Drawing a simple snowflake is easy and fun. Here’s a quick, beginner-friendly method you can follow right away. Direct steps (super simple version)

• Start with a vertical line: Draw a straight line. This will be one of the “spokes” of your snowflake.
• Add the sixfold symmetry: From the center, add five more lines at 60-degree angles, so you have six equally spaced spokes like a star.
• Add small V shapes on each spoke: On every spoke, near the outer end, draw a small V shape (like a chevron) pointing outward. Do this on all six spokes so they match.
• Finish with tiny details: Between each pair of spokes, add a short dash or tiny arc to suggest ice crystal texture. You can keep these very simple or add more tiny V shapes if you like.
• Erase and refine: If you used guidelines, erase them so only the six spokes and the decorative tips remain.

Tips to customize

• Keep it light: Use a pencil at first so you can erase mistakes, then trace with a pen or darker pencil.
• Make it look frosty: Add faint shading along the edges of the spokes to give a 3D ice-like feel.
• Vary the center: Instead of a plain center, draw a small circle or hexagon at the middle and attach the spokes from there.
• Different line weights: Use thinner lines for the inner spokes and slightly thicker lines for the outer decorative tips to create depth.

For more variations, you can:

• Create six arms with more decorative end shapes (circles, tiny triangles, or additional V shapes).
• Add tiny dots along the spokes to mimic snow crystal patterns.
• Experiment with symmetry: draw the core 6-spoke framework first, then mirror decorative elements on each arm to keep symmetry.

If you’d like, I can tailor the steps for a specific style (cute, geometric, or realistic) or provide a printable outline to trace.
