Draw it step by step

Six steps to an ice cream cone

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the cone

Draw a big letter V, wide at the top and pointy at the bottom.

2

Add the big scoop

Draw a wavy line across the top of the cone, with one long drip. Curl both ends up and in.

3

Stack a second scoop

Draw a round dome on top with a wavy bottom. Its ends sit where the big scoop curls in.

4

Put a cherry on top

A small circle sitting right on top, and a curly stem.

5

Draw the waffle pattern

Three lines slanting one way, then three slanting the other way. Stop each line at the ice cream.

6

Finishing touches

Little dash sprinkles on the top scoop, and a shiny curve. Now this ice cream cone is yours.

Now draw an ice cream cone with a flavour nobody has tried.
