How to Draw Hot Chocolate
Draw hot chocolate in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the rim.
Step 1: The rim
Above the middle of your paper draw a wide flat oval. Add a smaller one inside.
Tip Two flat ovals, one inside the other, like a thick ring.
Step 2: Mug body
From each end of the oval draw a line down. From the left line's bottom draw a smile across.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the front of the mug draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: The handle
On the right, start under the rim. Draw a fat C out and back. Add a C inside.
Step 5: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Add a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 6: Three marshmallows
Inside the rim draw 3 soft rounded squares floating side by side, the middle one biggest.
Tip Marshmallows are squishy squares: round every corner and leave a gap between them.
Step 7: Two stripes
Near the bottom, start on the left side. Draw a smile across to the right side. Add another under it.
Step 8: Hot steam
A little above the rim, draw 3 wiggly steam lines rising up, the middle one tallest.
Step 9: Table and shadow
Under the mug draw a flat oval shadow. Draw a table line from well left to well right, behind it.
Tip Stop the oval where it goes behind the mug.
Step 10: Pink cheeks, grey shadow
Colour the cheeks pink and the shadow grey.
Step 11: Blue mug, white stripe
Colour the mug blue, going around the pink cheeks and leaving the rim, stripe and eyes white.
Step 12: Brown cocoa, white marshmallows
Colour the cocoa brown around the marshmallows. Go over your lines, and your hot chocolate is ready to sip!
