How to Draw a 3D Cone
Draw a 3D cone in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: two slanted sides.
Step 1: Two slanted sides
From a point near the top, draw 2 slanted lines, down left and down right. Stop low on the page.
Tip Make the sides long and straight, like a party hat.
Step 2: The round bottom
Start at the end of the left side. Draw a smile curve and stop at the right side.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the middle of the cone draw 2 BIG egg eyes. Add a black dot in each with a shine.
Step 4: A big smile
Under the eyes draw a big wide U smile from eye to eye, ends turning up.
Step 5: Rosy cheeks
Beside each end of the smile, leaving a small gap, draw a small sideways oval cheek.
Step 6: Sparkles on the left
On the left of the cone draw 2 small sparkle stars, one higher and one lower.
Step 7: Sparkles on the right
Draw 2 more small sparkle stars on the right to match.
Step 8: Shadow and floor
Draw a flat oval shadow round the cone's bottom. Add a floor line out from each side of it.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Colour the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Colour both cheeks rosy pink.
Step 11: Grey shadow
Colour the shadow under the cone grey.
Step 12: Orange cone
Colour the cone orange, around the face and cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your 3D cone is done!
