"Hello, I'm Matt Cail on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you today how to draw a snowman cartoon for this holiday season. Let's move on to the main body. The main body is easy basically what we are going to have is three central balls here so we already did the first one, the head. So now let's draw kind of the next ball down the snowman's torso. Again we are just kind of following the same pattern we already drawn up here above. The only difference is first off we are not drawing everything in but we are letting the snowman's head rest on the top, it's nice it means a little bit less drawing for us. You just make it a little bit bigger the law of gravity applies it's not like the snowman is going to be getting smaller. So we do that there and we draw another one widest of all down like this. I'm just squiggling as I go along here if I don't like something I just go back and it's a real quick erase it's not a one shot deal. None of this stuff is the biggest mistakes of all kinds of drawing especially cartoons. People think you have to get it right the first time, no way. Not event the professionals you know what I'll break the news to you they don't either. So you have your three main balls here you have your snowman's main body drawn in the other thing I like to do is I don't like the snowman to be floating in air. So what I usually do is I'll just draw a couple of lines here on the sides nothing complicated at least not for now. What does this do? Well obviously the snowman is somewhere in space he's not floating in some other world."
