Here’s another shading post, How To Shade A Cone. Learning how to shade and draw simple objects is a great place to start teaching kids. As they get older they’ll learn how to combine shapes to make more complicated objects. For example, they could use this cone and a sphere to draw a very realistic ice cream cone!
Side note: I’ve decided to regularly include links to Amazon regarding the materials we use, due to the amount of inquires we get about them. I will do my best to only include links that are worth while. I’ll consider the reviews, the companies fulfilling the products, the price, quality, and as a general rule I’ll only link to Prime items.
- Paper (We used printer paper but love these sketchbooks on Amazon)
- Charcoal (Vine Charcoal on Amazon)
- Kneaded Eraser (Amazon’s kneaded erasers are priced too high, buy from a local office/art supply)
