I add groups of hatches to the hollows, using the 0.05 ink liner.
How to Draw an Ice Cream Easy Step by Step with Ideas
As a summertime snack to feel cool, there is no alternative to ice cream. From kids to adults, people of all ages love it. Since it comes in different variations and colors, learning how to draw an ice cream can be a great idea. You’ll have more opportunities to get creative with it. In this article, you’ll find the ways to draw ice cream easily. I’ve tried to explain all of the ice cream drawing ideas in as detail as I could. Hopefully, this step-by-step drawing tutorial will make your task easier. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start making the art that will never melt!
Supplies What I Use
Pencil – Pencil is the most important of all art supplies. Here, I’ve used 4B and 9B pencils. I’ve used it for sketching the drawing before outlining. Color – Watercolor paint is a very versatile color. I really love it personally, and that’s why I’ve used watercolor here. Besides paints, I’ve also used watercolor markers to cover up the fine details. Paper – How beautifully you can illustrate an artwork mostly depends on the quality of the paper. Due to watercolor paint, I’ve used 260 gsm watercolor paper. It really gives a smooth finish. Compass – Actually, compasses are very useful for drawing circles. They really help a lot in making perfect circles. Eraser – A quality eraser is a must-have item for erasing the pencil marks before coloring. I’ve used high-quality regular pencil erasers here.
Whether it’s a popsicle or a cone, drawing ice cream is really very easy. Due to its variations and colors, it makes the drawing a more fun thing to do. Now, move forward to the part you were waiting for!
1. Drawing a Popsicle
Eating a popsicle is fun, as well as drawing. It’s one of the easiest of all variations. With a typical square-like shape, popsicle has stolen the heart of people. However, I’ll also start with such a shape in popsicle drawing and then add details. So, let’s get started!
Step-1: Draw a vertical rectangle using your pencil. There is no such difficulty in it. Make the size you want to see your ice cream like. Step-2: Make all the edges of the rectangle round. You’ll see that the rectangle has started to take the shape of a popsicle. Now, draw a semi-circle on the top right corner. The reason for making this shape is that after completing the ice cream, the corner will look like someone has taken a bite from there. It’ll look similar to a half-moon shape. However, use a black marker or a fine-liner pen to bold the outline. And erase all the pencil marks. Step-3: It’s time to add some details to it. Firstly, make a closed curve line in the middle of the popsicle from left to right. Through this curve, it seems like the ice cream is melting down. Now, draw some small circles on the upper side of the curve. These circles will be the sprinkles. Finally, draw a holder on the lower part. Step-4: Without color, ice cream will look lifeless. So, add some beautiful colors to it. I’ve colored it in pastel watercolor shades and kept the sprinkles blank. I’ve put a brownish color on the holder to look realistic. But coloring always depends on the imagination of the artist. So, color it in the way you want to look it.
2. Draw an Easy Ice-Cream Cone
After the popsicle, cone ice cream has been the favorite of people. However, I like the cone most! Actually, drawing cones is also very easy. Just follow the steps below and draw it within a few minutes!
Step-1: First of all, use your pencil and draw the bottom part of the cone. It’ll be the holder, and you can easily draw it using a rectangle. On top of it, draw the curved cone rim. Don’t forget to draw the neck of the rim to look realistic. Then using curved lines, draw the first layer of ice cream. Step-2: Draw another two ice-cream layers on the top using the same curves as before. The layer will become smaller as it goes upward. Step-3: In this stage, add another two small layers on the top with a twisted head on the intense top. It’ll look like the ice cream has come out from the machine just now. However, add some details on the layers and the cone part. Finally, use a fine liner or a marker to outline the whole ice cream. Erase all the pencil marks, using a quality eraser to make it look clean. Step-4: Now, it’s time to color. I’ve used watercolors here, pink for the ice-cream layers, and skin shades for the cone holder part. You can always explore in your own way!
3. Draw Scoop Ice-cream
Scoop ice-creams are becoming popular nowadays. People like it due to its customization facility. However, drawing scoop ice cream is easier than it looks. If you can follow the steps below, you’ll be able to draw it in no time.
Step-1: First of all, use your pencil and draw a slight curve line. Below this line, draw a semi-circle to make it look like a half-moon. It’ll be the bowl of ice cream. Step-2: Above the upper line, draw another curved line to make the edge of the bowl. Now, use a compass and draw three circles to make the ice-cream scoops. Step-3: On top of the circles, draw a short curved line to make it look like four scoops of ice cream inside the bowl. On the right side, draw two slanted lines to make the spoon. It’ll look like the spoon head is inside the bowl, and only the holder part is outside.
Step-4: At this stage, draw two short and straight parallel lines under the bowl. Then draw a circle around it. You’ll see that the shape of the bowl holder has been made underneath. Now, grab a pen or a marker and outline the whole drawing in bold marks. And erase the rest of the pencil marks. Don’t forget to add some details to it. Step-5: Now, it’s time to color the ice cream. I’ve used different colors to make it look beautiful and colorful. You can either follow the same color or do it in your own way.
4. Drawing Cone with Sprinkles
There are so many varieties of cone ice-creams. And among them, a cone with a scoop of ice cream is a very common item. Now I’m going to show you how you can draw it in no time. So, let’s begin!
