Snowflake pencil drawing for the New Year 2019

How to draw a small beautiful snowflake: step by step description
On paper with a pencil
To draw a beautiful snowflake with a simple pencil on paper, you need to pay special attention to the base. The most important thing in a snowflake is the symmetry and evenness of the lines. We will need a sheet of white paper, an eraser and a simple pencil.
First, draw a small circle in the middle of the paper sheet. After that, you should proceed to drawing the base. From the middle of the circle, draw six rays of the same length. It is necessary that the angle between the rays is also the same.
Next, mentally imagine a hexagon with our circle in the center and connect the vertices of this figure. Above the vertices of the hexagon, with a pencil, outline the corners with short strokes. They will look like original roofs of houses.
We connect the short corners to the center of the crystal by drawing straight lines from the tips of the corner to the central circle. Versatile pentagons are obtained, narrowed towards the center of the crystal. From these pentagons we draw lines that connect at the ends of the main rays of the snowflake. The rays turn into sharp elongated tips.
So the “framework” of our snowflake is ready. Then you can show your imagination and draw various branches from the main lines. You can depict various curls to get a slightly openwork pattern, or you can stick to only straight lines and angles. The main thing is that the rays are identical. Extra lines can be erased with an eraser.
The more strokes, corners, twigs and curls on a snowflake, the more voluminous it is. Rays may not necessarily be six, you can draw three or, conversely, eight. But a small snowflake should not be drawn with too intricate design.
In order to make the drawing look more realistic, you can shade the rays with a simple pencil, and also paint them in blue.
On nails
Patterns on nails in the form of snowflakes are a fairly popular option for winter manicure. The most famous symbol of winter is not so difficult to depict on nails. With due diligence and observance of certain subtleties, any girl will cope with this.
There are several ways to depict miniature snow crystals on your nails. But first you need to prepare your nails for applying art. First, you need to file the irregularities of the nail plate with a ceramic or glass nail file. Then the surface of the nails must be polished with a special soft buff bar. Also, the nails must be degreased with alcohol or acetone.
Ways to depict beautiful snowflakes on the nail: with a needle or toothpick, dots, brush:
- If a snowflake is drawn with a needle or a toothpick, then the drawing must be applied to a dry transparent or colored base. Dip a needle or toothpick into the varnish and carefully put a small dot on the surface of the nail. Then draw a cross with a dot in the center. Next, on top of the cross, draw miniature lines in the shape of an "x". And already from these rays we remove small touches so that the snowflake is fluffy.
- With the help of dots, you can depict crystals in dot technique. To do this, put a larger dot in the middle with a tool, and small dots around. After we connect alternately small points from the central one. The detail of the snowflake depends on the size of the ball on the tool.
- With the help of a thin brush, we can depict a snow symbol with lines of different thicknesses. You need to apply the drawing on a dried base. We draw a straight cross, diagonal on top, supplement with strokes and dots at the tips. This method requires more care and attention.
Snowflakes on nails can be arranged in different ways. You can make such patterns not on all fingers, but on one or two, depicting one large snowflake. You can draw not a whole crystal, but half of it. There are many options, you just have to use your imagination.
On the window with toothpaste
Snowflakes on the windows are an excellent decorative decoration for the New Year. Such beauty is very easy to make with ordinary toothpaste. All you need to decorate windows is white toothpaste without additives and inclusions, medium-weight paper, scissors, a dishwashing sponge or a piece of foam rubber.
First, you need to cut out snowflakes of the shape you like from paper.
It is better to take not too thick, but not too thin paper, such that it can be glued to the glass with water, and at the same time it does not tear.
If you don’t want to cut it yourself, or you don’t know how to do it, then the store sells stencils for every taste.
After the snowflakes are ready, wash the glasses well and moisten them with a little water. Until the window is dry, you can stick snowflakes to the glass.
Additionally, you can secure them with tape. Then we wait twenty minutes until the window dries.
In any bowl, mix toothpaste with water. The consistency should not be too liquid, it is better that the paste and water be equally divided. But you can experiment with different ratios, then the effect will be different, more saturated or less saturated.
You can make different background saturation in different corners of the window, then there will be a gradient effect, as if the window is frozen. Snowflakes can be made in different sizes, or one huge snowflake can be placed on one window.
Beautiful snowflake patterns are in demand in different areas life: these are simple children's drawings, and manicure, and decorative decoration of the house. And most importantly, it is an affordable tool that allows you to bring a little winter aesthetics into your life. In addition, almost everyone can make a decoration using a snow pattern, and a minimum of funds will be needed for this.
How about handmade postcards on New Year for your friends and family? I offer several ideas with snowflakes.
Handicrafts are always appreciated, especially during the holidays. They are even more special when they give you the opportunity to spend time with friends and loved ones creating something beautiful together.
How to draw watercolor snowflakes for postcards
These watercolor snowflake cards are super easy and fun to make. They can be drawn even with younger children. The colorful snowflakes are a festive motif and perfect for those with a set watercolor paints, brushes and some watercolor paper. Let's get started!
You will need:
- Watercolor paint set
- Round brush #8
- Watercolor paper cut into postcard-sized sheets
- simple pencil
- Eraser-nag
- Snowflake Templates You Can Find Online
- Bank with clean water
- Paper towels to dry your brushes
- Watercolor pencils, if available
Step 1: preparation of drawings
If you have snowflake templates, then you need to print them out, put them under the sheet on which you will draw, lean everything against the window and translate the snowflake according to the template with a simple pencil. Either you can draw the snowflakes yourself without a template, or you can cut out the template and trace around it.
