Step 2: Make a point above the center of the base as shown below.

Step 3: Connect the outer edges of the oval to the point above as shown below.

Step 4: Erase the back arc of the circle as shown below.

Step 5: Practice drawing additional cones.

Step 6: With a fresh piece of paper, draw anything you wish, but incorporate at least one cone into your artwork. Use glue, scissors, colored paper, markers, paint, or anything else you desire to create your artwork.