Step-1: First of all, use a compass and a pencil to draw a perfect circle. It’ll be the ice-cream scoop. Now, draw a long V shape below the circle with an open V on its top. It’ll be the cone of the ice cream that we hold while eating. Step-2: Make the bottom of the circle a V-like shape compatible with the lower long V shape. It’ll look like the scoop is going inside the cone. Also, add some details inside the circles. From the middle of the cone, draw a slanted line that goes upward and joins with the middle point of the open V. Now, it’ll look like there is a wrap on the left side of the cone that we see in real life. Step-3: In this part, draw 10 crisscrossed slanted lines all over the cone holder part. Draw some sprinkles on top of the scoop. I’ve given the sprinkles a shape of chocolate chips, and you can draw in your way! However, use a black marker or a fine-liner pen to make a bold outline of the cone ice cream. Then erase the rest of the pencil marks smoothly. Step-4: For coloring, I’ve used watercolor here. I’ve colored the scoop in light pastel shades, the cone in skin shades, and the sprinkles in dark chocolate shades. You can use any of the colors you want!
5. Drawing an Easy Popsicle
Popsicles are the easiest version of ice cream. These are fun to eat and easy to draw. So, here I’m going to show you another popsicle drawing tutorial that you’ll love!
Step-1: First of all, draw an oval-type rectangle. Make the size as big as you want to make the ice cream. Draw another line on the top side of the rectangle that will start from the top left and end on the right bottom. It’ll help you make the popsicle look a little thicker from the right side. It’s actually a game of perspective that works in a way that you are looking at the popsicle from the right side. Step-2: Make a zigzag type rounded curve line in the middle of the popsicle. Remember that there will be no sharp edges of the curve. It’ll be the melting point means that it’ll look like the popsicle is melting down after completing. Step-3: Add some details into it. I’ve added small rectangle shapes on the upper side of the zigzag line. It’ll be the sprinkles. On the lower side of the main body, draw the wooden holder of the popsicle. You can easily make it using curves. Finally, use a fine liner or a marker to outline and remove all the pencil marks using an eraser. Step-4: This step is all about coloring. And ice cream coloring is really very fun. I’ve colored it in a way that will look like a flavored blueberry popsicle. I’ve used a pinkish purple color for the upper part of the zigzag line and dark purple for the lower part. I’ve used skin color for the wooden holder part and kept the sprinkles blank. But you are always welcome to explore new colors!

How to Draw an Ice Cream in a Glass Bowl
Step 1
With a graphite pencil, I sketch a core line and mark the lower and upper borders of the future drawing.
I also add a spacing line where the stem of the vessel turns into a wide bowl.
Step 2
I draw the stem, starting with the oval shape of the opening.
It’s very convenient to use the vertical core line to make the measurements, and the halves of your drawing will then be even.
Step 3
A simple way to draw the bowl it is to start with the contours of bowl’s sides and then add the upper opening.
Keep using the vertical core line to make the measurements!
Step 4
I add the rounded shapes of three ice cream balls.
Step 5
I draw the cherry, imagining that it is slightly sunken in the ice cream.
Step 6
I refine the shapes of the ice cream, adding a small waffle stick and some chocolate sauce.
The sketch is ready for inking!
Step 7
With the 0.4 ink liner, I outline the contours of the drawing.
Step 8
I add groups of rounded hatches to the bowl, using the 0.05 ink liner.
Step 9
With the 0.1 liner, I work on the stem, accenting its sides. It is important to be accurate with the glass objects, so don’t overdo the artwork.
Step 10
With the 0.1 ink liner, I add rounded hatches to the bowl. An additional layer of hatching on the shape’s sides helps to make it look more three-dimensional.
Step 11
I mark shadows on the chocolate sauce and the cherry, using the 0.2 ink liner.
Step 12
With the 0.2 ink liner, I add groups of dots to the ice cream balls.
Step 13
I add short hatches to the ice cream shapes, using the 0.05 liner. I mark the relief of the objects and create an illusion of a rough surface.
Step 14
I add hatches to the sides of the waffle stick, using the 0.1 ink liner.
Step 15
With the 0.1 ink liner, I add hatching to the chocolate sauce, leaving small highlights.
Step 16
I add hatches the cherry, using the 0.1 ink liner. Like the chocolate, the cherry is the darkest object in the drawing.
Please be sure to leave a highlight on the cherry!
Step 17
With the 0.2 ink liner, I add some dots and short hatches to accentuate the shadows and create a unified look of the drawing.
How to Draw an Ice Lolly
Step 1
I draw a vertical core line, using a graphite pencil. I also mark the border between the ice cream itself and the stick.
Step 2
I draw the shape of the ice cream. You can use the core line to make both halves symmetrical, but there is no strict rule that an ice lolly has to be perfectly even.
Step 3
I add the curved shape of the stick.
Step 4
I insert the small shapes of the nuts. They will make the texture of the ice cream more interesting and varied.
Step 5
With the 0.4 ink liner, I outline the contours of the drawing.
Step 6
I mark the shadows under the nuts, using the 0.4 ink liner.
Step 7
With the 0.1 liner, I cover the lolly’s shape with long, even hatches.
Step 8
I add cross-hatches, using the 0.1 ink liner. An additional layer of lines at the sides will accentuate the three-dimensional look of the object.
Step 9
It’s time to work on the stick. With the 0.1 liner, I add the ink lines that are imitating a wooden pattern.
I also create a drop shadow from the ice lolly.
Step 10
I add another layer of hatching to the ice cream, using the 0.2 liner. This object is dark, so don’t worry about overdoing it.
Step 11
With the 0.2 liner, I mark the core shadows on the nuts and add groups of short hatches to vary the texture.
