Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The scoop
Start with a big dome, like half a circle, for the top of the scoop. At the bottom of the dome, add a soft round bump on each side, then join them with a wavy line across the bottom.
Step 3: The cone
Draw two lines going down from the ends of the wavy line, leaning toward each other. Close the bottom with a small curve, like a rounded letter U, so the cone looks like a pointy cup.
Step 4: The left eye
Draw a small solid dot on the dome, a little left of center and about halfway down the dome. Make it round and filled in.
Step 5: The right eye
Draw a second solid dot across from the first one, at the same height. Keep it the same size so the two eyes look like a pair.
Step 6: The mouth
Between the eyes and a little below them, draw a tiny smile shaped like a small letter U.
Step 7: Cone stripes
Add three short lines on the cone. Make one long, one medium, and one short, with a little space between them, and keep them inside the cone.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a zombie ice cream cone
- Draw the dome big and tall first, so the two side bumps at the bottom of the scoop have room to tuck in underneath it.
- The wavy line where the scoop meets the cone is the trickiest part. Go slowly and make gentle waves with a dip in the middle.
- Draw the cone lines so they lean toward each other and would meet at a point if you kept going. Then round off the bottom instead of making a sharp tip.
