Along with their uniqueness, snowflakes are also very symmetrical. To capture this perfect symmetry, we are going to begin our snowflake drawing with a series of construction steps.
You can now add the third circle to your snowflake construction. Keeping the distance between the first two circles consistent, draw a larger circle around the first two.
In this step, you can now draw the final circle. In contrast to the last step, you want the gap between the fourth and fifth circles to be slightly wider.
In this step, we are going to begin laying down the foundation for the points of your snowflake drawing. Around the fifth circle, draw six pyramidal shapes.
Your final division line can now be drawn through the final four pyramidal shapes. All of these division lines should intersect right at the center of the smallest circle.
Begin with the intersecting line you drew, adding two sets of extending arms just before the ends. On the arms closest to the circles, draw two more, smaller arms.
Surrounding the rectangular shapes that you drew in the last step, outline and detail the star in any manner you please. Just make sure that your patterns are as symmetrical as possible.
You can outline and detail the inner arms on each of the division lines. Use rounded lines and add some small round particles in and around these details.
You can now simply repeat the process of the previous step on the final outer arms of your easy snowflake drawing. These patterns should be as symmetrical as possible.
You are going to add a very light shade of light gray to your snowflake drawing. Use a fine blending brush, and carefully add a light coat to the whole snowflake.
