The Christmas holiday evenings around the tree is never complete without a nice mug of Swiss-Miss! And a few marshmallows make it that much better! Hey, it’s Christmas! Sugar + calories are meaningless. But if you rather draw a mug of hot chocolate for the sake of health than drink one, this hot chocolate drawing guide would be perfect! I mean we mostly created this tutorial because we wanted to show children how to draw a mug. It’s good for kids to learn how to draw a cylindrical object in 2D that’s easy to follow; it’ll open up more things for them to draw. Plus I don’t know what’s a more popular beverage amongst young ones than warmed chocolate and melted marshmallows 🙂 Everyone loves hot chocolate, especially in cold weather, so let’s start making one for you!

🖍️ Tools For Success
- Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
- Pencil
- Polymer Eraser
- Outline Markers
- Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)
🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.
How to Draw a Hot Chocolate Mug (Version 1)
- First, you have to draw an oval-spade mug’s mouth with a small space in the middle. In short, this mug-to-be will look like it’s stretched sidewards.
- Next, draw an inverted enclosed c-curved line on the right side of the cup-to-be, leaving a short distance between them.
- Then, on the top of the oval, draw a curved line parallel to it with minimal space between them.
- Do the same at the bottom of the mug-to-be but with a longer distance to the mug’s mouth, depending on how big you would like to have your mug.
- After that, connect the horizontal curves lines with vertical curves on each side to complete your mug’s body.
- That’s it! We just need to pour your hot chocolate (coloring it will help, more on that later!)
- Inside the mug, draw three small circular marshmallows for the toppings with a curved line behind connecting them. That’s the hot chocolate liquid line, marshmallows are light so they float.
- Finally, to make it really hot, draw three short curves on top of the mug.
- Chocolates are very distinctive for their color. Let’s hit it with brown, then your mug according to your favorite color. Although generally, they’re white, no reason you can’t add color to your marshmallow toppings too!
