Winter is a wonderful time of the year. Everything is swept by snow, all water bodies are covered with ice - it is not only beautiful, but also incredibly fun. After all, there is so much fun! And you can ski and sled or even skate! Another good and fun activity is making a snowman. This process especially attracts children who, along with their parents, as well as grandparents, can get very involved in this and not stop at the classic version, and then make another dog, cat, house and their whole family. And then at school they are asked to draw a snowman, whom they blinded.
This is where the difficulties of parents begin, because it is they who have to help their children. In addition, especially curious people begin to ask questions: “Where did he come from? Is he bad or good? Why is he needed? ” - and many others, which only have enough childish imagination. We will help you with both.
Before you draw a snowman, a little history. There are several theories of their appearance. In Russia, it is customary to adhere to two. According to the first, the snow woman personifies the spirit of winter. And a long time ago it was customary to sculpt them and ask for something concerning winter or frost, for example, to make it warmer. Adherents of the second theory believe that snowmen are the embodiment of angels, because we get material for them from the sky. And Europeans considered them evil. It used to be a belief that you can’t look at them at night, so everyone tried to avoid them.
But now, as soon as snow falls, they can be seen at almost every house where there are children. After all, sculpting a snowman is a small holiday of winter. And it’s not difficult to do this, even a schoolboy will cope. It’s easier to just draw a snowman.
It is enough to make three comas and put them on one another. The lower one is the largest, and the upper one is the smallest - this is the head.
Then put on an unnecessary bucket instead of a hat, a broom in your hands, and a carrot instead of a nose. The remaining missing parts are replaced with coals - these are the eyes, buttons and mouth. And in their absence by any other pebbles.
Possible difficulties
Before you draw a snowman with a pencil, step by step we will analyze all the difficulties that we may have in the process.
Scarf. To paint it, you can apply the usual lines obliquely, and in the place where the dark stripes, add strokes perpendicular to the existing ones.
Hat. To draw it, we apply the same diagonal hatching, and where the places are darker - cross. Where it is necessary to make glare, slightly wipe with an eraser, making, thus, a bright area.
