagonal lines) along the lines between the tips and the center, making sure the pattern is symmetrical on all six branches.
- Optionally, add circles or other simple shapes to decorate the branches.
- Outline the snowflake with a darker pen or pencil, and erase any extra pencil guidelines.
This approach makes it easy for beginners or kids to draw a pretty snowflake without complexity. The key is symmetry and repeating the same shapes on each of the six branches.
