How to Draw an Ice Cream Cone

Bước một bước

1. Bước 1

   Vẽ một tam giác dài, mỏng, hướng xuống.

   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.

   Cẩn thận! Making the triangle too narrow and too long.

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

2. Bước 2

   Đóng phần trên với một đường cong nông, không phải là một đường thẳng.

   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.

   Cẩn thận! A straight line across the top, which flattens the whole cone.

   Kiểm tra The top should be a visible curve.

3. Bước 3

   Vẽ cái chảo dưới như một vòng tròn chồng lên cái mở của nón.

   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.

   Cẩn thận! A circle that sits on top of the rim without crossing it.

   Kiểm tra The circle should cross the cone's top curve.

4. Bước 4

   Đổ thêm phần trên cùng, chồng lên phần trước.

   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.

   Cẩn thận! Perfectly centred scoops of identical size.

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

5. Bước 5

   Xoá các đường ẩn sau các hình dạng trước.

   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.

   Cẩn thận! Leaving the construction lines visible, which makes everything look transparent.

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

6. Bước 6

   Làm cho các cạnh của cuộn tròn lồi hơn là tròn hoàn hảo.

   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.

   Cẩn thận! Making the bumps regular, which looks like a flower.

   Kiểm tra The outline should be uneven but still clearly round.

7. Bước 7

   Vẽ lưới waffle: đường cong nghiêng một hướng, sau đó là hướng khác.

   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.

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

   Kiểm tra The grid lines should be closer together near the point.

8. Bước 8

   Chọn một hướng ánh sáng và che một bên của mỗi cái chén.

   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.

   Cẩn thận! Shading each scoop from a different direction.

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

9. Bước 9

   Đặt một bóng ở nơi mà cái cuộn trên gặp cái cuộn dưới.

   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.

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

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

10. Bước 10

    Để bóng ở hình nón, tối nhất ở cùng một bên như các cái chén.

    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.

    Cẩn thận! Shading straight up and down, ignoring the cone's angle.

    Kiểm tra Your strokes should follow the sloping side of the cone.

11. Bước 11

    Đi qua những đường mà anh muốn giữ, và mất đi những người dẫn đường.

    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.

    Cẩn thận! Going over everything at the same weight, which flattens the drawing back out.

    Kiểm tra The outline should be clearly darker than the smallest details.
