Step 1
Draw a big circle near the bottom of the page. This is the snowman's base.

Step 2
Draw a smaller circle on top of the first one, overlapping it a little.

Step 3
Add an even smaller circle on top for the head.

Step 4
Draw a top hat: a flat oval for the brim, a tall rectangle on top and a band around it.
-
Step 5
Give your snowman a face with coal eyes, a carrot nose and a smile made of little dots.

Finish with stick arms, a cozy scarf and three coal buttons.
