Everyone adores cute things! Even those who claim they're too tough to appreciate them secretly find them irresistible. Cute things surround us, from adorable baby animals to cartoon characters, mascots, and products. And they're here to stay!

If you're a fan of cute things (which we all are), then you'll surely enjoy learning how to draw your own charming characters. This step-by-step guide will teach you how to effortlessly create some adorable new friends, allowing your creativity to flourish!

Let's Get Started – Drawing Cute Things

Step 1 – Begin with the basic shape

Our guide on drawing cute things starts with creating some adorable ice cream designs. Begin by drawing what resembles an onion shape. The bottom section should be thick, gradually tapering to a sharp point at the top. Take a look at the reference image and remember to leave a small gap at the bottom right of the onion shape.

Step 2 – Add a small protrusion

Next, draw a small curve coming off the shape you just drew. This will give your cute thing some extra character.

Step 3 – Draw the cone

Every ice cream needs a cone, so let's add one! Draw a rough cone shape freehand. Don't worry about making it perfect; a cartoony, curved look will give your picture more charm.

Step 4 – Add details

In this step, add some extra details to your cute thing. Draw a small curved line on the left side of the ice cream to create a second arm. Then, add some small circles near the tip of the ice cream to represent bubbles.

Step 5 – Texture the cone

To give the ice cream cone some texture, draw slightly curved lines horizontally along the cone. You can also add dots or other marks for more detail and creativity.

Step 6 – Add a cute face

What makes something cute? The face! Make the eyes big by drawing large black ovals with smaller white circles inside to show a glint. Feel free to make the eyes even bigger if you want. Complete the face with a sweet little mouth using two small curved lines.

Before moving on to the final step, you can add more charm to your drawing by creating additional characters. The reference image shows a second ice cream next to the main one. You can follow the same steps, but feel free to change the mouth or eyes to give it a different expression. Let your imagination run wild with other fun details!

Bonus: Make A Story Featuring These Cute Things!

Before the final step, here's a fun idea to explore. You can create a little story featuring these charming characters. One way to do this is by drawing a comic strip with endless possibilities!

Start by practicing drawing different variations of your characters, experimenting with facial features, expressions, and poses. Once you're comfortable, choose a setting that relates to your ice cream characters, such as an ice cream shop or a beach. Let your imagination soar and think of a story involving these delightful characters. It can be based on your own experiences with friends or family.

Map out the comic with pencil sketches and rough panels, then bring your characters to life. Add backgrounds, colors, and any other ideas you have. You can even expand your comic into multiple pages, making it a unique and truly personal creation.

What stories, settings, and additional characters come to mind?

Step 7 – Color your Cute Things Drawing

The final step is the most exciting one – adding color! This is where you can truly express your creativity. Use your favorite bright and cheerful colors that perfectly match the theme of this image. Acrylic paints or colored pens can bring the colors to life, but you can use any medium you prefer.
