Learn how to draw an ice cream cone that has the fun swirly color and a textured cone. This tutorial will break it down into nine easy steps.

After all, when they are just trying to figure out how to make a pencil do what they want, perfecting simple shapes is all they really need to be concerned about.

But at a certain point, some may be ready to draw something a little more complex … AND maybe a little more yummy looking? Especially if they are into the fun look of soft ice cream.

So instead of the usual waffle cone and hard scoops on top, here's how you can draw a standing cone with a soft swirl and curly tip. It's not that hard, if you just take it one step at a time.

Materials for How to Draw an Ice Cream Cone

Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.

Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.

Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.

Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.

Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
