Ice Cream Cone Drawing
When learning how to draw ice cream, it helps to make it as swirly as can be, and standing in a cone. That way students can shows off all the colors, and provides some lessons in drawing with dimension too. That cone needs to be curved, to look round, and the swirls need to get thick and thin, just like they do in real life!
Ever wonder where soft serve ice cream came from? There are several businesses that claim to have invented it, and here is just one example. It was Memorial Day in 1934, and Tom Carvel (the founder of Carvel brand) found his ice cream van had a punctured tire. He pulled his truck into parking area and started selling his melting ice creams to all the vacationers. He sold out within 2 days. He quickly decided that selling soft serve desserts in one location was a better way to go.
These days, the classic twisted soft serve in a cone is what most children fondly remember about summer, and with a little help, they can draw one that looks a lot like the real thing. This tutorial shares how a little curve on the cone can make it look more round, and a few diagonal lines can add the familiar texture. A few well-placed twist lines in the ice cream itself will turn it into two flavors, which they can color as they wish. Makes for a lovely work of art that will never melt.
