How to Draw an Ice Cream Cone

ก้าวต่อก้าว

1. ก้าว 1

   วาดสามเหลี่ยมยาวบาง ตรงไปทางด้านล่าง

   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.

   ระวังตัวด้วย Making the triangle too narrow and too long.

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

2. ก้าว 2

   ปิดด้านบนด้วยโค้งที่เรียบง่าย ไม่ใช่เส้นตรง

   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.

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

   ตรวจสอบ The top should be a visible curve.

3. ก้าว 3

   วาดรูปสกู๊ปด้านล่างเป็นวงกลม คล้ายกับช่องเปิดของโค้ง

   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.

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

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

4. ก้าว 4

   เพิ่มสก๊อตบนสุด เข้าไปซ้อนกับสก๊อตแรก

   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.

   ระวังตัวด้วย Perfectly centred scoops of identical size.

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

5. ก้าว 5

   ลบเส้นที่ซ่อนอยู่หลังรูปร่างด้านหน้า

   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.

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

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

6. ก้าว 6

   ทำให้ขอบของสก๊อต มันบิดเบือน มากกว่าจะกลมสมบูรณ์แบบ

   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.

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

   ตรวจสอบ The outline should be uneven but still clearly round.

7. ก้าว 7

   วาดเส้นกราฟแบบวาฟเฟิล: เส้นโค้งไปทางหนึ่ง แล้วก็อีกทางหนึ่ง

   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.

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

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

8. ก้าว 8

   เลือกทิศทางแสง และเงาด้านหนึ่งของแต่ละสก๊อต

   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.

   ระวังตัวด้วย Shading each scoop from a different direction.

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

9. ก้าว 9

   วางเงาไว้ที่จุดที่สก๊อตบนสุดพบกับสก๊อตล่าง

   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.

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

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

10. ก้าว 10

    ทาสีบนโค้ง สีดำที่สุด ตรงด้านเดียวกับสก๊อต

    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.

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

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

11. ก้าว 11

    ไปที่เส้นที่คุณต้องการที่จะเก็บไว้ และสูญเสียแนวทาง

    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.

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

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