I like to try and send my mom (98 and going strong) some quick art each week. I had fun doing this one and thought it turned out well. Thoughts? ![IMG_2547](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/3/35d7bf76b89bb21aa6f16df9ccebd02d5e10e118.jpeg) Bristol smooth surface, 100 lb, 4"x 6", tombow markers, a mix of prismacolor and caran d’ache colored pencils. ---

@junenez , wow! That’s an adorable ice cream cone 🍦 The texture is phenomenal, and I think it’s cool that you used multiple mediums! Nice job! Jesus loves you!!! ---

I love your fun choice of subject and the texture you have achieved on the cone is very realistic. I feel that it would be enhanced more by the use of more values and tones of light v dark as it’s difficult to see where the light source is coming from 😊 ---

I have to agree with the others, the texture and detail is really nice. Great use of mixed medium. Really impressive. ---

yes - I agree. i did this from a photo and it was quite difficult to determine the light source! ---

I really like the subject. The ice cream look delicious (and cold). I think maybe you should just decide where the light source comes and put a dark shading on one side or the other. Cone looks somewhat flat. But other than that it is a great picture. Lenora ---

Looks good, I feel like i could pull some cotton right off of it, very realistic candy and the cone shading is spot on!