For children, simpler shapes are suitable, while adults can choose more complex designs. I placed them randomly on the page. My finished drawings looked like this:
Then, use a nag eraser to lighten the pencil lines. The lines should be slightly visible before you start coloring. Now it's watercolor time!
Step 2: Draw the First Snowflake
Using the tip of your Pointy Round Watercolor Brush and some clean water, start painting over one section of the snowflake at a time. I worked systematically, starting at the top and moving clockwise - so the water surface wouldn't dry out before I applied the paint.
After you have painted the water surface in a certain area, take a small amount of paint from the kit and drip it into the water glaze, again using the brush tip. Be as careful as possible around places that should be left white - but as you'll see, it doesn't have to be perfect, it will be very pretty anyway!
Continue dripping paint in shades of blue, green, purple and pink, stopping where the water glaze ends.
Once you are satisfied with the color, put the brush down, take the paper and tilt it gently in each direction, allowing various colors paints blend for a soft and colorful effect. Continue this process until you have done it all the way around the snowflake, cleaning up the edges if necessary.
Step 3: Coloring the Remaining Snowflakes
Use the same method for all the other snowflakes on your postcard.
I have found that working in one area simplifies the process. So I lifted and tilted the postcard in different directions before I moved on to the next section.
Step 4: Remove Pencil Marks
When all the snowflakes on your card are completely dry, use an eraser to carefully remove any remaining pencil marks.
Another fun variation for your watercolor postcards
On another postcard, I tried the tie effect.
Using watercolor pencils, I transferred the snowflake template onto paper. Watercolor pencils are great because they add even more color when applied with water and watercolor.
These postcards are very easy and fun to make! Please your family and friends!
The lesson is translated from craftsy.com.
In this lesson you will learn how to draw a snowflake step by step with a pencil in an easy and simple way. We will draw three options from the simplest to the more complex, but in the course of drawing we will get 8 different snowflakes.
Let's start. Draw a vertical line and two diagonal lines that intersect at the same point in the middle. Now, on the edges of each stick, draw a checkmark or the English letter V. This is the simplest and most common image of a snowflake. I have it drawn as earrings.
But we will embellish it, and also the same checkmarks, only draw small ones near the base.
Let's draw another version of the snowflake. Let's start with the base, we drew it, then draw a small circle in the middle and not very large checkmarks along the edges.
You can erase the middle, you can leave it as it is and still draw masusenkie sticks in the middle of each section along the outer area of the circle, as well as a V just above the drawn ones and smaller.
Now we draw the most beautiful snowflake of all. Base, inside we paint over the circle and also draw a small circle, as in the picture below.
We draw large V near the base on each of the rays, then a little higher and a little higher and smaller these checkmarks. Already a very beautiful snowflake turned out.
Also in the middle, as in the figure, draw straight lines in the middle.
We draw a snowflake because the new year is coming soon. All snowflakes are different, so our drawings will be different. Snowflakes fly very fast and it is very difficult to see a snowflake and remember its pattern. You can catch it in your hand and in a second it will melt. Everyone can come up with their own snowflake pattern and draw a snowflake with a pencil in stages. First, draw a crosshair, and then invent her branches like a Christmas tree. But the most important thing is that you must not forget when you want to draw a snowflake with a pencil or paints or whatever, that the snowflake is very symmetrical. That is, no matter how you twist the picture of a snowflake, it will be the same from all sides. The new year will pass, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden will go north, and your pencil drawing of a snowflake will continue to delight you and remind you of the new year.
Do you know why snowflakes are hexagonal?
Snowflakes follow the structure of the water molecule and are made up of ice crystals joined together. Moreover, they are connected in an infinite number of ways, they say that in nature there are no two identical snowflakes! And it’s also interesting that the shape and size of a snowflake depends on the distance it flew to the ground and the conditions in which it was located, namely humidity, temperature and pressure. The largest snowflake ever seen was 38cm in diameter and 20cm thick in 1887. Can you imagine!?
In the meantime, it’s frosty outside, the house is always warm and cozy, if you don’t want to go outside today, then you can get creative and draw for the New Year!
How to draw snowflakes?
There are many ways to draw snowflakes, you can also use the descriptions of how to draw a snowflake in stages. But this is too banal, but I want to show you more original ways to draw snowflakes:
- Coloring snowflakes with paints using a stencil from adhesive tape. This type of creativity is ideal for preschoolers 2-4 years old. As you can see, the author uses art canvases for the basis of the painting (but it is quite possible to replace them with thick watercolor paper). An adhesive tape is glued on it, resembling the outline of a snowflake or. Arm the child with a wide brush and blue or blue paint, let it evenly paint over the entire surface. After the paint is completely dry, remove your snowflakes - stencils and the picture is ready!
The snowflake pattern that you see in the photo below resembles the previous technique, but here is a slightly different secret:
1. On a sheet of white paper, draw a snowflake with white wax crayon.
2. Paint over the entire surface of the sheet.
3. See what happens.
An interesting idea was to make snowflake stamps from a plastic bottle.
And the last idea is drawing snowflakes on paper. And do not forget to sign the date and the baby's name, so it will be interesting to compare the size of your favorite pens every year!
