Draw light first
Keep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.

Fluffy tail
Make the tail wide and fluffy. It is almost as big as the body.
4
Simple snowflakes
Draw a plus sign and an x on top of each other to make a quick snowflake.
5
Go over the final lines
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
