And at first, put the gray scale at the background as usual and now select directly white color and start to create the head of the Snowman. Just like this. And you can make it like not perfect Suqu and Snowman is, like, this body part and the much more bigger parts of this side, just like this. And after it, go to the blue color and select a bit darker blue. And this darker blue like cold blue, I mean, it creates really good amount of realism, and snow is really cold. So you need to give this look like that's why I'm using blue instead of Blake tones. And for these parts, it will be much more darker because it is inside it and other parts here and zoom into face. And this part will be much darker place in the face, just like this and like this. You can use much more saturated blue at these parts and these parts. 3. Painting Face: And after it zoom into the face. At first, just paint, place the eye sockets, and you can paint black light sockets here, just like this. And again, you can paint like black stones here. For create motto of it. And for the nose, I will paint carat just like this and zoom in here, and you need to paint darker parts just like this. And this part will be darker because like light comes from the left top, this part light scans, and it will be darker place of the illustration. And for carrot, I can paint it much more darker, just like this. And of course, for the light, I will select a bit yellowish color and will apply over it. To create realistic look of it. Of course, for the other part, you can paint the shadow of these rocks to give it an extra realism. And let's add the scarf of the snowball. 4. Painting Details: Like he has some scarf here like this. And at some parts, it is really darker, just like this. And this part also darker. And don't forget light comes from the left top. So this place will be much more darker. And this part will be like this and I will add the lights of it, and from this part, I will add lights here, just like this. And let's add cap two, just like this. Yeah. And the other parts of the cap will be like this. And this part of the cap will be fluffy. You can make it like cotton like.

And for the other side, I will continue to paint just like this. And again, you can add some highlights over here because scarf is really vibrant and you can show the fabric of the a cap, just like this. And, of course, we need to don't forget the shadows under the cap, and it will be really, really, really darker. But again, I will also add the small details here, like cotton like effect and come to the ice and paint the lights of the s and carrots, just like this. And what we can do is adding some extra stuff here. For example, I can put classical stuff here just like this. And it is made from the wooden. Like, if you remember, some snowmans have this feature, like it adds the snowman really good effect and great detail. And sometimes when I do snowman at the street, I add this stuff, and some I find it from somewhere, and I always try to put this stuff on it. And just like this, it is looking much more great right now. And what we will do is making this part much more darker and make some parts really visible and light because it will be shiny at some surfaces, just like this. And I will add some lights over this thick area and this thick area just like this. And yeah.
