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.
