How to Draw An Ice Cream Cone – Let’s Get Started!
To get this guide on how to draw an ice cream cone started, we shall be starting with the cone part of the equation! This first step will be made much easier if you have a ruler on hand to help you out.
To draw this cone, simply draw two horizontal lines that meet at a slight curve at the bottom of the cone.
This will form the basis of your cone, and we will be adding a lot more detail to it in the next few steps, so let’s move on!
Step 2 – Draw some ice cream on the cone
It wouldn’t be much of an ice cream cone drawing if it didn’t have any ice cream on it! For that reason we shall add some to the image in this second step.
To draw a nice big dollop of ice cream on top of the cone, we shall start with a round, curved line over it.
Then, once you have that top curved line you can add four smaller curved lines underneath it to show that the ice cream is bulging over the rim.
Finally, before we move on to step two you can add a slightly curved line across the top of the cone just under the ice cream to form the top of the cone.
Step 3 – Now, start adding some detail to the cone
We mentioned adding some detailing to the cone in a previous step, so we shall do that in this step of our guide on how to draw an ice cream cone.
For this design, we will be drawing a series of lines going diagonally across the ice cream cone as shown in the reference image. The lines will also go quite closely together.
This step needs a bit of patience and a steady hand, but your patience will be rewarded once the pattern is complete!
How to Draw an Ice Cream Cone Tutorial Video
Many students first learn how to draw an ice cream cone with a simple triangle and stacked circles on top. That’s certainly not a bad way to start when they are just trying to figure out how to make a pencil do what they want. Perfecting simple shapes is the name of the game then.
But at a certain point, some may be ready to draw something a little more realistic … AND maybe a little more yummy looking? Especially if they are fans of soft ice cream. So instead of the usual waffle cone and hard scoops on top, here’s how they can draw a standing cone with a soft swirl and curly tip. Once they have the shape down, there’s no limit to the color (and flavor) combinations that can be added!
