I want to show you how I colour a night time snow scene using markers and a white gel pen. 

1. Print or stamp your snowman onto a piece of blending card, and colour with cool grey markers. (You can colour with pencils or paints if you prefer).

2. Use a pencil to lightly sketch two "hills" behind the snowman. I've drawn them both on angles for a little more interest.

3. Colour the first hill in four light shades of grey, keeping the lightest area around the snowman and the darker areas at the sides and bottom of the panel. This will help to create a "spotlight" effect.

4. Colour the second hill with the darkest shade you used on the first hill.

5. Add another three shades keeping the darkest area at the base of the hill, just above your first hill.

6. Now colour the sky with the three darkest shades you have - I used C8, C9, and C10.

7. Use white gel pen to add "snow" to the bottom of the snowman, completely covering the bottom line of the image. Add a little more to the top of the hill on either side.

8. Add some "snow" to the top and brim of his hat, his carrot nose and any areas that would naturally catch the snowflakes, such as the gift and tops of his hands.

9. Now completely fill the panel with dots of varying sizes. Remember to take them all the way to the edge and try not to make them too uniform in size or placement.
