How to Draw an Easy Snowflake

Step 1.


Start with a small circle in the middle of the flake, and then draw five spider like lines that come from the center and move out on an angle.

Step 2.


Now sketch out the center of the snowflake to a point where it looks almost like an octagon.

Step 3.


Now you will start sketching out the first of five large tops of the snowflake. Notice how this particular design looks very much like a leaf. When you are done here, you can move to the next step.

Step 4.


Continue to draw two more main tops to the snowflake the same way you drew the first one. Notice how they are all going to be uniform in shape, size, and design.

Step 5.


For the last step, all you have to do is draw out the last main tops like you see here. Now if you wanted to be really creative, you can draw in some small nods in the centers of each flake arm, or you can just go ahead and leave it how it is. Noneth   

Step 6.


Now that you are done, here is what your snowflake should end up looking like. Now you can have fun drawing multiple flakes to create a winter wonderland. Great job everyone, and thanks for viewing this tutorial on how to draw an easy snowflake.
