🌨️ Blizzard

Blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong sustained winds and low visibility.

In a blizzard, visibility is about the same as in a very thick fog because the snow above the ground creates a dense curtain, and you can’t see a damn thing. Besides, if the wind is in your face, you can’t see either because it’s very hard to open your eyes.

The simplest way to depict a blizzard is to draw someone who’s standing up to it.

To figure out the pose, I first drew a stick figure with a round head—just to see how he walks against the wind and how he covers his face with his hand.

Then I started repeating the same figure but in more detail, starting with the legs so it’s clear he’s walking with difficulty. Next, I added a jacket and a scarf streaming in the wind, along with a hand shielding his face from the wind. Tracks from felt boots in the snow also add to the atmosphere.

After the person turned out well, all that’s left is to add the wind and snowflakes.
