How to Draw Ice Cream: Easy, Step-by-Step Art Lesson for Kids

Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw Ice Cream and a Ice Cream Coloring Page.

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. The cone needs to be curved to look round, and the swirls need to get thick and thin, just like they do in real life.

These days, the classic twisted soft serve in a cone is what most children fondly remember about summer. 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. It makes for a lovely work of art that will never melt!
