National Chocolate Ice Cream Day Sketching Tutorial
Hi everyone, Mou Saha here to share a coloring tutorial using Polychromos Color Pencils in celebration of National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Since I cannot share a real scoop or two with you digitally, I am showing you how I build the delicious scoops one subtle layer at a time!
Recommended Art Materials:
Mixed Media paper
I used my HB graphite pencil for a quick light sketch of a few scoops of chocolate ice cream in a glass cup.
I applied my first color layer with the Coral 131 Polychromos Color pencil.
My next layer was with the Burnt Ochre 187 from the same set.
The third layer was a subtle addition of textures with Venetian Red 190.
I added a fourth layer with Sanguine 188.
At this point, I started working on the dimensionality of the scoops using shading with Burnt Sienna 283.
I added the remaining touches to the chocolate ice cream scoops with Walnut Brown 177.
I colored the glass cup with Light Ultramarine 140, Bluish Turquoise 149, and Indanthrene Blue 247, leaving the glass highlights blank for the white of the paper to show through.
Finally, I colored the background with Warm Grey II 271 and Cold Grey II 231.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and will treat yourself to some delicious chocolate ice cream to celebrate the National Chocolate Ice Cream Day on June 7th!

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
– “Ice Cream,” 1920s novelty song
Ice cream, a frozen confection made from sweetened milk, is popular around the world. Its origins are ancient; snow mixed with honey and fruit was sold in the marketplaces in Athens, Greece.
Explorer Marco Polo first brought the idea of “fruit ices” to Europe from China during the 1200s. By the 1600s, successful ice cream shops had been established in France.
Ice cream was first contained in a cone during the 1800s, but it was popularized during the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. Legend has it that the ice cream vendor ran out of bowls.
He asked a nearby waffle vendor – who was selling little due to the heat – if he could fold his waffles to form a container, and the waffle cone was born.

Ice cream differs in various parts of the world. For example, in Japan, you might find unusual flavors such as sesame seed or sakura flower. In Iran, a frozen dessert is made from vermicelli noodles and rosewater – made with real rose petals – served with pistachio nuts and lime juice.
Specialty shops often make ice cream right before the customer’s eyes, using liquid nitrogen to freeze the ingredients quickly.
