How to Draw Animals Stacked on an Ice Cream Cone · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: Kitty head outline
Start at the left cheek and draw the top of the kitty's head going up to one pointy ear. Then curve down the right side and add a tiny short tick on the cheek.
Step 3: Wavy ice cream sides
Under the kitty, draw a wiggly line going down from the left cheek. Then draw another wiggly line going down on the right, below where the bear will sit.
Step 4: Bear head outline
On the right, draw the top of a round bear head with a small round ear on each side. Curve the line down the right side so it joins the ice cream.
Step 5: Bear paws
Draw two small curved hooks under the bear's head. One tucks in next to the kitty's cheek and one sits at the lower right where the bear holds the ice cream.
Step 6: The kitty paw
Draw a small curved hook, like a letter C, on the front of the ice cream for the kitty's paw.
Step 7: Faces and whiskers
Give the kitty two dot eyes and a tiny wavy smile, then add two short whisker lines on the left and one on the right. Give the bear two dot eyes and a tiny smile too, and finish the bear's chin line.
Step 8: The wavy bottom
Draw a wavy line across the bottom of the ice cream, like gentle ocean waves, from one side to the other.
Step 9: The cone
Draw a nearly straight line under the ice cream for the cone's top rim. Then draw two slanted sides that come together at a rounded bottom, like a cup.
Step 10: Waffle pattern
Fill the cone with slanting lines that cross each other to make diamonds. Draw all the lines going one way first, then cross them with lines going the other way.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing animals stacked on an ice cream cone
- Draw the kitty first, then tuck the bear in beside it. Letting the bear overlap the kitty's cheek makes them look like they are snuggling.
- Make the cone sides slant toward each other and end in a rounded bottom instead of a sharp point. It looks like a real cone.
- For the waffle pattern, draw all the lines going one way first, then cross them with the other direction. Keep them roughly the same distance apart.
