How to draw cute animals in a coffee cup step by step
How to Draw Cute Animals in a Coffee Cup · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The coffee cup
Start with the cup. Draw a big U shape: two straight sides going down from the top, curving in toward a soft rounded bottom. Leave the top open for now.
Step 3: The cup handle
On the right side of the cup, draw a big curved C-shape that starts and ends on the cup. Then draw a smaller C inside it to make the handle thick.
Step 4: The cat's head
Starting at the left edge of the cup, draw the top of a cat's head going up and over. Make two pointy triangle ears with a little dip between them, and stop where the right ear ends.
Step 5: The bunny's head
Next to the cat, start a rounded head outline that curves up and around to the right edge of the cup. Add one tall, loopy bunny ear rising from the top.
Step 6: The cup rim line
Draw a gently wavy line across the cup, below the two heads. This is the front edge of the cup.
Step 7: Faces, paws, and inner ear
Give each animal two tiny dot eyes and a small nose and mouth, and add short whisker lines on the cat. Draw two little ovals on the rim for each animal's paws, then a short line inside the bunny's ear.
Step 8: Steam swirls
Above the animals, draw two wiggly curved lines floating up like warm steam from the drink.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing cute animals in a coffee cup
- Draw the cup first and keep it wide, so there is plenty of room for both animals to peek out.
- Let the cat and the bunny sit side by side so their heads touch a little, like they are cuddling.
- Add the faces and paws last. Keep the four paw ovals about the same size so they look neat.
