Notes on snow crystals, Vermont

Empty drawing area: a six-fold snowflake appears here as you draw
Drawn at the benchHand-drawn plate · Vermont, 1885

Draw in the shaded wedge and the page repeats your lines into a six-armed snowflake, each arm mirrored, as you draw. Pick an ink, set the brush, and keep going until the pattern pleases you.

Saving and sharing

Save as image downloads your drawing as a PNG on a pale background. Copy link gives you an address that holds every stroke, so whoever opens it sees your snowflake, on any device. A drawing with a great many fine strokes may be too large for a link; the image still saves.
