Kawaii ice cream

[Josie]

How would I make the design just the ice cream part? Thanks

[Alfred]

The ice cream parts are just curvy shapes with solid fills and shading, quite similar to the kinds of examples you’ve asked about in your other threads. A Tear shape converted to curves and tweaked with the Node Tool would probably be a good place to start.

What about the ice cream swirls what would I do for those? 
 

Thanks

[Alfred]

They’re all just variations on a theme, aren’t they? Draw a curvy shape, tweak it to your liking, add a solid fill and apply shading so that it looks the way you want.

But surely it should be shave ice?

Are you sure that’s not after shave ice?

How would I do the fill in the brown ice cream design using the crescent tool in affinity designer?

Ive tried every which way and none of it is working.

There are several ways to do that.

1. Place such an image as a background image in a doc. Lock it and lower it's layer capacity so you still can see it, then use a pen or pencil and trace the shape form manually by hand.
2. Use an autotracer for just that image part or the whole ice cream. Take over the autotraced curve for your drawing.
3. Place such an image as a background image in a doc. Lock it and lower it's layer capacity so you still can see it.
   Then use the crescent tool and create one crescent which matches nearly that shape form of one of those.
   Use the corner tool to make the two sharp corners round.
   Copy the resulting crescent two times (so you have three of them). Arrange and overlap those 3 like shown on the ice.
   Select the three overlaping and adjusted crescents and perform a geometrical add to those 3 selected, so you will get one final curve.
   Adjust and position that final curve and gice it a fill color of your likings.

Here's a quick & rough show up for point 3. via the ADe desktop version ...

... you'll need to do this (or steps of it) instead with the iPad version of ADe.

 

Could also be done with cloud shapes instead, subtracting two cloud shapes and then by deleting some unwanted nodes etc.

Though I believe the easiest would be still to redraw/retrace that manually by hand on an iPad with an iPad-Pencil!

All I have is the iPad version of affinity designer, so how do I do it on the iPad?

All of the required options are available. The iPad version of AD has a Crescent Tool, a Cloud Tool, and a Corner Tool, and it has the same set of Geometry commands.
