We'll be drawing two ice cream cones side by side, using simple shapes. The ice cream on the right will be slightly smaller. Use pencil 4H it is best for construction lines and drawing an outline, plus easy to erase. Start by drawing two circles for the top of the ice cream. Right circle slightly smaller. Shown in Black.
Great! Draw a horizontal rectangle just at the bottom of each circle, this will be the top of our cones. Shown in Red.
Awesome! One more step closer to the colorful part. Draw vertical rectangle for each of the ice creams, shown in Blue.
Draw a small circle at the top of the right ice cream cone (the smaller one). Later this will be a cherry on top! Draw a rectangle at the top of the left (larger one) ice cream cone, pointing up and left. Shown in Orange.
To create an outline we'll be using 2B pencil. Start with a wavy line between top of the cone and start of the ice cream. This will show how ice cream is melting down the cone hence make it uneven, creating droplets. Next we'll outline the soft serve, ice cream top, by drawing half circle or large waves, as show. Outline the cherry on the smaller ice cream, add a stem. In between the ice creams draw a leaf. Add sprinkle outlines in different shapes: tiny circles, ovals, and small rectangles. Add as many as you like!
Every drawing, needs balance what we may call a setting or additional details to create a complete composition pleasing to the eye. To complete our composition we will draw two cherries on the bottom left and one on the right. We will also add leaves on each side just above the cherries.
Great Job! This step is especially important even though it may not seem so. You may think:"No need!"...but this is a perfect opportunity not only to 'clean up' but to assess your artwork. Yes! Take a moment and make sure you like the proportions, all the details and composition. Ask yourself:"Does my work have balance?". If not, take a minute and re-do as many times as needed to get to a "Yes!".
Time to give our work some color! Grab the Brown Dual Tip Color Pen and using the brush side go over all the outlines except the smaller details such as cone texture, sprinkles etc.
Still using the Brown Dual Tip Color Pen but the tip end go over the smaller details such as cone texture, sprinkles etc.
Color in both cones ones and then go over again, layering color and creating shadows.
Color in the soft serve part of our smaller ice cream cone, leaving out some of the sprinkles.
Color in the soft serve part of our bigger ice cream cone, leaving out some of the sprinkles. Take advantage of layering to create shadows. Shadows create fullness and realistic effect.
To create balance in our drawing we will color only the top cherry (on the small cone) and bottom left cherry in red.
Remaining cherries will be purple! This will help us balance the blues and pinks.
