1. Begin by drawing the snowman's head. Draw a curved horizontal triangle to create the carrot nose. Around it, use curved lines to outline the round head. Notice that the lines do not connect at the top. Then, shade two small ovals for the eyes made out of coal.

4. Use a long curved line to enclose the round shape of the final section of the body. Then, draw the arm.

Use a pair of parallel curved lines to outline the stick. Then, draw a short curved line overlapping the ends of the arm. Draw an oval around the tip of the arm to begin sketching the mitten.

6. Draw the remaining arm, erasing as necessary. Draw a curved line across the body, forming the spot where the stick penetrates the snow.

Then, extend a pair of curved lines that are roughly parallel to one another. Notice how one line diverges then doubles back upon itself to form another twig of the stick. At the end, draw a short line that overlaps both lines.

Then, draw an oval around it to begin sketching the mitten.
