Step 5 – Drawing the Eyes:

Create a new layer and name it as Eyes. Draw two simple circles and fill them with #000000. Right-click on the Eyes layer and choose Blending Options. Activate Drop Shadow and set its opacity to 30%, distance to 3 and size to 0. Leave the rest of settings as default.

Step 6a – Drawing the Nose:

Create a new layer and name it as Nose. Using Pen tool, draw a cone shaped path. You may need to Convert Point tool to adjust the edges a little.

Step 6b – Drawing the Nose:

Go to Paths tab and make the cone path as a selection. Back to Layers tab and on the Nose layer, fill it with linear gradient starting from top (colors are #FFB036 and #FE2E00). I found the nose is too sharp so made it blunt by drawing a small circle at the tip and erase the excessive portion.

Step 7f – Creating Furball:

Duplicate another 3 furballs from the layer you have just drawn into several other layers. Resize and position them (moving Move tool) like the ones on top.

Step 8 – Adding Snow Dust:

Create a new layer and name it as Snow Dust. Select the Dry Brush from one of the default brush presets.
Set the foreground color to #FFFFFF, brush size to 30, and paint some snow dust on the cap and furballs.

Step 9 – Adding Snow Floor:

Create a new topmost layer and name it as Snow Floor. Use Brush tool with color #FFFFFF, paint a wavy floor at the bottom of the snowman. Then set the foreground color to #CCCCCC and add in some shadows to it.

Ok there we have the snowman! i have added some snow at the background to complete the whole design.
