What's In This Picture
Looking at the page, you will notice a large, pointed ice cream cone at the bottom. The cone has a classic crisscross pattern that looks just like a crispy waffle. Above the cone, the ice cream rises in soft, rounded swirls that reach up to a gentle point at the very top.
Dotted all over the top of the ice cream are many small, rectangular sprinkles. These little details provide a great opportunity to use many different colors in one small area. The entire scene is drawn with clean, bold outlines that make it easy to stay within the lines while you color.
Coloring Tips
For the ice cream itself, you might choose soft pastels like mint green, strawberry pink, or a creamy vanilla yellow. If you want to make the cone look realistic, try using different shades of light brown or tan. You can even use a slightly darker brown to trace the waffle lines to make them pop.
The sprinkles are the perfect place to use your brightest markers or crayons. Since they are small, you can alternate colors like bright red, blue, and purple to create a rainbow effect. If you use colored pencils, try shading the sides of the ice cream swirls to give the scoop a three-dimensional, rounded look.
Did You Know?
Did you know that the ice cream cone was popularized at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis? An ice cream vendor ran out of bowls and teamed up with a nearby waffle maker to create the first edible cones. Today, billions of these crunchy treats are enjoyed every year around the world.
Try This!
After finishing your artwork, you could try drawing your own extra toppings like a cherry or chocolate sauce. You might also like to write the name of your favorite flavor at the bottom of the page or count all the sprinkles you colored to practice your numbers.
