How to Draw a Donut and Apple Cider · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The big donut
Draw a big round oval on the left side of your paper. Keep the line smooth, and leave a tiny gap on the right side where the mug will touch it.
Step 3: The donut hole
Draw a small oval in the middle of the donut. It sits right in the center, like a little window.
Step 4: Wavy icing
Start at the left edge of the donut and draw a wiggly, wavy line across the lower part. End at the right edge so the icing looks like it is dripping down.
Step 5: The mug body
Next to the donut, draw a tall mug shape. Start with a slightly curved line for the top edge, then draw down both sides and round off the bottom.
Step 6: Cider in the mug
Just inside the top of the mug, draw a curved smile-shaped line from one side to the other. This is the top of the warm apple cider.
Step 7: The mug handle
On the right side of the mug, draw a big letter D shape for the handle. Start and end the line on the side of the mug, then draw a smaller curve inside it so the handle looks thick.
Step 8: Cinnamon stick
Draw a long, slanted stick that pokes up out of the cider. Add a small oval at the top end so you can see the round tip.
Step 9: A happy face
Draw two round dots for eyes in the middle of the mug. Add a small curved smile between them.
Step 10: Steamy swirls
Above the mug, draw two short wiggly lines that wave upward. They show how warm the cider is.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a donut and apple cider
- Draw the donut oval first and leave room beside it, because the mug sits close and even touches the donut's side.
- The wavy icing is the trickiest part. Make it like gentle hills and valleys, going slowly, and keep it inside the donut.
- Draw the mug's face with dots for eyes and a small smile, and keep the eyes level so the mug looks happy.
