If you'd like, you can use unicorn and stars stickers to turn your drawing into a different piece of art that your kids will love.

    You can also use a small light pen to paint in sprinkle balls. Try to use different colors for each of these. Make sure the colors are randomly distributed so they won't look unreal. You can also use darker brown pen for shading to make the cupcakes look more realistic.

    Shading cupcakes is an easy way to add a little extra detail to your creations. This method involves using a blending pencil to create soft, even strokes to create the desired effect. For example, if you want to create swirls on a cupcake, you should use a darker pink color. To do this, use a small blending pencil and apply the darker pink color in light, even strokes. For a lighter pink look, use soft white lines to create a fade.

    To make a realistic cupcake, start by applying a shadow to the case and using a small blending pencil to spread the shadow. Then, use a lighter blending pen to add highlights along the texture lines and case folds. Once the shadow is applied, use a sharp pen to trace over the outlines and the inner texture lines with a light brown or tan color.

    Shading cupcakes is a simple activity that can be completed in no time at all. It's a fun project that helps students practice different shading techniques and enhance their drawing skills. The project also uses simple shapes to add a variety of details to their work, such as a cupcake, frosting, cherry, plate, and horizon line.
