You Will Need

  • How to make a drawing. Ice Cream Sundae - Step 1
    Step 1

    I use an H pencil and basic shapes to start this drawing, which looks kind of space-agey at this stage.

    Step 2

    I refine the shape of the glass, adding a fancy curved edge. Then I indicate the blob of whipped cream and the cherry.

    Step 3

    I continue developing the forms, adding streams of fudge on the ice cream and wavy lines on the glass to indicate a reflective surface.

  • How to make a drawing. Ice Cream Sundae - Step 4
    Step 4

    I add more details to the glass and start shading the fudge so I don’t get confused. Note that you can see some of the fudge through the glass. I also refine the cherry stem.

    Step 5

    Now I shade all over the ice cream and glass, adding tone to the cherry and filling in the rest of the fudge. I also shade the glass, leaving some areas white.

  • How to make a drawing. Ice Cream Sundae - Step 6
    Step 6

    I use a B pencil for the final rendering, making the fudge the darkest value and softening the shading on the ice cream. To finish, I erase some areas of the glass to make it look shiny.

    Tip: For highlights, save the white of the paper or lift them out with an eraser.
