How to Draw a Triple Scoop 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: The top scoop
Draw a rounded dome for the top scoop, leaving a small gap at the top where the cherry will sit. Make the bottom edge a wiggly wave.
Step 3: The bottom scoop sides
Start at each end of the wavy line and draw a curved line bulging out and down on both sides. Leave the bottom open for now.
Step 4: The cherry
Draw a small circle sitting in the gap at the top of the top scoop. Add a short curved line going up from the cherry for the stem.
Step 5: Dot eyes
Draw two small dots for eyes on the top scoop. Then draw two more dots on the bottom scoop, lined up the same way.
Step 6: Drips and first lines
Near the bottom of the lower scoop, draw a wavy line from left to right, ending with a little drip loop on the right. Under it, draw a few slanted lines that cross each other.
Step 7: The cone
Draw a flat line across under the scoops. Then draw two slanted lines going down and in, and join them with a curved line at the bottom to make the cone.
Step 8: Finish the waffle
Inside the cone near the bottom left, draw a small diamond where the slanted lines cross. This finishes the waffle pattern.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a triple scoop ice cream cone
- Draw the top scoop a little smaller than the bottom one, so the stack looks steady.
- Make the wavy lines by drawing slow, soft hills and valleys, like a gentle ocean wave.
- For the waffle cone, draw the slanted lines going one way first, then cross them with lines going the other way so the diamonds come out neat.
