How to Draw a Snow Fort

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a snow fort in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the wall.

Step 1: The wall
Start low left. Go up a bumpy side, over 3 soft bumps, down a bumpy side, back along the bottom.
Tip A snow fort is a low wall of big snow blocks, so keep every corner soft and round.
Step 2: Snowy ground
From each bottom corner of the wall, draw a gentle snow line out to the edge of the paper.
Step 3: Block rows
Draw 2 lines across the wall from side to side, curving gently like the bottom of the wall.
Step 4: Snow blocks
Between the rows, draw short up-and-down lines, staggered like bricks, to make big snow blocks.
Tip The top lines start in the dips between the bumps.
Step 5: Woolly hat
Above the middle bump, draw a hat band, a round hat on top of it and a pompom.
Step 6: A friend
Under the hat band, draw the sides of a round face down to the wall. Add 2 C ears.
Tip Your friend is hiding behind the wall, so the chin is out of sight.
Step 7: Eyes and smile
Draw 2 big eyes with a dark dot and shine. Start a smile below one eye, stop below the other.
Step 8: A flag
From the left bump, draw a stick straight up, stopping level with the pompom. Add a triangle flag.
Step 9: Snowballs
On the snow in front, to the right, draw 2 snowballs side by side and 1 on top.
Step 10: Snowflakes
In the sky, draw 3 little snowflakes. Each one is 3 short lines crossing in the middle.
Step 11: Peach face
Colour the face and ears peach, with 2 pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Light blue snow
Colour the snow light blue, right to the edges of the paper, around the snowballs.
Step 13: Red flag, blue hat
Colour the flag red and the hat blue, leaving the band and pompom white. The wall stays white.
