How to Draw an Ice Cream Cone

خطوة خطوة

1. الدرجة 1

   رسم مثلث طويل رقيق، يشير إلى الأسفل.

   Not too narrow - the opening at the top should be about as wide as one scoop of ice cream, and about half as wide as the triangle is tall. A cone that is too thin reads as a party hat immediately.

   إنتبه Making the triangle too narrow and too long.

   .. تحقق The triangle should be roughly twice as tall as it is wide.

2. الدرجة 2

   أغلق القمة بمنحنى ضحل، وليس خط مستقيم.

   The opening of a cone is a circle seen at an angle, so it curves. Which way it curves tells the viewer whether they are looking slightly down into the cone or up at it - pick one and commit.

   إنتبه A straight line across the top, which flattens the whole cone.

   .. تحقق The top should be a visible curve.

3. الدرجة 3

   يرسم الملعقة السفلية على شكل دائرة تتداخل مع فتحة المخروط.

   It has to sit ON the cone, which means its lower edge disappears behind the cone's rim. If the circle merely touches the top of the cone, the ice cream will look balanced there rather than resting in it.

   إنتبه A circle that sits on top of the rim without crossing it.

   .. تحقق The circle should cross the cone's top curve.

4. الدرجة 4

   أضف الملعقة العليا، متداخلة مع الأولى.

   Slightly smaller, and offset to one side rather than balanced dead centre - two scoops stacked perfectly reads as a snowman. Let it cross in front of the lower scoop's outline.

   إنتبه Perfectly centred scoops of identical size.

   .. تحقق The top scoop should be off-centre and slightly smaller.

5. الدرجة 5

   . امسح الخطوط المخفية خلف الأشكال الأمامية

   This is the step that turns three separate shapes into one object. Anything behind something else goes: the cone rim behind the scoop, the bottom scoop where the top one covers it. Overlap only works once you commit to it.

   إنتبه Leaving the construction lines visible, which makes everything look transparent.

   .. تحقق No line should cross in front of a shape that is nearer to you.

6. الدرجة 6

   جعل حواف الكوب منحنية بدلا من أن تكون مستديرة تماما.

   Go round each circle and add three or four shallow bumps. Ice cream is soft and slumps; a perfectly circular scoop reads as a tennis ball, and the fix costs about ten seconds.

   إنتبه Making the bumps regular, which looks like a flower.

   .. تحقق The outline should be uneven but still clearly round.

7. الدرجة 7

   رسم شبكة الوافلة: خطوط مائلة في اتجاه واحد، ثم الآخر.

   Both sets of lines curve with the cone, and they get closer together as the cone narrows toward the point. Lines drawn on a curved surface must curve - that single idea is worth more than the cone is.

   إنتبه A flat straight grid, which makes the cone look like a piece of graph paper.

   .. تحقق The grid lines should be closer together near the point.

8. الدرجة 8

   إختار اتجاه الضوء و ظل جانب واحد من كل كوب.

   A scoop is a ball, so it is light on the side facing the light and dark on the other, with the darkest part just inside the edge rather than at it. Shade both scoops from the same side or they will look like separate drawings.

   إنتبه Shading each scoop from a different direction.

   .. تحقق The shadow should be on the same side of both scoops.

9. الدرجة 9

   ضع ظلاً حيث تلتقي القطع العليا بالقطع السفلية

   Wherever one thing sits on another it casts a small shadow there, and that little dark crescent is what makes the top scoop sit ON the bottom one rather than beside it. Same at the cone's rim.

   إنتبه No contact shadows, so the scoops read as flat circles arranged on a page.

   .. تحقق There should be a dark crescent at every place two shapes meet.

10. الدرجة 10

    ظل المخروط، الأكثر ظلالا على نفس الجانب من الكوب.

    A cone is a cylinder that tapers, so it shades the same way: dark on the shadow side, with a thin lighter strip right at the edge where light bounces back up. Keep the strokes following the cone's slope.

    إنتبه Shading straight up and down, ignoring the cone's angle.

    .. تحقق Your strokes should follow the sloping side of the cone.

11. الدرجة 11

    ذهب فوق الخطوط التي تريد أن تحافظ عليها، وفقد الإرشادات.

    This is the step that turns a construction drawing into a finished one, and it is the one most people skip. Press harder on the outline and the features; leave the small stuff light. That difference in weight is what makes a drawing look deliberate rather than traced, and it costs thirty seconds.

    إنتبه Going over everything at the same weight, which flattens the drawing back out.

    .. تحقق The outline should be clearly darker than the smallest details.
