Winter Pencil Drawings

Winter drawings in pencil: a boy skiing, a child on a sled, a girl ice skating, kids building a snowman, a child throwing a snowball and a girl catching snowflakes. There are animals too: a fox diving into a snowdrift, a squirrel with a pine cone, a great tit on a branch and a white hare, plus cabins in a snowy forest with mountains.

Start with the outline in an HB pencil and add shadows with a soft pencil. Leave the snow as white paper.

Questions and answers

What is the easiest winter pencil drawing?

A wooden sled, a pair of ice skates, fur boots or a great tit on a branch. They have few details and simple shapes. Then move on to the kids building a snowman or a cabin in the snowy forest.

How do you draw snow with a pencil?

You barely draw it: leave the paper white and lightly shade the snowdrifts and the ground under the trees. Show falling snow with small dots and stars.

Which pencil should I use for a winter drawing?

An HB pencil for the outline and a soft 2B or 4B for shadows. Use an eraser to clean up extra lines and add highlights on the snow.
