Step by Step Snow Globe Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Base
Begin by drawing a curved “U” shape near the bottom of your page. This forms the base that supports your snow globe.
Step 2 – Add the Globe
Now draw a large circle sitting perfectly on top of the base. This is the glass globe that holds the snowy scene inside.
Step 3 – Draw the Snowy Ground
Inside the circle, near the bottom, draw a soft bumpy hill. This creates the snowy surface where your scene will sit.
Step 4 – Add a Christmas Tree
Time to decorate! Draw a Christmas tree with layers of stacked triangles and a trunk in the center of the snowy ground. Don’t forget a shiny star on top!
Step 5 – Draw the Falling Snow
Add lots of small circles scattered around inside the globe to show falling snowflakes. Place them randomly to give a floating, magical effect.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
To finish, add two small dots for eyes and a smiling mouth to the base of the snow globe. Now your drawing has personality and cheer!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I change what’s inside the snow globe?
Of course! You can add a snowman, reindeer, gifts, or even a cozy cabin. It’s your magical world!
What colors should I use?
Try blues, whites, and purples for a wintery look, or go festive with reds, greens, and golds. The base can be any color you like!
Is this tutorial good for school use?
Yes! It’s simple, fun, and great for both individual and group art projects. It works well for holiday bulletin boards and handmade cards.
What if I can’t draw perfect circles?
That’s okay! Use a round object (like a cup) to trace your globe, or just draw it freehand — it adds charm either way!
