Snowfield Step-by-Step Drawing Tutorial

A snow field, snowfield or neve is an accumulation of permanent snow and ice, typically found above the snow line, normally in mountainous and glacial terrain. Glaciers originate in snowfields.

“Folly & The Hunter – Snowfields” Song lyrics

Pay respects to my courage in its coma
It was so damn cold that I lost all perspective
My smallest joints live a sacrificial drama
My biggest flaws live on top of a mountain

These snowfields begin to burden me
I haven’t seen my stronger side in weeks

I reach out yet can’t determine what is real
It was so damn cold when I braved those northern winds
For the hearth we built in the cave under these fields
Where we insulate our decaying and damaged limbs
