How to Draw Milk and Cookies (Easy Step by Step)
A cute glass of milk with a smiling face, a little cookie, and a stack of pancakes makes a perfect snack time drawing. It is built from simple shapes: a tall rounded shape for the glass, ovals, circles, and a few curvy lines. It is a great way to practice drawing curves that sit one on top of another.

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 tall glass
Draw a tall shape that is a little wider at the top than at the bottom. Round off the corners at the bottom and keep the top edge nearly flat.
Step 3: Rim and milk line
Near the top of the glass, draw a curved line from one side to the other to make the rim. Then draw a gentle wavy line across the glass a little lower for the top of the milk.
Step 4: The straw
Draw a long, thin, tilted rounded rectangle that starts at the rim and pokes up and out of the glass. Round off the top end.
Step 5: A smiling face
Draw two round dots for eyes in the middle of the glass. Add a small curved smile between them, a little lower.
Step 6: The cookie
Next to the bottom of the glass, draw a small round cookie that tucks in behind it. Give it a little bite on its edge and add two round chocolate chips.
Step 7: The pancake stack
To the right of the cookie, draw a short, wide shape like a can, with straight sides and rounded corners. Make the top and bottom edges gently curved.
Step 8: Layers and a blueberry
Draw three curved lines across the stack, one below the other, to make the pancake layers. Add one little round blueberry on top.
Step 9: The plate
Draw a big, flat oval around the bottom of the pancakes. Let the stack sit in the middle of it.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing milk and cookies
- Make the glass a bit narrower at the bottom than at the top. Take your time on the two long sides so they lean in the same amount.
- Curve every layer line on the pancakes the same way, like a gentle smile. This makes the stack look round instead of flat.
- Draw the cookie so it tucks in behind the glass. Stop the cookie's line where it meets the glass so it looks like it is leaning there.
